nice!
I need to grab a few more of those. They're far more convenient than using the cable locks.

I thanked him for coming back and telling us where he's been since he started the thread - I wondered where the OP was after starting an epic thread.

I ordered a Burris Timberline 4.4-14 x 32mm for my sons' Scout. I decided that Dad better 'test it out' first, you know, to make sure it works. So I mounted it on my CZ 452 UltraLux and it just fit behind my rear sight using Burris Signature medium rings.   | |

You sure love those tack drivers.
Nice wood on that CZ. The great thing about the rimfires is that you can plink all day without breaking the bank. Unlike my 5.56 rifles now. A filled pistol mag is costing me about $4.50 now, and that kind of hurts. But it's so much fun to shoot with the iron sights.  Quote:

It's too bad that he is giving up. I haven't had the time to shoot for the last two weeks, and I'm missing it. Like any hobby, it's what you do when time permits.

So I am interested in doing IDPA with my new pistol as I would like to do something more than just static range shooting. Is there a good way to start other than just showing up at a match and participating?
I noticed that Silvercore has handgun courses - Level 1, 2, and 3. Level 1 seems to be introductory and more about general shooting at a range, whereas Level 2 seems to be tactical (?) shooting basics. Has anyone taken them, and are they worth it? It seems like I will have to take the Silvercore Level 1 course before I can apply for the Level 2 course, and they're fairly pricey.

I am saying that I am not as interested as I was before. It's not at it's peak like it was a few years ago. This doesn't motivate me to spend more money, drive further, or participate in shooting as much.
I did not say this to demoralize or demotivate others who have a deep passion for this. I just wanted to offer my 2 cents on a topic that I've had a lot of interest in.

Managed to sneak out to the range today for an hour(ish) to try and zero that Burris on my CZ. The RCMP had the rifle range rented so I could only shoot the 25 yard .22 range.
The scope is probably a little too far back and creates a tight scope pocket or eye relief (whatever you call it), but the glass is impressively clear, making two eyes open scope shooting possible without issue (providing you found the eye relief first). Aquila was my rifle's preferred diet today - it was shooting better than CCI SV in the wind. Target grid is 1" squares. Shot using a front rest and shouldered.

That said, some of the guys shooting there are pretty easy going and have some great hardware. A couple of tactical officers were in Abbotsford last year shooting a suppressed AR, and a suppressed 338. Suppressors are about as cool as you can imagine, blowing off 5.56 rounds that sounded like a subsonic .22  | |

Key word: try.

So this finally came in. So excited! I'm still waiting for my ATT to show up so I can bring it to the range.

Nice looking Glock.

The tactical guys were nuts though. Typical attitude and ego from a cop carrying a suppressed AR, but these guys were really good. I think the further you get away from the beat cops, the more shooting skill and commitment you're going to see.
I still don't like hanging out with cops though. Nice folks, but I have too many skeletons in my closet to get close to the law.  Quote:

Glocks shoot so well. You're going to have some fun with it.

And thanks Zed I'm really excited about it. Quote:

Just got back from trap shoot night at the Pemberton range. My shoulder is sore... Put two boxes through my shotgun.

If Glocks shoot so well why do people always swap the barrel  | |

Shotguns are all about fit - and recoil can be managed either with weight or some kind of semi-automatic action. Trap is a lot of fun - I wish I could get out to it more often but I have Dad duty on the weekends, when our range does their trap shoots.

It was a lot of fun - this was my first shoot at a proper trap range, and I'm getting more used to leading the clay during my 2nd round. The shotgun (Win SXP Trap) functioned flawlessly except when I forgot to fully chamber the round, didn't use enough oomph. 
I think I need to pull the shotgun more into my shoulder too, I may have had some rounds where I didn't assume the proper firing stance/position.
It's every Tuesday night so I'm definitely going again next week! Right now my hands smell like Hoppes 9. How often do you guys clean your shotguns/how many shells before cleaning?

You have to pull in that shotgun before every shot - you leave any slack in there and it just takes that one shot to punch your shoulder hard enough to give you pain; I think we have all made that mistake.
With my shotguns, when things don't cycle or work well, then I clean them. Some have gone years without cleaning. Hell, I just picked one up from the 70's that I don't think was ever cleaned; it was still firing but not ejecting without a fight!

I love shooting my 870, but with a heavy load it will tenderize the shoulder after a while. That's why I don't shoot my 45-70 very often. That, and the fact it's now $3.25/round. ouch! Quote:

hahaha, really though I was impressed with how easy a Glock is to shoot well, right out of the box. You need to talk me into one of those. Quote:

I think leaving a gun in a safe in the basement is far more dangerous than not cleaning them. My poor SKS was cleaned religiously after shooting. But one winter in the unfinished basement did more damage than 1000 acidic primers every could.

I think several members here are members of the Squamish range? We should do a range day or afternoon, would love to meet all of you in person!
(and see/shoot your guns!)

Sent you a PM.
Glocks are great but sold mine to get a savage 10tr and a Ruger takedown stainless.

I was looking for a Pelican case or similar to store/transport my new Glock as the original Glock case is too shallow to fit the gun with a trigger lock installed. I was on Canadian Tire's website and noticed these cases for sale!
They look like Pelican clones, seem to be constructed similarly, and come with pluck foam so you can shape it to your needs. Small Case - Pelican 1400 equivalent - $49 (reg $99) Medium Case - Pelican 1500 equivalent - $69 (reg $139) Large Case - Storm 2600 equivalent - $99 (reg $199)
