So , what kind of shooter are you?

[David LaPell]

Lets see,

I prefer to shoot handguns, and out of those revolvers. I compete in blackpowder matches, and all of those are traditional.

Recreational shooter. The Chattanooga Rifle Club is just across the street, so I'll usually visit 3 or 4 days a week, sometimes twice during the day. Lots of friends and acquaintances at the Club... sometimes we shoot more bull than bullets.

I like shooting most all guns, but at least 50% of the time I'm shooting 22lr, and I really like shooting suppressed. I prefer shooting soda cans more than paper.

Blue jeans & T-shirt for riding the bike (I'm a fair-weather rider) and at the range. Boots and gloves for the bike, tennis shoes for the range.

I'm the Sunday morning RSO at our pistol club and am mostly a handgun shooter. Probably 75 / 25 in favor of semi-automatics. I do love older S&W blued revolvers, have a small colection of them and shoot them occasionally. I do not own any polymar framed handguns of any type, and probably never will. I generally shoot .45ACP or .40S&W and occasionally 9mm. Several of my semi's have .22 conversion units, which are nice money savers. Also have a few .22 rifles I enjoy taking to the range once in a while.

My dress at the range is casual but not to casual. No tactical gear to speak of. I enjoy shooting 5 rounds and have a look at what I hope I hit. I have tried a few defensive drills but this is limited by our clubs range rules. I generally go through 100 centerfire rounds per range visit. I can only afford this because I reload all the centerfire I shoot.

My ride is a 2006 H-D Softail Deluxe. Low key comfortable / defensive dress. Ride with 5-6 like minded friends on Tuesday evenings for a supper run up to 120 miles round trip. Most of the riding is county and local back roads. We're generally home by 9:30.

I dress what I think is a safe casual. PPE, long sleeves, pants, hiking footwear style boots, and a hat if I'm in the sun. I don't waste ammo. I'm more serious about trying to hit the target than spray in its general direction. I even see just how accurate I can be with a knock off AK (Rom. SAR-1) as I can get at a hundred yards and farther. I have never been good at holding still and timing my trigger pull. I can't stand up and fire a rifle very well still. Like anything else I would be better if I practiced more but that costs. So next up is learning to reload for rifle so I don't have the cost excuse holding me back… I used to be all about blued steel. Now that I'm tired of fighting rust issues, I have noticed the stainless collection has grown and is still growing while I'm thinking of selling off some of the blued steel and walnut. But I'm holding onto at least one of my 29's until I find a 629 that doesn't have that dang new rifling that keeps causing leading with my cast bullets. I'm either going to figure that out or die someday of old age still trying.

I'm a CSM GSM Master Instructor and have really gotten into Vintage Military Rifle shooting. My shooting style is base on the CMP games, a bit of rapid fire from prone & sitting positions, slow fire both prone and off hand.

I shoot in what ever clothing I'm wearing at the time.

I also do a lot of action pistol type shooting, there is a near by club that has a match every other week. I shoot mostly in my back yard but like the comrodity of other shooters at such matches.

I like High Power but there isn't many matches with in resonable distances.

I like the older steel guns, Blued Rifles with Wook Stocks. I like the older K & N Frames, I could never rap myself around the looks of the full underlug L frames.

 

[feralmerril]

Revolvers, followed by rifles not too much into shotguns. I am not competitive. A lot of guns have passed through my hands. I dont like to be around other people when I shoot. I dress comfortable, shoot by myself, test out a new gun slowly, sight them in and just carry them along in the boonies after that.
Many years ago I liked to shoot black powder, just dont do it anymore. When I was working I had to requalify regularly. I always was the first one done on every phase. On top of that, I usualy didnt start shooting untill after the guys around me opened up. Last to start on command, 1st to finish.
I own a good collapsable table, heavy target stand and everything else I need. We have a nice free range out of town and being retired I can pick my time to go out there when it`s empty or close to it. Only a couple times in my life have I paid to shoot. (Except for haveing to do my requalifys).
I dont now so much, but I used to experiment with my reloads. When I started out as a boy my dad shot with me a lot. He was good with any type gun, there was a local village dump at a old quarry and dad would throw cans and bottels for me. Yes, glass bottels. Of course the pieces landed in the other trash that was dozzed and covered.
