Jesus, guys. Am I the only guy on HLP that actually does shoot regularly and competitively? I participate in monthly IPSC action pistol matches using a Browning Hi-Power. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browning_Hi-Power A better one than in that wiki picture, too. I used to participate in M1 Garand rifle matches 3 times a year until one of the guys who was running the thing rigged it so he would win the participation prize that they give out at the yearly Christmas banquet. I shoot rifles for my own satisfaction, as well(personally I only own a beat up old Mauser, but more often I use my father's firearms). I'm also known to participate in the occasional trap and skeet competitions; never anything terribly organized, though.

I do.

I don't shoot competitively, but I do shoot regularly.  About every weekend.  Trap shooting.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Already said I shoot regularly. But I don't shoot competitively and I haven't fired against a competitive target in years, because that's not why I have or own a gun. I don't expect to be attacked at home by a black spot.

Usually once a weekend. Occasionally more frequently if I feel the desire. I would shoot rifle and bow more if I could find a suitable place to do so.

I don't expect to get attacked by brown paper silhouettes, either. The pistol competitions I take part in help with target acquisition. (Also, if I expected to get attacked in my home, you bet your ass I wouldn't be posting on the Internet right now.)

My 10 meter air pistol arrived, if anyone cares about its performance, PM me.

As for combat shooting, that's all I actually do, if you had read the original post you might have noitced I was looking for Olympic (non combat) shooting feedback ;)

I have considered IPSC type things, but that's a lot of travel. I can participate in bullseye locally. IPSC type things are hampered in MA with a lot of the laws related to ranges.

Oh man. MA? You have my sympathies. NC is a lot better with their gun laws; you should come down here sometime.

I like it here ;) See "Nation of Cowards" for my thoughts on the gun laws ;)

Pistol is nice, a lot of bells and whistles. Little set screws to adjust virtually everything.

This will take some getting used to...
