Waymore Loco Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 That's 99% of the gun grabbers cleaning out the gun stores now.
watab kid Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 agreed - been commnin in asking how to get the bullets into what they bought gonna hurt too
Pat Riot Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 Well, at least the sling matches his outfit... Hammer’s cocked What could go wrong? He looks like a Bob Dylan wannabe...
Perro Del Diablo Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 I hope that’s a big bore so they can enjoy true recoil.
Waymore Loco Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 I saw a guy get a box of ammo and go ask which gun would fit it.

Waymore Loco Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 All the cheap stuff was gone. Nothing left but odd stuff.
DeaconKC Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 One advantage to the not "tacticool" calibers.
Sixgun Sheridan Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 The hardest thing for me to do when I'm coaching new shooters is get them to understand that the buttplate goes against their shoulder and they need to bend their head down to see the sights. That and teaching them to stop holding handguns halfway down the grip.

I don't see people doing that with their firing hand, but the "Charlie's Angles" hold with the support hand and thumb wrapped around the firing-hand wrist is sure popular with newbies. And yeah, they learn soon enough that's not a good idea. I learned that myself when I was 10yo and firing my dad's Ruger .22, and I still have a faint scar on my knuckle to this day.
Sedalia Dave Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 My lesson was learned about 45 years ago courtesy of a little 25 auto my dad had. Took a very big chunk of hide out between my thumb and finger. Still hurts when I thing about it
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 Definitely some dental work for the bearded lad.
Pat Riot Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 I only crossed my left thumb over my right thumb when firing a 1911 once. I am looking at the scar right now. A few years ago I made friends with a guy that was an "Army Sniper and Military Police" in Bosnia back in the 90's. I took him shooting. He crossed his left thumb over his right when starting to fire my Glock. I stopped him and reminded him what and autoloader will do if held that way when firing. He said "Oh yeah" then did it anyway. Good thing I had my first-aid kit. He then decided he wanted to shoot one of my AR-15s. He didn't know much about about it. He had a hard time comprehending why the raised sights made a difference at short ranges as well as bullet drop vs distance. I got him to admit that he was an Army Cook. Not a Sniper or an MP. That day was the last time we spoke.
Alpo Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 I learned by watching another guy. I don't have scars on my thumb knuckles.
Black Angus McPherson Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 6 hours ago, Sedalia Dave said: That mistake only happens once. You would think that, but, no. I tried to teach a guy to shoot and warned him about the potential problem before he fired a shot. He did it anyway. "I warned you not to do that. Hurts, don't it?" The next magazine he did the same thing. He was a slow learner. Proof that stupid CAN hurt you. Angus

Waymore Loco Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 That's the kind of stuff that is left.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 .458 Win Mag "Trust me. All the best shooters are going to this one!"
bgavin Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 This looks like the same newbs I see at the gun counters... day late.. dollar short... and clueless.
Pat Riot Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 This seems to be catching on...of course a pellet gun doesn't kick like a 30-30.
Waymore Loco Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 That one would be more fun to watch regardless of the result.
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 You have to hold it like that so you can get your eyeball closer the telescope thingee.
Horace Patootie, SASS #35798 Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 I would like some 8mm Nambu ammo if I could find it at a reasonable price. Horace
Sedalia Dave Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Went into Academy today. No rifle or pistol ammo of any kind and only about 3 cases of shotgun ammo if you lumpd all the different kinds together.
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 I always have band-aids in my range bag.

Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Looks like a 30-30, would be worse if it was .444 Marlin

Toward the beginning of the pandemic, about the time the rush started, I had that happen quite often at the store I work at. People would find boxes of 10mm or .357Sig and ask if we had guns in those calibers.
Tom Bullweed Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 They call it a .30/30 'cause it will be an issue 30 times out of 30 that you hold it this way and pull the trigger.
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 I will confess that, long ago, when I first shot a scoped rifle (I hadn't grown up with them), I cut a nice half-moon slice above my eye. Bled like the devil. But at least I had shouldered the gun......
