Frostbite Shoot - Jan 27th, 2008 After Action Report!!

[BlindViper]

We're lucky that Jeepdriver and Norton forgot about the FAL brass throwing contest......

coach didn't get to much action either but the garand did 380 rounds

 

[JeepDriver]

I got 5 benches away this time.

One piece of Brass aint nothing,

When you can stack brass up 35ft away reliably then you're doing something.

You know, like the PTR91 does

 

[novus collectus]

YOu guys were able to get distance? Heck, mine didn't get too far because they kept hitting the rafters and bouncing back.


Seriously, we really should have a test to see which rifle, carbine, pistol, or revolver throws the brass the farthest. It would be interesting to say the least and I bet no one on any other message board will have done a test like this with such a large selection of guns.

My WASR-10 and CZ-52 would be in the running.

If we are talking forward throw then it would be the Russian SKS.

I'll have to get a friend of mine to bring his HK23E then. I've never seen a gun throw brass so far!

I don't know what I'm more scared of, the bullet or the brass! Flies 50ft and all lands at 2 O'Clock.

Hey All,

I was the guy that came with Ed and Laura, I had a blast on Sunday-

It was great to meet a bunch of you guys-

And great to see everyone having such a fun AND safe time.

Will definitely do it again.

Marc

Welcome Marc.

I was the guy to your left with the M1A, BM 59, and Galil. Thanks for digging out that AK sight tool. Even though it wasn't exactly the tool for the job, the fact that you took time to look for it and offer some assistance just shows the kind of good people we have at these events.

Hey Marc Welcome. Thanks for the hot brass down the shirt! I was the guy you sprayed shells at to your right.

Sorry 'bout that..... you shoulda seen my wife dance around the time she wore a low-cut shirt while we were shooting pistols..... landed a piece of hot .45 brass right between 'em.

You're welcome, happy to help.... too bad my ChiCom AK tool didn't fit the Galil.... the AK I would have just taken a pair of needle-nosed pliers to... but that Galil probably deserves a bit more respect than that!

JeepDriver and I tried this at the October shoot and my FAL let me down miserably with that crap Argentine ammo.

I never got your screen name at the shoot, thanks for letting me try the M-1a. That was a blast.

Hey Marc, glad to see you made it over to the board!

 

[gtodave]

Only 5 benches? My CZ-52 throws brass across at least 8 benches!

That was you? I was standing near the far table under the canopy (closest to the road), and you were out in the open pistol area, and I was catching your brass ABOVE my head! That thing sure does have some range

 

[XCRmonger]

The XCR's were a huge hit.

What are the chances of getting one donated to auction off as a fundraiser next shoot?

Don't know if it would be a possibility. Drop Alex a line and ask him... zdf@robarm.com. He would be one to ask.

 

[Spot77]

Hmmm...I was only half kidding, but if you think it might be a possibility.....

I'm sure you'll put a good word in for us, right?

 

[XCRmonger]

Will schmoooze for shoes.

I made the mistake of shooting mine at Hap Baker in the farthest right lane. They were flying off the wall and beaning me in the face and on top of my head. It's definately a good shell spitter

 

[SamW]

Outstanding! Looks like you all had a fantastic time. Great assortment of weapons there to shoot. Maybe I'll make it down that way some day.

 

[bmdmc]

I don't know, but given what was stamped on the front of that PS90 ("Property of...") the owner might be a little upset if a picture was posted online.

Totally fake, just some bling.

 

[bmdmc]

Just swap his earpiece with my truck, and I think that is probably what happened...

Did anything happen to your truck? I still want to shoot steel with the BMG, maybe I need to reach out a little farther. And next time 1 inch plate and I beams. But I need a bench where I can reach out...
