Weee put up a link for the Conn permit.

I'll come down for the plate shooting. I did it at the club a couple of years ago, it was fun. Fastest for me was 6 plates in about 8 seconds, I threw the 4th shot. That was with a stock HK USP compact. A guy using a very tricked out Les Baer had a time of like 4.3 seconds..

They are supposed to run a bunch of them up in Braintree this year, and the are putting in the mechanical targets too.

I have never read much about Conn. Gun laws as I am very rarely in Conn. but I was assuming it was much like other states. I could transport my firearms through the state as long as they were unloaded, locked, and locked in a gun box. I would not be able to carry the weapon on me, but would be able to use it at a range/ hunting/ or in competitions. Will try and look into it cause I'd defiantely like to come down there for a little bang bang session. Gonna be hard since HR has put a block on any web site with "gun" or "firearm" any where in it.

Is the plate shootin like Specialist is talking about (high speed plinkin) or is it sillouhette shooting?
That was the first "real" gun (other than bb guns) that I shot at about 6.
S&W Model 29 .357 Highway Patrolman's gun with 6 inch barrel and scope. Old man used to do a lot of sillouhette shooting. Only thing that sucks about it is having to walk way the hell down the range to stand them back up.

Went over to New England Outfitters(where the plate shooting is held lastnight) they use target loads for the shotguns which is kinda odd.. they said that there is a 12 yr old that runs circles around alot of the older guys with tricked out hardware.. It will be interesting to see how it goes.. I know i'll get my arse handed to me but it will be fun.

Did some lucky bastage go shooting on his lunch hour?

[wahlie]

hahaha yup... I made it out for an hour... that place was ok. looked at the beretta storms in .45 acp but couldn't justify plinking 8 bills for it... Wee Wee, that place seemed a little high priced for what they had plus their selection wasn't all that great... the guy knew you though

[fishweewee]

That guy = Grrrrrr.

I told you that place was expensive ... it's the Gold Coast you know.

ok so after some research I settled on this baby for plate shooting and plinking.... got a good deal on her too.. there was a 200 dollar difference between scott moss and newington gun exchange... got the .40. gonna try her out tonight... for the first time someone has come out with a gun that is truly ambitexorous out of the box.
