Shooting at Angeles Dec 24th

[aermotor]

Looks like there's another group going up to the spot as well on Christmas Eve, but for hose that can't make it that far post up in here. I'll be there at 8:30.

[johnlee]

Some friends and I will be at Angeles tomorrow.

Some friends and I will be at Angeles tomorrow.

Let us know how that AI shoots!!

[DavidRSA]

See you guys then. John I know you you are, Zach I'll try figure out which person is you!

I am going to try out my new BCM AR, and blast off the Savage MKII a bit. (See if I can get that no parallax scope to work at shorter distances.)

[MichaelV]

I'm going to try to get there in the am. Hope hope.

[johnlee]

Let us know how that AI shoots!!

Actually, my friend with that Wesley Snipes AWP just emailed me and he's In like Flynn for Angeles tomorrow.

It sounds as though there will be a lot of the CaPRC crew at Angeles tomorrow. This could be fun.

See you guys tomorrow.

[shooter65]

will try to make it.

[johnlee]

If you guys are inclined, bring a .22LR. I have one of those cheesy steel targets with five rimfire swingers on it and we can have informal competitions or plinkfests on it after the centerfire shooting. Or you guys can just practice your position shooting on it.

The biggest problem with this is getting adjoining benches. We'll see how it works out.

[hochung]

I'll be there. See you guys tomorrow.

Mike, bring your black magic AI.

[johnlee]

Mike, bring your black magic AI.

That could be fun. Just imagine:

Ho - black AE
Han - black AWP
John - green AWP
Mike - Black Accuracy International .338 Arctic Warfare Super Magnum aka "The AWSoMe"

If Ken could make it with his tan AE, that could be extra fun.

Should I bring my tan AICS 260?

[aermotor]

Are you coming to Angeles or the spot Randall? If you're coming to Angeles are you bringing the extra small steel

[AR15barrels]

I don't know if I'm going anywhere.
I'm not bringing any steel.

[aermotor]

Make it easy on yourself and show up to Angeles at 8:30 then and we'll all shoot for a bit

[Gnzrme]

So how was the shoot....Who showed up and who didn't.....

And John, no pictures....?

[johnlee]

Steven, you missed out. It was a beautiful day with no wind.

Ho took some pics.

I guess James' rifle is back in business:



I'm bummed I didn't check it out. I was too busy shooting. It's looking good too:





My friend Tony shoots his SSG:



Better view of the rifle:



Scope is a Kahles ZF96:



I dig it, but I can't believe Tony went with a Kahles. He's usually Mr. USO and all of his guns are all USO'd out. Tony is the photographer for USO. He's the one who takes the pics of the USO Calendar Girls:





That last rifle is Tony's M40A1 clone:





So Tony takes pics of pretty girls and scores scopes in exchange. Nice work if you can get it.

My friend Steve brought his FAL:



He also brought one of his Stormtrooper guns:



He loves shit like this. I'm surprised he doesn't have a Sterling, MG34, and Lewis Gun.

Randall brought his .223:



He tweaks with the scope:



Close-up of the rifle:



This thing is awesome. He's got like $10 rings on there and the weapon shoots sweet.

Some more SSG love with Jeff:



From sitting:



I shot my AWP again:



Ho shot this video:



My "usual" at Angeles is to shoot about 100 centerfire and then finish it off with some rimfire for dessert. I was shooting like shit yesterday, so I jumped to the Anschutz 1422 almost immediately:



Some sitting action:



Note the tension in my support hand. That's not good. Close-up:



You can even see the red in my fingers. I'll work on my tiger technique.

My ammo for the day:



I was shooting CCI Blazer because I was just plinking at my beater steel target:



I think the discs are about 2.5" in diameter. This is a challenging target for me from positions at 50 yards. They're almost unhittable from offhand or standing. They're very tough from kneeling. They're not so tough but not easy from sitting or slung prone.

Ho's AE:



He's getting better:



Yesterday was the maiden voyage for Han's AWP:



This rifle is blacker than black. It's blacker than Wesley Snipes in an unlit alley during a lunar eclipse:



Han doesn't handload and was shooting Gold Medal Match yesterday:



Han was kind enough to let me fire a group with his rifle and ammo. My group with Han's AWP is on the top right:



Not anything to brag about, but the AWP shot wherever the crosshair was during my flinches. You can sort of feel when a gun is accurate, even if the group size isn't dinky small. As you can see from my groups, I wasn't shooting well.

Han brought his cousin and let him shoot his HK270 all day:



I believe it was his first time shooting a gun.

DavidRSA let me play with his Savage with Bushnell 10x40. That thing is sweet. Thank you, David.

I had a good time. Thanks for a fun day at the range and Merry Christmas to all of you.

[Short Action Precision]

For some odd reason I want a USO!!

[DirtRacer151]

I guess James' rifle is back in business:

Nope... that was the old barrel. It started shooting semi decent again because i cleaned the piss out of it but was throwing some crazy fliers.

Hopefully i can hook up with Randall in the next few weekends to get it re-barreled.

Back to work now?

I see you are on the computer instead of watching over your charges.....

I am down in San Diego having fun....Looks like a good time was had by all.....

John, I knew that you had pictures.....

[Christian]

I made it to DM yesterday morning where Dave was waiting for me. Because of the rain, my Civic was not going to make it on that road, so I had to park my car on the side and Dave gave me a ride on his truck to the shooting place. After I was done shooting our 416 Barretts, I decided to shoot my last 5 rounds to the steel plate at 640 Yds. And when I went to see the plate I was surprised to see the end of the bullets intact. I F...k up my last shoot, my last shoot it's all the way down on the target. Here is the pictures.

Ha, I won my grievance so they pulled that suspension back. Take that la county!

[Gnzrme]

Good for you Ken....

[Gnzrme]

Christian....

Don't mess up Dave's steel after they just fixed it....

You almost put a hole through it......

Dave and I were a little surprised that my bullets almost put holes in that steel. I was shooting Lehigh bullets. That steel plate looks pretty good after they fixed it, but not for long ;)

Did Dave tell you the story? That thing almost destroyed my truck.

[Gnzrme]

Yeah, Bob Campbell sent me an email with some photo's and stated that one of the plate rolled down the hill and missed your door by a few inches....

Hey, thanks for putting in the extra work to make the range nice...Between the benches, the carpeting in the pistol house, the repair of the target and the other minor improvements, its looking like a nice range now....

How long is Dave going to be there. I might come up Wed or Thursday.....

[robert hode]

How does the road look going to the DM range? Can a pick up with 2WD make it?
I was thinking of going up Tues or Wednes.
I can bring some 8" & 12" steel on stands.
