IT WAS SOO FUN!!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I went to the one called Usery Mountain Shooting Range, located off of Ellsworth and MacDowell. $6 entrance fee(all day), $2 for glasses, 50 cents for ear plugs. Thats if you didt bring yours. And its outdoors.

Shot a Kimber 1911 .45 Caliber, Sig .40 Caliber, HMR 17 Savage. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Would of shot a AK(dunno which model) But my friend said the bullets he bought didt fit it so he put it back into his case thing.

But boy guns are a expensive hobby. Wasted over 500 bullets within 1hour-2hour time frame.

what do you mean by reload?

what do you mean by reload?

Re using the spent cartriges, its pretty much pointless for a 9mm or 22, but for the 45 its a worthwhile investment especially if you shoot a lot.

Yea the Kimber had a kick but it wasn't that bad. Sig had less a kick then the Kimber. HMR had no kick. Yeah I saw alot of people with alot of guns, preety cool. Met and talked to alot of folks.

make your own bullets. save the brass from the bullets that u fire.u can reuse them later. buy a reload kit and buy the other things u need like, bullet heads, primer, powder, brass if need and a good reload book, or talk to other guys to see what they are using. keep track of your load using a load data book. that way you constantly shoot the same rounds and get super accurate. mass production bullets are not as accurate as personal reloads.

No I didt reload the cartriges.

Most ranges wont let you shoot reloads, at least around here, because they have no idea if you did something stupid like overload them.

Like having a second magazine you mean? For the kimber only one magazine so yes I had to reload it each time I used the gun. As for the Sig it had two magzines so that wasn't that bad.

No no, You know the casings, the brass peices ejected out of the chamber when you fire a round, you can put slugs and gunpowder back into them and re use them, its an expensive investment, but its worth it if you shoot a lot.

i shot slugs out of a shotgun for the first time last month at a shooting range. it was awesome.
