After you get your 45 and start reloading in ernest for it you might try a 5 gallon bucket filled with sand at 100 yds at your buddies place. You'll be surprised how easy you can lob those 230 gr. pumpkins into one, just like walking in mortar rounds.Ultravox wrote:That one is cool. I've run across a few more sites that have pdf targets you can print too:

I know you have posted shooting at a friends rural property and if there is a place to shoot at long range the way to do it is to sit on the ground with your back against a tree and your knees up and using a very tight 2 handed hold with your wrists resting on your knees aim dead on center at the target. Those big slugs will throw up a lot of dirt on impact and you estimate the drop and then aim at something above the target check the amount of drop and adjust accordingly. Its a good test of the real accuracy of your reloaded ammo and a very good way to develop good trigger control and most of all fun. If I remember correctly there is about 12 feet of drop at that range with 230 gr. ball with 5 grs. of old bullseye.Ultravox wrote:Shooting a 1911 at 100 yards? Now I know you are crazy.
That would be a pretty fun challenge I think. I'll have to find 100 yards of space out there first.
I look forward to collecting milk jugs, pop bottles and the like to use for targets. Wish the gun clubs would let us use more than just paper targets.
Same at the clubs where I shoot, but I can't blame them. Glass makes a mess of the range fast, metal can be a ricochet hazard.Ultravox wrote:Wish the gun clubs would let us use more than just paper targets.
What? Why?Inquisitor wrote:We can use balloons on the black powder range where I shoot, but nowhere else.
technically, you shouldn't use objects made of glass because 1) glass doesn't biodegrade 2) glass can cause richochet and 3) broken glass can cause injury to others. unless you're helping with the cleaning duties, i'd say you have no business shooting at glass targets. plastic jugs filled with liquid should be ok but I don't know about metal targets. another way to put this into context would be, imagine if it was your personal property being used. would you want broken glass shot up on your land?Ultravox wrote:

You must be pretty old to think that "pop bottles" are still made of glass...Carl_Spackler wrote:technically, you shouldn't use objects made of glass because 1) glass doesn't biodegrade 2) glass can cause richochet and 3) broken glass can cause injury to others. unless you're helping with the cleaning duties, i'd say you have no business shooting at glass targets. plastic jugs filled with liquid should be ok but I don't know about metal targets. another way to put this into context would be, imagine if it was your personal property being used. would you want broken glass shot up on your land?Ultravox wrote:I look forward to collecting milk jugs, pop bottles and the like to use for targets.

I saw Coke in glass bottles while doing grocery shopping this afternoon.Ultravox wrote: You must be pretty old to think that "pop bottles" are still made of glass...
gotcha. I thought you were talking about wanting to shoot at glass pop bottles at the gun range.Ultravox wrote:

It's okay, I still remember buying Mountain Dew in the glass quart bottles.
I was talking about the 1 and 2 liter plastic pop bottles.
And I shoot on my buddies farm and always clean up after myself.

This is exactly the way I learned it.Ok, this is the FINAL word on this subject "Soda" is club soda, add a sweetener and it becomes a "Soft Drink", "Tonic" contains quinine, "Soda-Pop" is what northern hicks use and shorten to "Pop" which is someone's father and therefore clearly unacceptable. Colas are cola-flavored SOFT DRINKS and are in the civilized world referred to as COKE since Coca-Cola is the first, largest and most enjoyable drink ever produced. In our capitalist culture the originator gets the credit. So go Xerox some paper and put up some Sheetrock while you read this on your PC. Also, as the chart clearly indicates, the most educated and civilized parts of our country (the East and West Coasts) clearly refer to it as Coke. I grew up in south east Florida (the only civilized part of Florida as well as a bigger mixing pot than NY city or the whole of California) and we ask for Coke. What kind of coke? Hmm..I'll have a Sprite, or maybe a Pepsi (if you prefer that ilk, but you still ask for COKE first). The ONLY exception is if you want a Root Beer or and Orange Soda, in which case you ask by brand name "I would like a Sunkist." or "One A&W root beer please." This is clearly the educated way of ordering a SOFT DRINK and it will get you laid too.
co-cola

Although there was a time in my very distant and hazy past that we called coke thinking mans dristan. But like I say thats a time period thats kind of hazy to me and I might be wrong there.
