Yeah I looked on the ground and there were a few .22 casings. I imagine that the recoil on a .22 is pretty darn negligible and lining up the shots would be easy, but as you can see sometimes the 9mm doesn't take down the targets if they're hit too close to the hinge, whereas the .40 has more power behind it, so I'd guess that with a .22 the round would frequently fail to push down the target.Originally posted by: Yossarian
wow Mill is a bad shot 😉 you can see the difference between the .40 and the 9mm, watch the recoil and you can clearly see how much more difficult it is for Mr. Skoorb to line up for the next shot.
I imagine that that would definitely help 🙂About shooting with a different eye -- it won't matter much because I'm blind in both eyes. I'm about -8.50 in both eyes, and I need to go get my prescription updated because I can't see sh!t these days.

Well, I'm not normally that bad of a shot, however, that day I was beyond terrible. I'm embarrassed in fact. The first time I ever shot was with PAB down in Florida, and I was actually shooting pretty much like Skoorb. My stance in those shots was beyond sickening, and my shooting showed that.

The metal plates that you aim for are leaning slightly down and the angles just don't encourage a bullet to launch backwards. In terms of if you hit the base they're on I noticed that the base is at a 45 degree angle. This is why you'll notice some shots if we miss and it's not to the side the bullet appears to hit wildly up or wildly down, because the base for the plate targets angles the bullet up or down instead of back at the shooter.Originally posted by: gistech1978
ive never fired a gun or been to a range...
so what stops the bullets from richocheting if you hit the base the targets are on?
or on the metal targets themselves?

Yeah I thought the same but if you look closely you'll see that the gun is simply not pointed down to the amount it would have to be to hit the dirt that low 😉Originally posted by: gistech1978

It's too bad you guys don't live up here...I'd show you how a PROFESSIONAL shoots. 😉
