| My girl shooting
Went long range shooting last week with my woman. She lurks here, but she is to much into her gardening to spend much time. I'm workin on it though  Last edited by Mad Hatter; 05-05-2008 at 04:14 PM. |

Outstanding! I noticed that the AR in the foreground has a slightly bigger magwell than the one she's shooting... .308 and .223, respectively?

Yeah she enjoyed shooting the .223, a little scared at first until she shot it. She had only shot .22 rifle and pistol before. I removed the scope and she put every round on target at 200 yards with the iron sights.. not bad She didn't want any part of the .308 (sell33, they are both DPMS and you could borrow it if you lived closer..lol) |

Looks like you both had a great time. Congrats on getting the better half out there with ya'. Also looks like a decent range. Got any pictures of what it looks like down range? How far back does it go? Is 200yds. the max? Or can you send 'em out to 300 and 400 yds.? I'd love to have a range like that close to me or even an hours drive away. Hell, if I had the cash, or collateral for that matter, I'd build and open one. It would have to get some business as there isn't any around here and you know people have them to shoot. lol

My wife is a shooter too ... she loves her Sig Sauer P232 (.380 HydraShocks)... and loves the scoped Ruger 10/22, which I "gave" to her. She's tried the M4 (kinda likes it) but does not like the M14 or the Garand. |
