I practice shooting from my driveway into my garage at a target everyday.

General Discussion / Costco ammo cans
« on: August 13, 2023, 02:42:19 PM »
Wasn’t sure what thread this would have been good in, but bought these at Costco for $25.  Pack of 4.  About the size of 30cal cans.  Not sure how good they are gonna be, but at that price, decided to try em out.

General Discussion / Re: New PTA form at hpd
« on: July 03, 2023, 08:22:51 PM »
I got there around 1145, went inside and grabbed the forms and went outside in line and filled em out.  By the time I got in, the lady said there’s a new form.  Me and another braddah was like, “We just got these from the tray…”.  She said they just changed it!  😂  “There’s 8 pages now.”

So I had to redo the initials section, and she just restarted the front page.  What a fiasco…

General Discussion / Re: Strange range behavior
« on: May 15, 2023, 08:51:33 AM »
Went to range today with son. Had a guy with a strong accent come and start telling us if we could shoot 1 handed. He kept telling me that me and my son should shoot 1 handed. He was there with 2 other guys. Kept asking me if that was a 357. He then proceeded to ask me if he could shoot it with his own ammo. I decided to leave.
He then asked if he could  hold it. Not wanting to be rude I agreed. I don’t know why he kept pushing my son should try 1 handed. Seems like he wanted to prove something. If he reloads then why would he need to shoot someone else’s gun. The revolver is a common ruger. Weird.

Learned the hard way a long time ago, not to trust reloads from a stranger.  Other people can reload for you but you should know their practices and methods before you fire off one of their rounds at all, let alone in your own gun.  I mean, factory ammo is essentially ammo reloaded by a stranger, but that stranger is sort of vetted through millions of people shooting their ammo.  This dude, no one knows…. And a stranger coming up to you asking if they can shoot your gun is just awkward.  You asking if they would like to try is different than someone pushing the issue.

I reached out to them but said that their tig is out of commission. Anyone have experience with Red Letter Industries

I have used Red Letter many times for pin and weld.  Excellent work...

If you know how much ammo you have, you don't have enough.
My rule is a thousand rounds per gun minimum.

If you know you have 1000 rounds per gun, you roughly know how much ammo you have...
Through your own standard, you don't have enough ammo...

« on: April 16, 2023, 01:06:26 AM »
Nothing. I’m over it. It’s going to be a shit show just like permits were.
I agree--I'll probably wait a while two see how everything pans out.

I'm hoping that more people feel this way...

However when we get to sound intensity, or what the difference in energy really is, it's around 25 times.  25 times the damage your ears are receiving with a brake compared to no brake.  This is why it's important to keep distance between shooters or use double hearing protection.

If the options are space between shooters or someone wearing double hearing protection, then it’ll have to be the latter.

You can shoot whatever legal firearm with whatever legal firearm accessories or attachments.  It’s a gun range.  Guns are loud.  If someone is going to a gun range expecting it not to be loud, they’re in for a rude awakening.  You can be considerate and try to keep a bench between you and the next guy, but if someone sits at that bench, by no means does that mean you need to case that firearm because it’ll be too loud.  Nor does it mean you can’t take an empty bench because there’ll be someone next to you.  Just kindly let them know that your guns boom is pretty nuts.  And blast away!  Personally, I don’t have brakes on my rifles, but I’ll be damned if someone is gonna Karen me out of enjoying my range day.  At Schofield some dudes was blasting 50BMG, and that cannon was compressing my chest from like 30 feet away!  I was in awe.  But if someone said to the OIC, “Excuse me, but that gentleman’s rifle is a little too loud for my liking.  He needs to shoot something else less bothersome…”, that guy can go pound sand…

Worst thing I seen happen at the range was when my friend shot out the chain on my steel target as soon as the line went hot… that was the longest 30 mins ever…

Firearms and Accessories / Re: Magpul adjustable foam for cases
« on: January 09, 2023, 04:23:28 PM »
Just saw this video on my YouTube feed.  Pretty awesome, and I have V800.  All my hard cases have the cut foam, so only for one rifle.  Its nice to be able to use the case for more than one gun.  Think I’m gonna try one out…

And obviously this person seemed like a "Karen".  Definitely anti-gun.  Started ranting about how Hawaii will change forever and that every person with a gun is a murderous, blood thirsty, mass shooter.

And I've stated here before that I am a "below the radar" type of guy.  I believe that when it comes to firearms, the less people know about me the better.  I believe no one needs to know I'm packing heat if or when I decide to apply for a license and do so.

Anyway I said nothing.  Corrected her a couple of times about the subject when it was obvious she got the information wrong about CCW rules and regulations as set forth by the Chief.  But otherwise tried to remain as neutral as possible.  Everyone is entitled to their opinions. 

I did tell her I believe in the Constitution of the United States and left it at that.  After a while the conversation drifted to something else.  I think she sensed I didn't agree with her when I stated about the constitution.

This was an in-law by the way.  So not a stranger but "family".  Even in my family, only my immediate family knows about my firearms ownership.  And they vowed to respect my request about my firearm ownership anonymity.

How would you guys handle this kind of situation?

I never try to debate opinions.  In other words, I never try to change a persons mind or opinion using my own opinions.  I like to stick to factual statements, like hard statistics.  And I leave it at that.  We usually agree to disagree.  Now football, on the other hand, is a subject that I get very heated over…. Another place and time tho…

« on: December 29, 2022, 03:48:27 PM »
Last couple times I was in SEC, it was pretty busy.  I hope they're doing good.  Give most my business to them because they are awesome to their customers and have super competitive  prices on their firearms.  Not saying that the other LGSs aren't great, but these dudes are hard to beat...

Firearms and Accessories / Re: What's a good hard rifle case?
« on: December 24, 2022, 06:29:22 AM »
I was looking at the pelican or Eylar.

I have both.  Used the Eylar 48 Double rifle case last time to Lanai, and the case itself was solid.  Just as good as the Pelican I usually use.  The downside is the pick and pluck foam.  It breaks apart easily.  Another dude with us had the same case, but switched the foam out with a more rigid cut-out type and that made it exactly like the pelican.  Said it cost about $40 for the replacement foam on Amazon.  They have different thicknesses available to match your case.  Had to do some fitment but it was solid.  That’s the way to go if you ask me for a fraction of the price…
