LAZ HIT IT

Well, at long last, GingisK and Lazamataz hit it!
Um, at the gun range.
Weather was clear and windless, the variety of firearms was truly something to behold, and the company was wonderful.
GingisK picked me up, and after picking up his illustrious and charming boys, and meeting his lovely and gracious wife (where we all supped on Pizza, one of them affectionally named 'Sam'), we then proceeded to a delightful range slightly east of Lanier Lake in Georgia.
I finally got a chance to break in my Glock 22, and discovered that after an initial period of reacquaintence with shooting (in other words, I was all over the paper), I finally started shooting more consistently with the Glock. I also showed Gingis and his sons the Ball and Dummy drill, in which you -- unbeknownst to the shooter -- either give them a pistol with a round chambered, or no round chambered. On the times when you attempt to fire on an empty battery, you end up seeing what sort of flinch or motion you would have done if there was a live round. For most people, they see they would have shot low. People tend to anticipate recoil by pushing down.
We also had a chance to fire a very poorly-sighted-in 9mm (make unknown, looked wonderful but shot like crap), an extremely easy to use .22 pistol with almost know felt recoild, a very nice 8mm Mauser rifle (boy did that shoot true), a Springfield 03 rifle, a Ruger Ranch rifle that seemed to be sighted extremely high, a M1A (what a dream machine that was), and one I felt an immediate connection to - an L1A1 that I seemed to fire so well that Gingis started remarking, "Looks like Laz is hittin' it.". LOL
GingisK brought his boys, who shot very expertly. Safety was maintained, much lead was cast downrange, political opinions were traded (and in most cases merely reinforced), and all-in-all, truly a wonderful day. It is something I would like to repeat. :)
The FAL is one hell of a rifle.
“with almost know felt recoild”
You stuck that in there just to see if anybody was actually paying attention, didn’t you?
Sounds like you boys had fun! Good for you.
ping
M1A = sweetness. Sounds like fun :)
The FAL shoots better than the shooter. LOL
So does mine LoL
The M1A is a Cadillac, no doubt, but I (re)fell in love with the sporty Ferrari feel of the FAL.
At least you can hit *something*!
You affectionately named one of your pizzas ‘Sam’? I know you’d hit most anything, but I didn’t know you named your pizzas. Avanti! Bravo!
lol.......
nO Pictures?
Well that just ain’t right!
I love my ‘03 but I can actually shoot my 03A3 and hit the bull. The 03 ladder sight is not meant for ancient eyes.
The best shooter in my collection is my Swede M96 with
competition sights.
My fav pistol is still the HK45.
LAZ HIT IT
don't be fooled by counterfeits, FReepers!
Next stop. Appleseed. See my tag line.
It’s totally your business whether and what you name your pizzas, but why did you name your pizza “Sam”?
No pics? What the **** kind of Freeper are you?
