New from Tacoma

[Mia_42]

Hi. I am kind of new to guns.
I don't want to pull the whole Dunning-Kruger thing, but I was told that I shoot consistently. I guess that is good. Now, I want to learn about how the various firearms work and how to shoot them well.
I am going to attempt to upload a screen shot of some of my shooting. The last time I went shooting, I think I got the lowest score in my category. I would like to improve.

Welcome, just takes practice! Several air guns made today are close copies of popular guns and make great, cheap practice at home too. Any trigger time helps!

Hello! nice to see another from Tacoma! Nice target btw, at what distance was it 100 or 200 yards? I hope you find things you like here, it is a good place, I have lurked for months and decided I needed a place to share my thoughts with others of a similar mind set. Oh favorite hand gun, and favorite long gun?

Welcome Aboard. Glad you found the forum.

There is a YouTube video of a Japanese guy that only had trigger time with airsoft due to his country's extremely strict gun control laws, he was invited to the US to train with real steel and after the initial adjustment to recoil within the first mag, he was able to put shots on target quickly. By the end of the first day, his skills completely translate to real steel and he is out performing some of the guys that helped pay for his trip and he is almost matching the instructor. Point being any trigger time helps.

This is the best place to hang out on the internet.



Once we're able to start using the public lands again, check out the organized clean ups. It's the best way to meet the community and learn where and how to use public lands responsibly.

[Edit- We are doing non ODFW supported cleanups at public forests] - check the North Fork Wolf Creek Road thread in resources.


Until then check out Trash No Land.

I have told the story before. When I was about 10 I saved enough to buy my first air rifle. I had a .22 but of course could only use it with my Dad. I spent all my day outside with that air rifle. They had trouble getting me to come in to eat. Months later Dad took me out with my .22. I out shot him BADLY. After that I was allowed to take the .22 out on my own when I could afford ammo

Welcome to the club. What firearm were you shooting on that target?

Welcome aboard...

I will also echo the same, trigger time is critical...

 

[Mia_42]

Welcome to the club. What firearm were you shooting on that target?

6.5 Creedmore, ammo from the store

Hello! nice to see another from Tacoma! Nice target btw, at what distance was it 100 or 200 yards?

If you look closely, it says "600" on it. That means that it was shot at 600 yards.

Like I have good eyes! That is why I use a magnifying thing of ma jigy dohicky on my thunder sticks. Awesome on the target, where do you have 600 yards to shoot?

Welcome and nice shooting !

I don't know if you were shooting a bolt action, but here's a K98 for your viewing pleasure.
