OK, so I'm a lousy shot.

[rubiranch]

I shot my 1964 M-29-2 for the very first time today.
Its a beautiful S&W.



Here's the range I shoot at. Its here in the park about a mile from my front door.
The gates always locked so there's never anyone here.
The targets are just over 50'.



My friend loaded these for me some time back. Just 48 rounds.




Poor little girl took the first round.



The second round took off his trigger finger and the third round took out his two front teeth.


I put 47 holes in two targets.
One round mysteriously didn't puncture the paper.

Now to find more .44 Magnum ammo AND, I have a gun to clean.

Looks like a good day. For you, not so much the terrorist and girl

Obviously evidence of a tear in the space-time continuum. Better be careful next time you put up targets, never know when that round will emerge from the wormhole.

Seriously, two rounds have been known to go through the same hole. I just think that my explanation is more original, so I am sticking with it...

 

[rubiranch]

Seriously, two rounds have been known to go through the same hole.

Yep, that's what must have happened.

 

[PatriotX]

Look at it a different way - If that target was a big bullseye, the first shot would have been a 9-ring!


Take the girl's cheek graze out of it, looks like a decent center of mass shot.

The often overlooked reason for stray bullets is solar flares and lunar gravity. If the moon can raise an ocean tide 10-30 feet every 12hrs. Your 200gr bullets don't stand a chance.

What kind of trees are those in the background?

What kind of trees are those in the background?

With his shooting prowess they are 'lead filled' trees.

That they are. They are going to die from lead poisoning.

Junipers with some pinion pine mixed in.

 

[rubiranch]

One always seems to go awry.

Here's the first six rounds I fired with my M-58.

 

[bdGreen]

Ha.
Death to the junipers.

Spare the pinion pine.

bdGreen

 

[6518John]

It looks like the terrorist is wearing a doily around his neck.

 

[rubiranch]

Ha.
Death to the junipers.

Spare the pinion pine.

bdGreen

Amen on that one.

 

[rubiranch]

It looks like the terrorist is wearing a doily around his neck.

LOL Never saw that.

 

[mk70ss]

The girl was a conspirator.......LOL

 

[Narragansett]

On a positive note, seeing as how you were using a 44 mag, you killed them both with the first shot

Now comes a 5 hour wax job

 

[40_CALIBER]

well, hopefully you are never shooting at a terrorist and hostage at 50 feet.


next time get closer.. it doesnt seem like he was quick enough to shoot back anyway

Good point and yes, it needs a good cleaning.

 

[S&W Kid]

I don't think she was a hostage, I think she's a co-conspirator. She doesn't look frightened at all. You did the right thing and took them both out of the equation. Excellent marksmanship !
