Hi all, as I'm sure some of you are aware I'me over in the USA on holiday party2 :shakeshout:

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

Re: 20series in California (pt1)
I also go to shoot a M1919 .30cal wtfwtf
Now it was infairness not a full auto as they're not allowed in California but it was still a lot of fun :cheers: when I can I'll upload the bit of video we took and add it in.
We then retired to the clay range for some shotgun fun, now I've only ever been a couple of times before on a couple of corperate things but I have to admit I had a lot of fun and was doing OK.
I want to thank Rufrdr for letting me shoot some of his collection, believe me he's go a few wtfwtf and to his friends for making my day a lot of fun.
Cheers

Looks like you're having some fun over there - revolvers don't do much for me, but those Webleys look nice - just a bit jealous! :lol:

Re: 20series in California (pt1)
Well I must admit I had a lot of fun, the Webleys were nice I think my favourite was the 1911 it shot well and felt like a real pistol :goodjob: The 10mm Smith was a bit of a beast even with down loaded ammo wtfwtf ,Sandgroper wrote:Looks like you're having some fun over there - revolvers don't do much for me, but those Webleys look nice - just a bit jealous! :lol:
The rifle range was fun, we had targets at 100 yards but there's a steel gong on the hill at 400 yards, it was quite satisfying ringing it with iron sights with the AR15, M14 and Garand

Re: 20series in California (pt1)
Looks like you had a great time and it is good to hear you were plinking with a Full-Bore forum member from across the water, that is the part that impresses me most, the generosity of forum members is always something rather special.
Nice one guys tongueout

I know it's FB 'UK', but maybe we need a 'stars and stripes emoticon' (and I'm not being sarcastic for once :P )?
