Pics of Independence Day Shoot at Shirley Rod and Gun - 56k Warning.

[vicpinto]

Since there is no picture thread yet I figured I would start one. Great time was had by all. There were plenty of guys and gals taking pictures so I hope to see them all up soon. You non green members need to go green. These shoots are some of the benefits you get. That's my monthly NES plug. Enjoy the pics.

Fooped sports the evil black rifle, evil black magazine and evil t-shirt. There's enough evil here to make a card carrying gun grabber shit his or her pants.

What can I say? I am a sucker for a good looking woman who likes to shoot.

More great images! Thanks Dench for "heat treating" with me, that was great! and sure made some noise!!

 

[depicts]

Vic, some of those shots show real promise. Did you ever think about maybe becoming a photographer???

 

[z0mbi]

Awesome pics, vic! You keep lugging that beast of a camera around and you're gonna look like Ahnuld in no time.

 

[packingungal]

Nice pictures, looks like you guys and girls had lots of fun.

 

[Kalahari]

Man I wish I could've gone. I'm really hoping for another event before the end of the summer that I'll be able to make.

 

[m44]

Damn I wished i could have gone .

 

[MassMark]

It was simply awesome....

 

[P-14]

Looks like y'all had fun. One comment though: Who was the SO? Several shooters did not have eye protection on! A sight-limiting move for sure.

Pig-tails and machine guns. What could be more classic?

I didn't even shoot it and I was whining to my friend about how heavy it was.

Pffft....

I've got handguns heavier than that. Especially when they're loaded.

While I freely admit to "whining" about its heaviness, it was really a statement of surprise, because I have just about everything in the world bolted to my AR, and I own a full size M1A, and this thing was unexpectedly heavier than either by a lot.......upon further refelction though that was pretty lame of me.

PS - also kudos to Vic on the pictures, especially the one of me in my USA hat, I don't look a bit over 275 in that photo. Of course then I realized its really just a picture of my head, and one arm, so that is probably about right.

I can attest to that. The backblast almost knocked me over, and I wasn't even the one shooting it.

DING! We have a winner!

That picture actually has all of you in it. I cropped it tight just to show the just hat and AR - it was July 4th afterall. I just realized something about that pic... I caught the bolt in it's rearward position. Nice!

Very cool pictures...Thanks!

The one from above showing the new handgun range is pretty cool...On the lower left side of the picture, it kind of looks like there are ghosts of people.

What makes the picture is the nail polish on the hand of the forward grip of the machinegun.

] I just realized something about that pic... I caught the bolt in it's rearward position. Nice!

yeah, i noticed that when i saw it. the bolt moves incredibly fast, very very hard to get a photo with the bolt all the way back! the photo of me with my AR shows the brass only about 6 inches out of the gun, and the bolt is already fully closed. very hard to get the open bolt photo!
