Oh, I keep an eye on that list. I wanna go at some point. Just thought it would be nice to go with a fellow forum member. @swilliams? @GOYABEAN? Any of you other expats? (Or those behind the lines that like to travel)

In NJ. Doing the football thing with the boys. The shit I put up with, I tell ya. Every single fall weekend stuck here. If my older one didn't love to play so much, I'd be rooting for the opposing team so we don't make the play-offs.
Still don't have sights completely done on the AR, nor have I gotten the scope put on my kid's 10/22. Too much crap going on in life for the last few months.

Anybody hit the range today? Its so beautiful where I'm at I wish I could.
Yep, Sunday is my range day. Shot the 92FS, 1911, Ruger MK4 and the Savage Model 10 (6.5CM) today.
But you already turned in a target!
Who else is gonna turn in targets?
Are y'all really gonna let me, with my shoddy ass pistol craft, take the pistol category? I'll never let y'all live it down!

i have some factory .308 i can shoot with on tuesday, i'll see if i can shoot my current AR at 25 yrds at my range but they only have 25 on the pistol line so they may not be appreciative of that. unfortunately the crown has not allowed me to own or fire a pistol yet thoguh so thats a no go for now.
Come to PA, I'll tell you how to break into my apt. and give you the combo to the safe so you can shoot my stuff at my range. The only rule they have is the "don't be a dumbass" rule.

Not my best but still respectable. I tried the pistol one and didn't do too hot with that, lol.
Fun as always!
All right, another shooter, nice job! You did fine!
Thanks!
nice shooting!
Not trying to blow my own horn or anything, but speaking objectively I feel like I'm out-shooting my AR platform and it's annoying me. Not surprising though since this was a budget build, but hopefully soon I'll have money to put into a nice bolt action and scope. Then I'll be able to see what I can really do, lol. Also hand loading would probably help, but I haven't gotten into that scene yet.... one day....

I bet handloading improves your accuracy more than a new gun does. Its cheaper too!

meh, none of my ARs will ever be tack drivers like my savage probably could be if i was a better shooter. Thats why i havent considered loading for it yet. my goal with an AR is man sized at up to 500. When you do invest in a bolt action though, hand-loading was the best decision i ever made. I saw a difference almost immediately with factory ammo, which wasn't very consistent even with match stuff. now that i finally feel I'm getting my consistency down with the gun itself though, i want to try some factory ammo again. i have 2 boxes of hornady non-typical, may try it out tomorrow if i can manage to get to the range. then I'll load 100 rds of those 110 v-maxes and compare.
I still find myself shooting factory ammo every now and then. This last winter I was quite lazy with my hand loads and didn't load the 5000 rounds I normally do for the next Shooting season. As a result I shot a lot more factory ammo this year than I have in the previous 5 years combined. The only benefit is I have an increased amount of once fired brass.
