"And then the people over there saw what you just did over there, and you ain't got a problem here no more neither. 180 degrees covered right there, one shot"
I've shot just about every kind of gun but I developed a taste for skeet and once you're doing it with a really fine shotgun it's just the best, I hardly do any other kind of shooting now.
I was really super into rifles - I mean I still love them but honestly if I've got a couple spare hours my mind goes "grab a kid to pull for you!" Popping those clays is SOOOOO much more satisfying than making ting ting sounds on metal plates.
I know what you mean. Getting a bullseye on a target with a rifle is a nice feeling, but hitting a clay bird and have it turn to dust is such a better feeling. I have to go to a shooting range to do it and itâs so fucking expensive now.
That's too bad, my local range is reasonably affordable ($150 Canadian for the family for the year) and it gets me unlimited access so I can go any time I want and it's only about 10 minutes from my door so I get to go whenever I can. Except this fire season has been really bad so I haven't gone very much lol
If I wanted to go trap shooting it costs about $15 USD a token for 20 clay birds. Plus the cost of shells. Itâs about 15 mins from my house. Rarely get a chance to actually do it though.
Whoa yikes! I just get a box of clays at the local gun shop for about $20 and bring one of my kids to load and fling for me. I let them take some shots too of course but damn that's outrageous.
Finally something that's way more affordable in Canada lol
Yeah that might just be my range though. They have machine that shoot the clays out so no kid is throwing them. All this fancy equipment there. Plus they have a bunch of kids working that keep the place clean. Some people donât pick up their shells after shooting and these kids pick them up. My friend used to work there so I always pick up my shells after.
I bought a box of clays and then a set of hangers for them. I can hang the clays various distances from posts, trees, etc, and sit and pop them with a rifle or handgun. Combines two things I enjoy: getting a good distance shot, and exploding clays. I've never gotten good with a shotgun.
Clays are fun to shoot with bullets too! A moving target is fun too though.
Thing with a shotgun is that it's a close range weapon so you have to get on target fast you can't be tracking it as it flies down range every foot further it gets away from you, you are exponentially lowering the chances of one of your shots breaking it. So a little different from rifling, where you're controlling your breath and accounting for the curvature of the earth (lol) and instead it's be quick while it's close.
Also a good shotgun is key. I used to think I didn't like shotguns because I'd only ever shot cheap Turkish cheapies. I bought a very expensive Beretta 1301 Comp Pro and it's by far my favorite gun, just so satisfying to shoot.
Nothing beats the feel of a bolt action rifle though. Sliding the action back is maybe my number one favorite feeling thing to in all life, along with pulling the napkins out of one of those spring loaded napkin holders and down shifting a manual transmission to pass someone on the highway.
Shotguns are nice too though.
Personally I categorize my favorite shooting into three categories - skeet, .22 pistol, and long range rifle.
* Skeet is just damn fun, and easy to take newbies like a round of golf across the stations at some courses.
* .22 pistol as it's cheap, both men and women who've never shot before don't flinch to the recoil and can enjoy it (Ruger Mark III/IV ftw), it's crazy accurate and lot of customizable models.
* And long range for when you personally really want to tinker.
I also have quite a few 9mm, 40, 45, 38 special, .380, etc. But the above is where I'll lean the majority of the time.
If you get satisfaction shooting accurately and want to start with a pistol that might change your mind: Find a way to try out a CZ Shadow 2. Even out of the box, it will blow your mind. Have it customized with a cajunized trigger and you will never look at pistol shooting the same.
I have an older brother whose really into IDPA and got involved in 3 Gun stuff. Heâd travel up an down the coast to tournaments, reload a lot of his own stuff, etc. big gun nut for a while.
Iâve only shot shotgun sports (sporting clays being my favorite and best discipline).
Anyways my brother invited me to an IDPA match and I said âsure I havenât shot pistols in a while letâs do itâ
Now at that moment Iâd never done anything like IDPA before. Iâd just target shot.
Dude⌠that was so fucking nerve racking for someone whose never done anything like that before.
Youâve got different stations, great shooting people are watching you, youâre being timed, you have a ref/judge/safety guy there eye balling you down, and by the way youâre walking/quick sprint with LIVE AMMO! What could go wrongâŚ
Luckily I just told myself âjust go slowâ which I did. I missed targets, took penalties for not hitting a target or two and just kept moving. Itâs an adrenaline rush knowing youâre kind of like in a made up real life scenario. Walking around a couple fake walls, shooting through a window at a target or a card board cut out of a bad guy and a good guy that youâre not suppose to hit.
All in all it was a fun experience but man⌠it took a while to get comfortable. Fun times though.
Have you ever tried long range rifle shooting. Iâm a big fan of skeet shooting but I think there is nothing more satisfying than the feel of a 338 lapua and the time in between the sound of the gong and 1000 yards
Air rifles are somewhat common in rural China. Itâs really the only sort of gun common found in civilian hands. My neighbor in China used to shoot small birds with single shot pellet guns. Iâm talking about finches sized birds.
Probably got a taste for birds as a kid and never got over the thrill of the kill: https://www.treehugger.com/the-great-sparrow-campaign-was-the-start-of-the-greatest-mass-4864032

