I got to take Dahlia out for a session in some woods behind a friend's grandparents' house. And it was a hell of a lot of fun! I was anticipating the recoil the first few times, but it really isn't that bad. I mean it's surely a kick, but it's no big deal. Our targets were an empty plastic bucket and an empty plastic jug, pretty much. No reactive targets or paper for patterning shot, but oh well. Pics? Why yes, and I'm even in them.

I was trying to get my friend to catch a muzzle flash, but it didn't end up working. This one was taken during recoil. After firing, when the action opened up I guess the pressure of my hand on the foregrip had the foregrip working back, that's why it's rearward.

Same deal here.

Here's my friend. I was going for a Resident Evil 4 over-the-shoulder view and it turned out pretty well.

Here's a sapling he blasted with a slug. The shot was only taken from about a yard away, but it was the cleanest shot you could hope for. The frayed part kind of had the top just collapse and settle down onto the lower part, then tipped. I nudged it with my finger and it just fell right off.

We did some firing from the hip, just for the lulz. My friend missed the target at about seven yards all but once I think.

I fared better, angling the gun sideways and pulling forward on the foregrip and backward on the stock, letting it just pop in my hand. I managed clean hits every time, and firing from the hip is perfectly viable if you're not going for distances. It's exaggerated in movies of course, but it's usable.

Here's what a slug ended up doing to the tree after piercing the plastic bucket. I ended up getting a good hit with a slug out to maybe thirty yards that was dead center. Would have tried for further but we just didn't have much of an open area.

All in all, a great time. My friend's girlfriend was standing by, and we tried to get her to shoot the Px4 Storm. I taught her the four rules and basic operations, but she just wouldn't do it. Irrational fear, I guess. We asked her why she didn't want to, but I don't think she actuall knew. Oh well, maybe next time.

Fukken saved. Also, yes, pretty often. Usually I'll go for the standard white dress shirt which looks less mafia-y, but it felt like a black shirt day. And the peacoat is a little too heavy usually, but it was a cold day, to Louisiana standards.

I like dressy clothes. Maybe not ideal for shooting in, but I wasn't uncomfortable.

I thought it was pretty good, if only to see Samuel L. Jackson in an SS uniform.

Also, there wasn't a chick in that movie that DIDN'T look good.

I enjoyed it as being a ridiculously ******** satire of the entire genre.

I don't know what it was I was expecting out of it, but whatever it was I didn't get it.

But you're right about the women.

Maybe I should watch it again.

EDIT: Oh, also this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqXi8WmQ_WM lol

You guys look like you had fun.

Are you leaning into the shots? It's not nearly as bad if you do.

Where's your range at? Backyard? Hunting property? State park?

Mhm, fun indeed. I don't remember if I leaned in or not. I know I was supposed to, and I knew that while I was shooting then, so I probably did...? And it's a backyard in an empty, wooded area. Nearest home is about a mile, and we were shooting at angles that had the shot into the ground within twenty-thirty yards. So no chance of stray pellets hitting neighbors or anything.

@Rommel - Thanks. I love my suit clothes.
