short barrel SG, cut shells, zombie target practice
Last Friday nite, went out to the property with some cousins, brought my short barrelled pump SG, a hand full of cut bird shot shells, and a make shift zombie target fashioned from an old sign that I found years ago.;) We all shot from over 100 yards, including 5.56, 30-06 rifles, and also a 9mm G19. We got some good hits in...and I was especially excited about the cut shell hits!:D

Nice. Sounds like a good time! Wish I had a remote place to shoot out here.
What do you mean by "cut shells?" |

Interesting...woulda never thought that.

Sweet. Was it the first time you tried cut shells? And did you cut the shells yourself?
|
it was only my second time cutting shells
I had tried it before, about a month ago for the first time...had cut and shot about a box of bird shot with my swiss army knife at the same distance. Shot off hand, with the short barrel - no rifling, and I found that it shot pretty straight, but high. So, at 100 yards I had my bead below the "zombie's nether regions" to land the chest and head shots.
If you try it, you'll have a blast, just be sure to load and shoot single shot style. Cheers.:43: |
I love shooting cut shells. The price of birdshot, but they hit like slugs!
Glad you guys had fun! |
Definitely going to have to try this one time! Thanks for the info.
|
you had a really good time with some cousins....
|
Dang, didn't know about cut shells until now. THanks!
