Also ordered this shooting bag for obstacles and awkward positions. It's from Black Branch shooting sports and it's really nice for the price and has way more grippy surface than it's competitors. The customer service from Black Branch was excellent!

I have an upcoming 2-day long range class that I'll need this bag for.

I have been debating the shooting bag on the rail from Area 419.

Yeah I looked at that one for awhile. It was just more $$$ than I wanted to spend at the time. I got this bag for $99 shipped.

I got to shoot an "Apple Cannon" over the weekend. Basically a machine that you stick apples into and it uses pressurized air to launch them.

The dude running it said it was using air at 60psi. They had metal targets in the woods that you could aim at. It was at a farm and I guess they give you the apples that they cannot sell to shoot.

FREAKING AWESOME!!!

Sounds like a fun way to dispose of bad apples.

So like a potato gun but with apples? Sounds like something every guy needs.


Like this one?

 

[CowboyTaco]

Exactly like that.

Took a vehicle self defense class this past weekend with a buddy and Metal Miller in Shreveport. Basically they compressed a 40hr class into 16 hours (we worked through lunch). The instructors were all former Rangers (one was Kris Tanto Paranto from Benghazi). It was a fantastic class and I learned that you are basically fucked if you get caught in a vehicle by yourself. You're a little less fucked if you have a buddy or three other guys, but not by much.
We did airsoft simulation for the second day and I was OpFor for a lot of it. I was the sacrificial jihadi while the other Ranger drew the guys out of the vehicle where he wanted them
This is my left arm and my chest is also popcorned pretty bad as well. I learned a ton and need to take more classes like this.

Did you yell "MEDIC"?

Nope.

But I was ambushing one guy who ran after me. I was waiting for him to come around the corner of a shipping container and when he did, both of us pulled the trigger and both airsoft guns failed at the same time! He started to grab another magazine and reload and I was like "whoa, whoa, whoa! I give up, don't shoot me point blank"

LOL.. running was involved... I'd die of natural causes.

My son had a bunch of air soft guns when he was younger. They must shoot a lot harder now-a-days.

LOL nobody went for the kabar kill?

Yeah like 200-300fps is what I think they said IIRC

Nah in these scenarios the person in the car with the pistol is "invincible" and doesn't go down when you shoot them. They are supposed to fight through the scenario no matter what happens.

 

[tx_shooter]

Huge adrenaline dump causes a rush and mistakes happen. Thankfully they happen in training so hopefully they do not happen with live ammo.

Exactly. By playing the OpFor I was able to overcome that initial adrenaline dump which helped me later when I was in the vehicle.

But ambushing someone is way better than getting ambushed

Fucking ATF is trying to reclassify pistol braces AGAIN. Fuckers...
