How do I correctly open a sealed tin ammo can??

Capt'n Mil Coll · 10-16-2009, 04:21 AM

Now was that on YOUR target or the one on the lane next to you?

Mooseman684 · 10-16-2009, 04:38 AM

Probably the one laying on the ground....

OK, you obviously have shot a CMP shoot before. I learned quickly that the first thing you do when you line up your sights is to check to make sure your lane number is above the target you are aiming at. One time I counted 11 holes in my target after I had only fired 10 shots. The guy beside me only had 9 holes in his. STFU, NO, it was not the one in the X ring!

It goes: "Once I (tex) had a target on the ground beside my foot. I fired at it with my rifle, and missed.".

I have a funny story about that. Tex was the third shooter from the left, so I was looking through a spotting scope at target #3. As far as I could see, Tex was not even hitting the paper. Found out he was really in position #4, there being a space between him and position #2. I was looking at the wrong target!

Fortunately, Tex wasn't.

Although that would have been a good excuse for him!

LefthandShooter · 10-16-2009, 02:11 PM

Sounds to me like Tex paid Gannie to try to cover for him.
Too bad we didn't belive it.

gandog56 · 10-16-2009, 04:28 PM

Nah, too bad he didn't pay me ENOUGH!

texnmidwest · 10-16-2009, 04:49 PM

If I tell the truth why do I have to pay anyone?!!!

Fortunately, I am not a proud person. I hit everything I aim at. I have learned to change what I am aiming at after seeing what I actually hit! HA!

LefthandShooter · 10-16-2009, 04:51 PM

Can't argue with that logic!

Nobody need to open a spam can lately?

texnmidwest · 11-07-2009, 08:09 AM

Well, I think we taught them all how to do it correctly!

Heck, when I was qualifying with the .45 in the Navy, after I fired 25 shots, my target had 28 holes in it.

Needless to say one of the guys next to me was closing his eyes every time he pulled the trigger. Woosy!

Shouldn't it then be "I aim at everything I hit"?

LefthandShooter · 11-11-2009, 01:19 PM

When it comes toTex, who knows what he was aiming at or what he hit!

He once shot an arrow into the air ... AND MISSED!

Yes, but did you qualify?

I had an orange sized group of 24 right about the heart. I saved the last shot for between the eyes, but missed and hit the left eye.

Of course I qualified.

The guy next to me didn't.

Went straight from there to my second gas mask training. Nothing like proving your mask works like making you take it off in a tear gas filled room.

Wish I had that mask after Tex downs a plate of beans!

Tex your prolly like me...You miss on purpose to keep other's that shoot with you from haveing there feelings hurt ROFL !!!!!!!!!

texnmidwest · 11-12-2009, 09:17 PM

It means much more to them to feel superior. I shall not shame them by out shooting them in front of their friends. I don't miss on purpose, I just shoot for the copyright symbol at the bottom of the target.

SwedeSteve · 11-13-2009, 05:26 PM

I know how you feel Tex !!