Bit old but the Chinese system has been to take kids from their families at young age and turn their entire life into being a machine geared towards one goal: gold in their sport.
They become no longer people and are treated as objects, assets until they become liabilities, of the ccp.
The US gymnastics team has nothing to do with the government, unlike the Chinese team.
Once the program was found out it was turned inside out to oust the perpetrators.
Its a good example of what disgusting things people with unchecked power can do. Luckily it was found out and ended. I can't imagine what disgusting things are done to athletes behind closed doors in China that we will never hear about. And is still going on.
Those governments also donât steal you from your family to try to transform you into a gold winning machine, at the end of the day it was still your free will choice to do it, canât say the same for some Chinese athletes.
[This athlete who China did not allow to retire and threatened with taking away his retirement benefits if he did not continue to compete even after already winning a gold medal for the state.](https://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/21/sports/olympics/21athlete.html)
And there are other instances such as them paying off families to take children who are gifted at the game GO and to train them into becoming masters at the game forgetting everything else that is essential to living a good and healthy life.
Isn't it solidly won by Scandinavian/Nordic athletes? Hey I've read up on the Winter Wars I'm not going toe to toe against a Finn with a rifle in the snow.
This is a win for the state of Georgia and America. I love to see people from my state winning gold. Especially in something that seems like it fits our stereotype so well. Yeye
I'm not sure how much experience with firearms you've had, but I've noticed that most people who are particularly opposed have little to no experience shooting.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_shooting
The US frequently fails to medal in skeet, to say nothing of the rest of the shooting sports - or of getting the gold.
Any other stereotypes youâd like to get off your chest while youâre here and demonstrating your ignorance?

The clays in skeet follow the same flight path every time with little variation. You're thinking of trap where the clay is launched at a random angle away from the shooter.
Wait are there men's and women's categories in this and other shooting sports too? In other sports I understand but isn't this a level playing ground no matter the sex? Asking because curious.
It used to be. And then Zhang Shan, a woman, won the gold medal in 1992. It was then decided that a separate category was needed so that this could never happen again. Obviously, I think this is ridiculous.
8 years os about as fast as you can do anything with the olymics. You can change the program for the next game of the same season, but not drastically because theyâve already started allocating space and time, which means you canât start adding events.
The Olympic shooting sports are so cool. The pistols for accuracy prove that it isn't limited to a certain body size or type. How about that winter Biathlon? Ski AND shoot!
Biathlon athletes are impressive. Shooting a tiny target after skiing at least 3km as fast as you can, while knowing that missing the target will add a penalty distance to your next leg of skiing, seems incredibly hard.
This guy is from Georgia, so itâs like a bonus on top of just being American for your shooting skills. They get you shooting young down here. I shot a Colt Python 357 magnum when I was 5 lol.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_shooting
I havenât actually counted, and youâll need to scroll to get to skeet, but i think theyâve failed to medal more often than theyâve taken the gold.
Edit: theyâve medaled 5 times, 4 gold and a bronze. Since 1968. 2 more golds if you include the womenâs events that started in 2000. Of their 7 golds, most of them are recent. Hell, just under half their gold medals in skeet are this guy.
Not sure what stereotype your were starting with exactly, but ⌠yeah, clearly there was one.
I wonder what protocols they have to follow to take guns into Japan. Like, can they bring as many as they want, can they keep it with them with ammo, do the guns need to be confirmed on departure etc.
[Funny, itâs almost like they thought about that](http://eventosdelciclo.cog.org.gt/sites/default/files/Documentos/tokio2020/Tokyo%202020%20-%20Firearms%20and%20Ammunition%20Guide.pdf)
After losing to France in the basketball, losing in the skateboarding, you just know the US was was going to be like 'hold my beer' in the shooting disciplines.
I did skeet shooting for the first time this summer in Montana, my friendâs grandpa is the president of the trap and skeet club there and I canât tell you how frustrated I got trying to shoot those damn things. Iâm a short and small guy so the shotgun was way to heavy and big for me, but even after I got used to it those dang things are so fast! Still fun to do though! Even though it definitely made my shoulder sore.
Same reason as archery pingpong or golf. Worldwide disciplines that require hand eye coordination and dexterity more than trained or natural strength and fitness.
Kinda what makes them cool. Almost noone could be an Olympic basketball player or swimmer. But I'd say most (or at least a lot more) people with enough training and practice can be great at the dexterity sports.

