How do you use your black rifle?

I use my black rifle (s) as:

  • Safe queen - never sees the range. I fondle once a month when cleaning it.

    Votes: 18 4.8%

  • Goes to the range, but does bench shooting only - either plinking or precission

    Votes: 159 42.7%

  • Is used for competing in some type of arena - 3 gun - service rifle etc.

    Votes: 130 34.9%

  • I dress mine like a Barbie doll and pose with it in front of the mirror

I use my stuff for shooting, and hopefully hunting soon. (Well, except my AR. Sadly all I can hunt is paper at an approved range.)
Safe queens for the loss, I like a few dings and scuff marks on my guns. I bought them to use them, not polish them all the time and worry I might possibly get a fingerprint on the finish.

Kevin, I hate you as well and are you and your lady adopting per chance? Need a cabin boy? I don't eat much and I can top off mags with few complaints. :(
 
I currently don't do any competition (other than between buddies), so really all I use my "black rifle" for is professional development. Being a Reservist, as opposed to Regs, we get significantly less time for marksmanship training (unless on deployment). Is a real bugger, but now that I finally own a similar weapon system to our issue rifle/carbine, I'm able to do some supplimentary training (minus all the dynamic applications, unless I get clever).

Plus, the baby needs feeding or else it'll have a rust tantrum... :dancingbanana:

Well, it was a pretty simple question. Didn't think you'd have such a hard time with it... oh but then again........ never mind.... :D


I appreciate the input from you all. Even those who couldn't understand the very basic concept behind the question. As in Captain Obvious up there.. :D :pirate:
 
I use mine to kill yotes, gophers, paper, full popcans, junk, metal, anything I can find around the house or work. I like shooting all kinds of ####.

IMHO shooting PWTs and doing gunfighter drills repeatedly is not really marksmanship training. Only perfect practice makes perfect. Also keep in mind that if your instructors were only trained to the minimum standard they can't get you much farther than that.

Well, repeating those drills is what the army calls practice (which enough makes "perfect). Not to mention there is the obstacle that those who aren't gifted marksmen must conquer. Which is keeping the determination to better yourself in all manners of the skill. This can only be done through repetition. Some ways work better than others to learning and developing, however no matter what kind, the fundamentals are always essential. Hence why the army also still trains our troops for conventional warfare using old cold war doctrine. Fundamentals of warfare.
 
I use mine at the range at the bench. One of these days, I'll give "Practical Rifle" a try. Yeah, having a black rifle is pretty cool, but shooting one is waaaaay cooler - I'd go nutz having one as a safe-queen! :p

But if you are repeating errors you are just getting good at doing it wrong!!! Only perfect practice makes perfect...
