I shoot just about everything but at the moment I have been concentrating on High Power Rifle and IDPA. I shoot around 460-465 during High Power rifle[Armalite AR-15 Service rifle] and with the IDPA[.45 Colt Commander] I have a 1.8 concealed draw. I spent 10 years with a Civil War Artillery club.[five year straight 1ST place pistol winner East Davinport Iowa] I have a AA rating in Silhouette .22 rifle and AAA Silhouette .22 pistol. Excuse the vanity. I didn't even tell my wife I score like that.

Maybe you can explain something to me.

Every time I shoot IDPA I always get the highest score, or the next highest score, but they never call me the winner.

Whazzzup with that?

The real thing!

I am a hunter, plinker, and round waster not a real shooter. I used to have a Colt Sporter (AR15 without places for special accomodations) and it plinked very good at 400 yards with open sights.

Sold my Springfield 1911 to a x-army shooter, last year.

Would like to get a good AR15 for plinking, maybe shooting.

Georgia Light Artilleryman since 1996. Recently joined Howell's Battery. They have a Napoleon. Most familiar with 3-inch Parrott Rifles.

A muzzle-loading piece from the 1860's is served by a detachment of seven cannoneers commanded by a Gunner. Each cannoneer has a specific duty to perform.

At the command LOAD, Cannoneer No. 4 inserts the lanyard into the ring of a primer, and stands in his position.

At the command READY, he steps in with his right foot, drops the tube into the vent, takes the lanyard in his right hand, moves to the rear so far as to keep the lanyard slack, but capable of being stretched, without altering his position, which should be clear of the wheel, left foot broken to the left and rear.

At the command FIRE, as soon as No. 3 is clear of the wheel No. 4 pulls the lanyard briskly and firmly, passing the hand, back up, in a downward direction to the rear, so as to keep the lanyard hook from flying back in the direction of the face.

Translated, he be da man what pull da string what make da gun go boom.

My pirate name is Bloody James Flint Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
