Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Alas I blew the steel off the frame after the 2nd clip. And I don't have a path plowed down to the 100 yd line yet. It's down hill and a bit slippery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Gambler Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 How loud is it to shoot out a window like that? Does the majority of the noise wind up outside the house because it comes out the barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the majority of the noise wind up outside the house because it comes out the barrel? I'm not in the house. The Mem sahib would take a dim view of that. The man cave is about 150 feet from the main house. I don't know how loud it is.I could do it without ear protection...but I don't think I will.

Noz Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 My father, in an attempt to eliminate town dogs chasing our cows, fired my 30-06 Remington 742 semi auto with the 18" barrel out the passenger side window of his pickup truck while he sat in the drivers seat. This means the end of the barrel was about 8" inside of the pickup cab. He was not a "gun person" and was rather miffed that I had not warned him.

Trigger Mike Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 what a view and what a cool way to practice. once in a while i shoot out my back window and no one notices much, though if they are asleep it may wake up one of them. i only do it if a predator is attempting to eat my chickens.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks Bob. I do similar 'exercise' from my kitchen window, mostly with a .22 or .22 CB caps. My property has been nationally recognized as a 'No Fly Zone' for starlings and violation of the 'Zone' can often prove terminal. On occasion, when I get a 'Mob Violation' of the Zone, I break out the Mossberg 930 and reap havoc, whether they be on the ground or in the trees. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamus McGillicuddy Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Reminds me of a story my buddy told me of being home in Eastern Washington taking a bead on an elk out through his kitchen window. Just before he fired his Mom walked in and made him "go outside" so he took it from the back porch. Remember Rooster's landlord Chin Lee says: "Outside is place for shooting!"

Subdeacon Joe Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I have met the sniper. And he is me. AH! I thought that since we couldn't see the sniper in the snow he was somewhere out there and you were trying to pot him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Well I managed to get a path cleared down to the 100yd targets and re-set the steel. Wasn't sure if I'd make it back up the hill or have to leave Pacman down there till spring but we made it okay. Now to shovel snow off the roof of the wife's pottery shed.Could be worse. I could be in DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cleaned up any big surface rocks years ago. I may have flung some brass and the occasional arrowhead though. And I keep a bucket of shear pins handy.
