shooting
Shooting is the act or process of discharging a projectile from a ranged weapon (such as a gun, bow, crossbow, slingshot, or blowpipe). Even the acts of launching flame, artillery, darts, harpoons, grenades, rockets, and guided missiles can be considered acts of shooting. When using a firearm, the act of shooting is often called firing as it involves initiating a combustion (deflagration) of chemical propellants.
Shooting can take place in a shooting range or in the field, in shooting sports, hunting or in combat. The person involved in the shooting activity is called a shooter. A skilled, accurate shooter is a marksman or sharpshooter, and a person's level of shooting proficiency is referred to as their marksmanship.
Interesting, every article I read made no mention of the person who actually did the shooting... I mean they have the suspect in custody so it would be easy to give a description..... hmmm
I wonder why?
And of course for some reason they had to mention that it was a school that Governor Insley...

Sounds like this might be another "complacency kills" example, very sad and 100% preventable.

I know dogs are borhered by dog whistles and other noises that don't bother humans. Would it be ok for dogs tonbe around while shooting suppressed or is there enough noise there that it would bother them?

Okay, I get it, long range starts at 600 yards, but anything over 300 yards is long range to me.
I had the chance to shoot Friday after work, not much wind and no chores. 7mm-08, 150 Eldx at 2790 mv, prone at 400 yards, bipod. First time in a couple of months, it was nice to get some trigger...
Cabela's branded collapsible monopod. Appears more designed towards camera or scope usage, but no doubt could be used for whatever you need to stabilize.
Asking $5. It has seen light use. Aluminum construction. Measures approx 20 1/4" collapsed and can extend to 60 3/4".
Prefer to meet in SE...
Hey guys. Been shooting in the Vancouver area for years, mostly up on Larch. However, a majority of the spots up there are beginning to be shut down. I’m taking my sister shooting for the first time here soon, and want to take her somewhere outdoors to teach her. Any general spots within an hour...
