... Now if I could just find a deer wearing a paper plate during hunting season!
Sycamore Our off-season practice should definitely consist of shooting actual deer. And some people figure being able to hit a paper plate at 100yrds is good enough.... Sounds like you're one of em..... what by definition is good enough?

The following is not a fish story. "Hey! this Colt SAA won't shoot at all." Looked and it's no wonder that .357 barrel attached to a .45LC cylinder wouldn't group.Yes the barrel was marked .45Lc.
Bangflop! another skinning job due to .260 and proper shot placement.

GG, Have taken a lot of beginners and especially foreigners shooting for the first time. I ALWAYS teach that a gun is ALWAYS loaded. Even if you just looked in the chamber and nothing there. Therefore, you never pointed it at anything you do not want to shoot. Semantics yes, but it gets the point across to beginners very well.

I almost always use paper plates as targets at the range since setting up moving Deer targets is frowned on.
Cheaper that commercial paper and is as good or better since hits are easier to see.
Ain't got a damn thing to do with shooting Deer.

Was at the mall with the wife and went into an athletic store that also carries guns/ammo and saw they had 50rd boxes of 22lr. I asked the dude behind the counter if they had full bricks for sale and he gave me the 'I don't have time for this [bleep]' look but did go back and brought me out the two that I asked for. I finished shopping and went up to the counter to pay. There was a young lady in here tight yoga shorts at the register (bonus), and when she rang up the ammo, it rang up as a single box and not brick price. I explained to her that the price was incorrect and she gave me the 'I don't have time for this [bleep]' look. I tried to explain, but it wasn't registering so I told her to get her manager. The manager came up and yep, same look. The manager finally said, 'Sir, that is the price, do you want them or not'? I thought for a minute and did the only thing I could think of....asked her "how many do you have and do I need two carts or three?" Did the same thing with primers at one here. $3.99 per 100 so I grabbed a whole brick of 1000 and got rung up for $3.99. Told the little counter worker girl it was wrong, "nope, it says it right there." Ok, hold on while I drag the entire primer case over here....... Have a buddy went to a similar store to buy primers. Took a brick of Federal 215s to the counter (about $1.79/100 back then) and the young HS girl there rang them up and said that will be $1.93 . . . friend asked if she was sure . . . she made a smarty pants reply of "Well I scanned them didn't I?". He gave her $2, told her to keep the change and walked out. I hear of this now and then but I won't do it. Her mistake true...but not her store. I would have corrected her mistake. Did everything I could (with exception of walking out) to include getting the manager involved. I ended up donating the majority (20,000 +)to 4H groups including some as far away as South Dakota back in 2012-14 and shipped on my dime. May of not of been the right thing to do, but I like to think it helped promote a good cause.

Trust me if you are in the business you learn quickly to clear every weapon you touch, every time you touch it. Period.

Ray I wont argue this point with you out of respect Ray, but we're doing the same exact thing. I never pick up a gun without checking it to see if it's unloaded-either mine, or any weapon handed to me with a closed action.

Was quite impressed once by a kid in gun store whose criteria for handgun cartridge/bullet selection was based how many people one could line up and perforate with a single round. Scary. Never bothered to ask about his data source.

Had another one, a guy I knew, and knew to be somewhat of a tool. Handed his .25-06 over the counter to me. Force of habit, I cleared it. It was loaded. I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him halfway over the counter and whispered in his ear" Tod, I should shove this up your ass and unload it..."

Trust me if you are in the business you learn quickly to clear every weapon you touch, every time you touch it. Period. I know a guy who got too busy or distracted or whatever and forgot to clear a pistol he took in on a trade. He put a 9mm bullet through his left index finger. Luckily, the bullet went through instead of taking off the finger. The only other casualty was the credit card machine.

Anyone one buying any thing should know precisely what they are buying and what it is worth. If not, they deserve to be hosed. Well yeah, if the seller has no character. Reminds me of a guy I knew who was always so proud of himself when he buys a $5000 shotgun or rifle from a recent widow for $300.
