    Default Why go to the shooting range when

    You can just set your room up to be one. Seriously people, it did not take very long to set up. I underestimated the bullets penetration at first so I have some holes in things I didnt want to ruin but I fixed it so it would not happen again. The noise level is tolerable, and I dont have to pay for range time, ears or eye protection. Completely free, minus the ammo. Its a very short range but its still fun.

    We'll go out to some land if we can find it. But this is quite fun for bordom. But even this gets borring, unless you have things to setup to shoot. But animals and such would be 10x better.

    there is a 100yrd range that is only $25 dollars for an entire day...the only catch is that you have to buy your ammo there...

    Nice looking rifle though...

    Yeah ranges are quite borring though. I went there to sight in the rifle, but other then that, it hits where you aim it so shooting paper gets borring fast. Thats why I shoot animals because they do something different each time you hit one. Plus you can pretend your playing CS with headshots only or you can do body shots and watch them squirm before a head shot or more body shots. Its great. But this in house shooting is pretty fun if you have nothing better to do or if its raining outside.

    Probably a one shot rabbit kill 100yards away. I spent about $800 total for it since I wanted something very accurate to shoot in the back yard. The time I sighted it in at the range I was hitting .25" groups at 50yards with basic remington subsonic ammo. I could get better ammo but I really dont need to be more accurate for shooting rabbits and such, and I want to keep using the subsonic rounds for there noise level (back yard). Now those CB caps are as worthless as a legless horse. At 50yards the groups look like it came from a shotgun lol.

    Mice will run around. What I want to do is tie helium balloons to them set them out in the field to eat grass and have fun. Then when its time to go, we would not come home with any guinea pigs.

    Yeah they had one in .17. I was about to get it but then I found out they dont make subsonic rounds for it. Its like a miniture ak round but it fires at almost 3k fps. That was one of the main decisions I had to make when buying mine.
