I Decided to Take Shooting Lessons...

[Que]

I just got my first AR and haven't shot this platform since I got out of the Army. So, Jake called me up last night and said he was willing to break off some of the rust on me. He wanted to ensure I understood how to use a scope, so he demonstrated with Slimplmr's 44 caliber rifle.

I'm not sure I can do it the same way he did it, so I will have to practice.

Everything you read prior to the video is fabricated for the sake of humor, but video speaks for itself!

DOH!!! Someone's been shooting .22's for too long!!!

Don't feel bad Jake, I'm worried about doing that this weekend after I pick up the .308 I'm buying.

 

[dom1104]

Doh! lol.

 

[aclark]

Did that a couple weeks ago with someones milsurp at the NWI meet and shoot.

Thanks Que.....I hope you learned a lesson.

 

[Que]

Thanks Que.....I hope you learned a lesson.

No problem. I had a blast and thanks for letting me shoot with you guys.

Maybe you should have showed him what the rifle capable of doing before putting his eye that close.haha hope he didn't get hurt

Nah, it barely touched him. His head is hard as Indiana limestone.

 

[jmildoc]

COOL!!! Can I do that too??!!?!

i'll take that poor rifle off your hands if you want....

 

[308jake]

Only my pride was hurt during the live demonstration.

 

[dak109]

This is exactly why I hate camera's

 

[Cru]

Yeah, I did that one day when shooting a single shot .44 mag rifle after shooting .22s all day. It cut my eyebrow pretty bad. Good job not bleeding!

 

[DaKruiser]

Only my pride was hurt during the live demonstration.

Dang Jake, you shouldn't let Que abuse you like that!


I'm glad it didn't bite any harder!

What? You still have pride? I thought that was gone a long time ago.
And whats up QUE? sorry i didnt get off of work to go to the range with you guys, but it was good to meet you at the 1500.

Big dummy.

Some day, I should tell you all about the first time I was deer hunting...with a shotgun.

OK....here it goes.

I had never fired a shotgun before. I was on private property which had a firewatch tower. I was in the tower...all cool and sniper-like...when three does and a nice buck strolled right underneath me.

I took careful aim at the buck with the gun...sight alignment, sight picture...and a nice tight CHEEK WELD on the left side of the stock...just like I was taught while firing an M16.

I fired. The buck dropped like a ton of bricks right where he stood.

I tried to yell "I got one!" at my father-in-law who was on the other side of the cornfield, but my swollen and bloody mouth wouldn't let me!

I'm such an ass.

 

[DarkRose]

Did the same thing the first time i ever fired a real gun, I was probably between 8-10 years old, and it was my dad's Mini-14 with a scope. Got my eye right up there so I could see good, pulled the trigger... *WHAP*

"Here son, lets shoot something a little smaller..."

 

[slimplmbr]

Gotta say had a blast shooting with you guys. I gotta say I was worried for a little bit, thought Jake might have broke my scope. Don't worry though Jake it got Billy not a week before.

 

[JoshuaW]

Been there, done that!

I dont shoot long guns much, and when I do it, its mostly .22s. Whenever someone hands me something larger, I wind up hurting myself if I dont think it through. That first shot is always brutal!

 

[RachelMarie]

I personally like the pause before he turned to te camera with the big smile. lol. Too funny.

Way to lure us in, Que.

Way to take it, Jake.