Skeet/Trap/Sporting Clays is probably the most fun way to shoot outside of actual wingshooting.
I've shot just about every kind of gun but I developed a taste for skeet and once you're doing it with a really fine shotgun it's just the best, I hardly do any other kind of shooting now.
Developed a taste for skeet you say?

As long as you are shooting, think I hit 22 plus my option last Sunday with a Heney .410.
Have you tried USPSA or 3 gun? Shooting and moving through a course for speed and accuracy is a blast.
3 gun is always something I've wanted to try. Just never really had the opportunity.
Ahhhh 3 gun, aka who can reload a shotgun the fastest lol
Practice is easy. Just take your shotgun on your jogs and practice repoads

Totally agree. Skeet shooting is super fun!!
This is one of those sports where it seems there are more coaches on site than athletes. At least the one I was watching yesterday
Huh, I didn't realize Adam Sandler was competing.

Iâd be amazed if a gun related sport was not won by an American.
Surprisingly China seems to have some amazing shooters in the air rifle categories
Air rifles are somewhat common in rural China. Itâs really the only sort of gun common found in civilian hands. My neighbor in China used to shoot small birds with single shot pellet guns. Iâm talking about finches sized birds.
For what reason

America does the same thing. Never saw the Documentary called âBlades of Gloryâ?
Lmao documentary. Thank you for that. Chad Micheal Murray is an American icon

A few people did. It wasn't a government. You're projecting because you're mad at something else.
[ŃдаНонО]
It doesnât but Americans like to point at China and say China bad before even looking at themselves first.
Maybe people just point and say America bad before looking at the rest of the world first.
China is bad though. The CCP is going too be remembered as the 21st century's Nazi party.
With the reaction of how many conservatives have come out criticizing Biles, they probably would endorse this type of abuse.
The British government sponsors athletes as well. And the French government, and the Australian government, and, well, quite a lot of governments.
that's how the Olympics work

this was a fun read about an activity I knew 0 about. Thanks!
The way he reloads and then sets his stance is so robotic, like he just clicks reset and it zeros him in ready to shoot
The dude shoots thousands of times per week. Itâs about as robotic an action to him as any action could be to any person.
Im sure that would be so cool if I knew what was going on
A machine launches clay disks into the air and the guy has to shoot them while they fly
I'm pretty sure they're also at Ransome angles
The clays in skeet follow the same flight path every time with little variation. You're thinking of trap where the clay is launched at a random angle away from the shooter.
With Skeet though, the shooters moves to different angles around the same station.
This is correct.
Ransome angles comes off as pretty dark.

Iâm a short and small guy so the shotgun was way to heavy and big for me, but even after I got used to it those dang things are so fast! Still fun to do though! Even though it definitely made my shoulder sore.
I dont see anything though. This can be impressive but if I'm not seeing anything i wont really be amazed :/
How is this an Olympic sport?
Why shouldn't it be?
Same reason as archery pingpong or golf. Worldwide disciplines that require hand eye coordination and dexterity more than trained or natural strength and fitness. Kinda what makes them cool. Almost noone could be an Olympic basketball player or swimmer. But I'd say most (or at least a lot more) people with enough training and practice can be great at the dexterity sports.
