Longitude Zero Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 My son and I just got back form our local indoor range. On the rifle range this morning were 9 22LR shooters. My son and I had our S&W 15-22. 2 Henrys, 3 Marlins's and a pair of Sigs. It was really strange that only 22's were on the range this morning.
Microgunner Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 All 22s makes for a great shooting day. No BIG BOOMS.
imschur Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 Thats cool. .22 is the most popular caliber in the country. It's just taken a long time for most manufacturers to grasp this
Longitude Zero Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Posted April 9, 2011 What is really slick is that you get tired of shooting BEFORE you run out of ammo.
rodent.22 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 I haven't fired my .223 mini in 2 years- the .22's are cheap and fun to fire... :beer:
lmao_37 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 I like the big boom of my mosin as it out booms the guys with the REAL hunting rifles and i keep getting asked during the cease fires ''what the hell is that thing'' :grin:
George Wood Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 Fun for all. I am new to the 22 world but I sure do like them and I can even get my wife to shoot.
asmurff Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 My wife is having hip replacement surgery the 25th of April afterwards hopefully she'll be able to join me in the .22 shooting and do more shooting in general.

asmurff Posted April 15, 2011 Report Posted April 15, 2011 She isn't a member of Tactical .22, and doesn't do much in the way of forums. She is a shooter though and has a XD .45 Springfield in the compact size. However because of how hard and uneven the ground is at our gun club she hasn't been able to go much as it ended up causing pain. So after the hip surgery she should be go to go with our Tactical Rimfire, but I think 3-gun will still be out :o
bdavison Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 I was at a range in Arizona one time....the guys got to talking about biggest boom from their guns. Some guy had a .4xx something or other that was a thundergun. Firing it would knock paint chips off the metal roof awning.A few minutes later we heard this voice yell out...NO, THIS IS THE BIGGEST BOOM...And then the earth shook and dust was kicking up from the berms 100yds out, the metal roof was dumping paint chips, and two florescent lights came crashing down, with this insanely loud deep BOOOOOOM.We all look around trying to figure out what the heck it was. The range owner had a cannon on the other side of the berm. 1lb of powder charge and he won.
