What Do You Do With Your Guns?
« on: May 02, 2009, 08:12:13 AM »
You can vote for up to eight times on this poll!  I did this to allow multi-discipline shooters to fully express themselves.

Every once in a while we have this discussion, but with the rapid growth of members on DRTV I thought it would be a good time to share again.

What do you do with your guns?  I purposely left out carry, because we discuss that in depth on other threads, and fondle is also not here, because we have all be exposed as "perverts"  ;)  If this goes well we will open one up for leather and lace with M'ette explaining the proper use of the whip  ;D

some USPSA, maybe 1 match a year these days.
I collect odd balls and earily american shot guns( of which I always shoot them if its safe to do so)


I've not plinked in years.  never really enjoyed it.  Much rather play clay games.

I hunt year around switching between traditional archery gear and firearms as the whim and season moves me.
Plinking? I guess I do...mostly stump shooting with my bow or 10-.22.
Target shooting at the local range is a new one for me. I get to try out rental guns and decided what to put on my wish list.

Hunt, plink, collect and, since I don't have time for the first two so much...I do other.  Which is "gawk" at them.  The new LCR and the used CZ 75 P-01 are on my desktop to "gawk" at whilst passing the desk during the day.  I plan on "gawking" at them a little bit more then replace them with a Browning Buckmark/TacSolutionsbarrel/AACPilot to "gawk" at and maybe an HK USP Tac in 45 (about time it showed up for the wife to see) to share the "gawking" with. 

Gawk, gawk, gawk, gawk, gawk...I'll probably throw some c-l-i-p-s for the Buckmark alongside to "gawk" at them knowing I just raised Haz's blood pressure.   ;D

Gawk, gawk, gawk, gawk, gawk...at the c-l-i-p-s.

I collect, hunt, shoot trap, and plink.  With the exception of shooting trap, my time at the range was spent "punching paper".  When the price of ammo started going up, I began shooting a lot of .22, which I hadn't done in a while because it just didn't give me the warm fuzzies like the big calibers.  I must say, however, after investing in a few spinners and resetting targets, this is how I prefer to spend my range time.

Plink, Collect, and SD(other).,  I also can assassinate watermelon, old desktop computers, and water jugs with relentless consistency. ::)

Also, leave them to my son and his future family.

I want them to know grampa, great-grampa, believed in the 2nd Amendment, loved his country, and had some bad ass firearms.

High Capacity, "tweaked", custom, accurate as all get out, and there if and when you might them...

Just like my grandfather's Mauser, it's best "in the family" ;)
