How many people shoot guns in real life, or only pball guns?

[ronron2112]

well... how many choot outside of paintball, like real guns?
i wonder if there is a correlation here

i shoot competively in Trap

[rifleman]

Heh, me! (go figure)

I shoot smallbore and highpower tournys.

Here's me at my first competition this summer:


*I earned first place in r.sitting as a unclassified junior too*---gloat

[ronron2112]

is that a bushmaster?? or the civ. AR-15?

anyway it looks like a blast

[udtseal]

I do!!! I used to go shooting with my dad all the time (pistols, high power rifle) just for recreation. My dad won Masters in New Jersey two years in a row, high power DCM matches (like Rifleman is doing above). He is darn good. Seen him put two through the same hole at 100 yards standing, with Iron Sites!!! Soon I will buy my newest baby, either a H&K USP 45 or a Browning HighPower. Dunno which one yet.

I love to go shooting with my dad when I get the chance. My personal favorite is the AR-15. Snappy, light weight, short recoil, and dead on accurate, very fun to shoot.

Use to shoot competitive machine gun '89-'92. We All Army and All Military 3 years in a row. Nobody has done that before or since.

I content myself with long range varmint shooting (400yds and beyond!), mainly ground squirrels but I take coyotes when they show themselves. Sarah just started shooting the .45 at steel, and she is GOOD!

I shoot paintball guns in real life!

I, too, have done a lot of trapshooting. I don't do it much any more because of paintball (I just can't afford both). I still shoot pistol/revolvers in local plate and bowling pin shoots. I also put on handgun shoots throughout the summer months at my local sportsman's club.

ronron, ever shoot trap at Singletary R&G Club?

My father an I started doin' a bit more trap shooting. I've got a Barretta 12 gauge/ 26" barrel. Pretty nice, tho since it's pretty lightweight, the recoil is a bit annoying.

My best score the last time I went (After 3 years or so of not shooting) was 14/25. I didn't think it was that bad.

Another thing that we might be getting into is "Continental" where you have 3 sets of shots, 2 shots each set, the first shoots a clay vertically straight up in the air (2 shots for this one), then another set called a "report double", 1 clay is like your standard skeet, and as soon as you shoot the first one, a "rabbit" starts rollin' around on the ground, which you also shoot. Lastly is a plain' ol double where 2 clays are simultaneously thrown, and need to be taken down with 2 shots.

Pretty fun stuff. I understand how you guys thing rifle/pistol shooting is fun, but compared to shooting a moving target like a clay pigeon, It's nothin'

I saw my cousin pop one in a squrrel from 200 yards (600 feet) with a .50 cal ( yeah... a .50 cal)and a scope as long as my leg. the second the bullet hit the squrrel, it flew back about 20 feet and we went up to it and was ripped it too. it was pretty cool.

i have not shot at the Singletary R&G club. When i am CT, i am shooting with my grandparents and uncles at the Wallingford R&G club. But i live up in MA

[Webmaster]

I dont get to do it as much as Id like - but I shoot trap, skeet, and rifle...

My dad is DAMN good - even in his old age. Missed going to the olympics by THIS much in the 70s

[BlackVCG]

I've shot NRA and USAS 3-position smallbore rifle for the last six years. I shoot matches all throughout the NW. My smallbore rifle is an Anschutz Super Match 2013 and air rifle is an Anschutz Super Air 2002. In full-course 3-position smallbore matches, I shoot 1100-1130's (out of 1200) and in air rifle around 380's (out of 400). I'll try to post some pics of my equipment later.

[Minimag4me]

i shoot, not competitions but i shoot. I go hunting and target shooting with shotgun, pistols and rifles. Fun stuff.

utdseal: go with the USP

[ronron2112]

so i dooo sense a correlation. but im not sure how true it is.. but for now i see that some people that play paintball are active shooters... once some ppl respond to thiswho dont shoot, it would help the results..

wow i feel smart.. correlation is a BIIGG word

[covadsucks]

Shoot competition with my .45 and 9 mil...Hunt with a 300 mag... keep the hollowpoints ready just in case my home is broken into, as my grandmother's house was burglarized Christmas Eve while she was at my families function.
