Sunday Funday - Friendly Competition

[@TheRealEricO]

Just to clear up a few questions that may arise. I own the 40 acres beyond our targets, yes there is a backstop of soil that is 6' tall and 20' wide not to mention the grade goes up over 300' beyond the target. I know where all of my pets and children are at all times. I am also a firm believer in our rights as US citizens and we practice safe gun handling at all times. *If you are not* into firearms that is totally fine too and I respect your decision to be that way just as much as I ask you to respect us. Enjoy your day folks 😊 -Eric & Vanessa O.

[@calholli]

Of coarse.. because being their Neighbors means you have an awesome place on 50 acres with a pond, dirt bike track, gun range, etc. etc.... Yeah, everyone should be living like this-- cities over 100k people should be abolished.

[@btcbob11392]

Mrs O shooting reminds me of the time my son and I went to the range, He brought his new girl friend and after shooting the 22 a couple of times she asked if she could try the 44 Magnum. We said OK and she put 6 in the black at about 30 feet. My son and I just looked at each other in amazement. They ended up getting married.

God bless you and your family, and animals!

[@TruckerBillVlogs]

Remind me never to annoy Mrs O!!! She's brilliant with Boomsticks.

[@IBenZik]

@1:57, Eric you have created a monster. I took my wife Cindy to the range and she used my Colt Python 6" with 38 Spl. and was a dead eye from the 3rd shot. I felt humiliated and reloaded her with 5, .38 Spl. and one 357mag(full reload). Needless to say she was POed when the big one went off, but she went from pop, pop, pop to Bang, bang bang. Now teach your daughter. I was at a range when she was 10 and I noticed she had many older men 50+ tilting their spotter scopes at her target. She is now 32 and I don't piss her off. 🙂 Great video and have a great Labor Day

Sweet! What could be better than range time, bbq, and time with the mrs. It looked like if Vanessa hones her grip a bit, she can keep all six tight. It looks like some increasing thumb pressure during the string widened the spread. She is a very good shot and could be great.

[@AlabamaDad]

Coffee excuse, really? Mrs. O is a great shot! Looks like lots of fun. My wife and I do that all the time. We love driving a couple of 2x2's in the ground and putting rubber bands on them. Blow up balloons and hook them under the rubber bands, about 5 on each side. Great reactive targets that are cheap. A breeze can make it more challenging too. Love some "away from the shop" family time.

Win some and lose some. I hope these videos of the O’s at home come a bit more on the notifications. These videos are great!

[@ladeseddy5994]

Geez for minute there I thought Mrs. O was shooting a newer 870 the way it wouldn't pick up a shell. Odd for a Mossberg. Is the shell latch out of time? In any event, even though you and Mrs. O missed some stationary targets, the bad guys are dead. Your first ones always hit. Nice to see fellow Upstate NY'ers enjoying their firearms in our Liberal Blue State.

[@TheRealEricO]

I think the timing is good on it. It's just when you work the action quickly. It flicks the two and a half inch shell up and hits the edge of the chamber. If you rack it slow and don't jostle the shell, it works just fine. Or if you use a 3-in it works fine.

[@ladeseddy5994]

@@TheRealEricO OK, You did say that in the video. I was an Engineer at Remington in Ilion and although I worked mostly with the 700 and Military products, I would get exposure to pump action shotguns with the MCS. Always 12 gauge. Maybe it has to do with shell weight as these are .410. 2 1/2 inch shells just too light for a quick cycling of the action. The 3" with more weight stays down. We would call your issue "Fails to feed" where the empty shell ejects but the live round does not present in a way where it can be pushed into the chamber. It looks like a tip up presentation. Brass casing hanging up? Same ammo manufacturer? Dirty chamber? Gun manufacturers typically, (not always) use the fore end travel (pump cycle) the same with all lengths of shells. Meaning they work the mechanism the same with a low brass 2 3/4 as they do the 3". If you do that you may have hang ups. The 3"- 3 1/2 pump action needs to be worked HARD. The 2 1/2 not as much. It may not have the right stroke to chamber the round and will result in a jam. We have seen platforms that simply will not shoot everything even though its advertised as such.

Eric, your Mrs. O is a real Mama Bear. You don't have to worry about the kids when she's around. Funny, I got me an older Colt Trooper III .357 Magnum, took my wife shooting years ago, we were using factory full loads. She was hitting bullseyes at about 20 feet (good for home defense). I was coming home a day early from a week trip, it was late night, I didn't call her. I was fiddling with the keys at the front door, I walked in and she had the revolver pointed at me. She was taking care of our kids. Damn, that was a close one. Good Video, safety was first! 👍

[@Garth2011]

Interesting you recently purchased the Single Six as I had read up on them last week and found out they are about the best revolver in 22 for the money. Right up there with the old Colts. We have a Colt SAA Scout Buntline .22 Magnum which the Ruger is comparable to in shooting characteristics. That Mossberg would likely eject better with those older waxed cardboard shells...long gone however.
