notownkid Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) I started with a DCM M-14 but it wasn't completive at 600 so found a M-70 in 308 which I had rebuilt with new barrel and a Jimmy Cloward stock out of Oregon & new trigger. I shot a couple times at Quantico in the mid 70's. I had been stationed at Frt. Belvoir VA in the 60s and had shot there once on an Army team. Shot at Camp Perry 8 yrs in 70's.and all over New England and NY state. I shot 26 yrs twice a week for 4 months in the winter on a small bore team, then went outdoors highpower for 3 months and then Trap shooting for 3 months. I was either shooting, practicing or reloading or traveling and you are right burned out but then my son started shooting for a few yrs and I kept going. I made master but not high I didn't care by then. Enjoyed 1000 yrd mostly at the end. I shoot mostly handguns now and still hunt in the fall with a 25/08 custom. We recently discovered after all the shooting and matches we never took pictures real sorry about that. My friends I traveled with were on the Palma Team for many years and our gunsmith was the Palma coach. Nice set of horns.

DSW Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Small world. Lived in Fort Hunt Va just down the road from Ft Belvoir in 75-80 when dad was stationed in Crystal city and again in 86-87 when we moved back. High school small bore team shot at the base. I went once to watch and got a bit intimidated by all the gear involved. Wish I'd gone ahead and shot back then.Some where I used to have a pict from out at Camp Perry. Most of us all shot .308, but one guy shot 30-06 with his M1 Garand. He had to draw a DCM M14 for the team matches so we would all use the same ammo. Amazingly the two rifles were both Springfield Armory and had matching serial numbers! One an M1 grand, and one an M14. We joked he should turn in the Garand because they'd probably think someone simply checked the wrong box since armory and serial numbers matched.Maybe we need a good shooting thread in Everything Else... I bet there are a ton here who shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notownkid Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 That sounds good there are a number of people who shoot on IFI I've chatted with and a lot more I haven't I'm sure. Been waiting for Glen to get us back on anvils here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I've met few anvils that have even riled me; much less provoked me into shooting at them! I'd be afeared of ricochets too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
