Target Shooting

I picked up target shooting as my new hobby. figure if i need to take out a hoodlum in my house I better have good aim. Its fun and slightly expensive.

When I move back to California we'll go shooting sometime. I want to pretend I'm in Duck Hunt and shoot me down some ducks.

I've shot some clay pigeons before. Needless to say, my inexperience with a gun was apparent as I only hit one, but I must say it was a fun experience. Seeing those clay pigeons explode is just awesome.

I went to the range last weekend. Shooting at 20 feet and at 50 feet is a big difference.

i do a lot of shooting as well. i have a glock 32 wich is chamberd in 357. sig. lots of fun to shoot

I weighed the option between a .45 an a 9mm. Ammo was alot cheaper for the 9mm and thats how I made the decison. Ill get a .45 at some poitn but right now I cant afford it.

yea I know thats right. you may want to consider a gun chamberd in 357.sig when your ready for a new gun. its a little pricey. not quite as bad as 45 in price. but its the flattest shooting of the auto chambers and VERY powerfull. its fast becomeing a very common chambering. the u.s sky marshels,fbi,secret service and many highway patrols ect have switched to it. it basicly a 40. S&W shell necked down like a high powered rifle shell in to a 9mm bullet. think of it as a 9mm magnum lol.it has about the same power as a 357 magnum hence the marketing name 357sig when shooting the standerd 125gr bullets . also the bottle neck makes it inherently reliable.also most guns that are chamberd in 357sig can easly and cheaply converted in to a 40s&W or a 9mm with just a barrel change.

not saying its imparative you buy another chamber lol 9mm is fine. im just a 357sig enthusiast

can't say I have ever done any shooting myself however I do have a friend who lives in the US who used to do it back last year but not sure if he still does, he really enjoyed it though.
