Long Rang Shooting

[ar15barrels]

How about some excerpts?

Holy crap.
I just found out that I am a Rambo type.
I don't shoot palma, f-class or benchrest and I own a BDU top that I use as my shooting coat as I had a sling loop sewn into the left shoulder!
I bought the BDU top because it was heavy duty, made in the USA and way more affordable and cooler in hot weather than a dedicated shooting jacket.
I never know that simply having the camo print on it was going to turn me into rambo.
They need to put that piece of info on a surgeon generals warning and sew it into the shirt before they sell them.

I wonder if I can dye it black to cover the camo print.
Shoot, then I would be a NInja.

I just can't win...

At least there is still some interest in long range rifle shooting. There are far fewer people who compete in Bullseye or free pistol, where the slow fire strings are at 50 yards one handed.

No.... if he's a "Rambo type", then he's not really Rambo. I'm thinking more along the lines of a Reb Brown.

Who is Reb Brown you may ask? Only one of the most promising action stars of the 80's. Just look at how many barrels his AR has!


Wait... so many AR barrels... arbarrels... rambo type..

Holy crap. Randall is really Reb Brown!

Lol, I can't tell if thats a cobra tattoo on his arm, or a cat turd.


On a side note, those barrels look pretty thin, like .22 thin. Imagine how many squirrels that thing could take out....

Barrels on an AR looking .22 thin, like the same diameter of 5.56? Besides, there's 7 barrels, notice the huge 6BR barrel in the middle of the 6 smaller barrels that doesn't have any muzzle flash.

Man.. you don't know Reb Brown? Next thing I know you'll tell me you don't know who Pierre Kirby is.

I think you might hit a sensitive nerve with Merc1138 if you mention 22 and squirrel in the same sentence?

Do you jump through tires? I thought from my limited time here you were an across the course type shooter.?

I remember you played sniper at the XTREME match........

Not very often, but I have probably had to run through tires 3 times in the last 18 years of shooting matches.

Here is the most recent stage that required us to run through tires:


That's NOT me in the video.
I shoot Precision Rifle, 3gun, IPSC/Action Pistol and Steel challenge.
I help run Precision Rifle matches monthly.
I don't get to do as much run-n-gun style shooting as I used to...

Does the asymmetrical tread pattern affect your grouping?

The tires you run through at matches are usually bald.
No tread...

Shooting off of a stack of tires is actually really neat because you can rest the gun on the tires solidly, then just flex the whole stack to adjust the elevation of your aim.

.22: 10,000rds divided by a 500rd brick = 20 bricks x $59.99 = $1,199.80 (Wolf MT)
"I will break my arbitrarily selected 10,000rds figure down for you as well. It equals less then 200rds of .22 a weekend for a year or a brick-a-weekend for 5 months. Not exactly an insurmountable delay prior to moving on to long-range"

Corrected my name for you. Seems you once again demonstrated your lack of attention-to-detail.

You are also still showing your inability to comprehend what is written, because you are fixated on the 10,000rds figure as some kind of requirement when I plainly stated and others understood it to be, simply a number picked to demonstrate the exponential cost increase involved for a new shooter trying to learn the basics with your recommended centerfire cartridge over a rimfire rifle.

While the 10,000rd figure was somewhat arbitrarily provided for the cost comparison example, it does have validity as far as mastering-the-basics-goes since it is a not unrealistic amount of .22 ammo to shoot in the pursuit of such. My kids and then grandson would easily go through double that amount in a year of range trips. Luckily a brick was only $5 back when my kids were learning, unlike what it cost me for the grandson.

This is for Steve in 29
"Contrary to the words you insist on putting in every bodies mouths, neither myself nor anyone else here, has said that long-range-shooting is learned by any means other then long-range-shooting."

"A good 22 and a few years of practice and you'll be ready to go."

"When a shooter masters a 22 at 200yds, they are ready to jump into a centerfire and push the target out to 800yds and beyond."

I think those are quotes taken from this thread that actually show you as the liar here an that the person with the foot in his mouth is obvious to all reading.

Quotes that simply recommend a .22 for learning the basics of shooting don't support your position that, "people are telling the OP to learn long-range shooting with a .22" in the slightest. Where do your selected quotes say anything about long-range shooting??

Why is it that you are totally incapable of differentiating between recommendations about mastering the basics of shooting and learning how to shoot long-range?

In your favor though, you have definitely convinced me that you don't have your foot in your mouth, because I can see that there is no way for your foot to reach your mouth now that you have shown us how deep your cranial orb is inserted into your rectal cavity. My head hurt just trying to make sense of your cut/paste hodgepodge mess.

Strangely enough, that round they use for the "i" sure does seem to be a rimfire. Note the slight flare of the base. LOL

Hey Steve in 29
I am not fixated with 10,000 rounds at all.You are the one posting here about buying 10,000 rounds and how you yourself shoot 10,000 rounds I just used YOUR example and most thought it was silly as did I.

I recommend zero rounds of 22 but for some reason you can't figure that out.

I am also fully capable of differentiating what is being said here.The OP wants to shoot longrange and you want him to learn fundamentals with a squirrel gun then after some arbitrary amount of time a lightbulb will go off above his head and it will suddenly be the right time to shoot longrange.

I want him to learn longrange by shooting longrange and you think that is impossible.

Again with the elitist jerkwad attitude. How do you manage to not end up with spit in your food every time you go out to eat?

Also there you go again trying to prove something. No one has questioned your shooting ability(no one seems to care either), yet you keep wanting to brag. Sure, people are obviously in disagreement with your ideas about how to learn basic shooting fundamentals, but it's your attitude that has gotten so many people(and apparently not just this thread, an entire club based off what you've posted in the other) irritated just from communicating with you.

As far as the plaques


I still don't agree with your ideas of how to learn fundamentals.
