With no particular task or scenario, what do you enjoy shooting most?

For me it's shotguns first, then rifles, then handguns. I can say that I don't particularly enjoy shooting handguns, I really only do it to maintain proficiency. I never go shooting without bringing at least one though.

I really enjoy shooting my 870 12ga, and I really enjoy shooting my Polish AKMS. Everything else is just to maintain proficiency, or make sure it still works.

Handguns are most enjoyable to me. And I am starting to gravitate towards revolvers more and more. They are just more enjoyable to shoot

My suppressed SBR’s get used more than anything else

Both rimfire and centerfire.

The kind that goes *BANG* when I squeeze the trigger.

Suppressed ARs with thermal. Could probably go hunting every night and not tire of it.

I like everything, but rifles are my favorite.

I've been shooting them far longer than
anything else, other than cowboy cap guns.

My old Marlin bolt .22 w/Weaver 'scope. Had it for years.

I prefer...
1. semi-auto rifle or pistol
2. Revolver pistol or Lever Action rifle

Either will work

Rifles of all sorts. My M16 is fun!

Posted: 8/3/2024 4:27:51 PM EDT

9mm service sized handgun
1911 government model, any caliber.

Posted: 8/3/2024 4:28:14 PM EDT

1. Suppressed AR
2. Suppressed pistol

ARs. 16" M4 clones. The balance, ergonomics, accuracy.

Handguns

I rarely, if ever, take out my rifles anymore.

Rifle. My M14 is my favorite to shoot just for fun. Big, obnoxious, and doesn't do anything particularly well. It does have an unexplainable appeal. It's like a Brodozer that shoots.

older the better. +/- 110 years old is my sweet spot.

Suppressed .22lr pistol, it makes me laugh like a middle school boy training to be a secret assassin.

Posted: 8/3/2024 4:34:44 PM EDT

LR/ELR bolt actions.

It’s so fucking satisfying to get hits at 1000+m, especially on shit wind days.

Is it that fun?
I finally got my mounts delivered, I need to get to the range and collimate/Zero it. Too damn hot out this week.

I prefer rifle... I find it comes more naturally, I have a lot more trigger time on rifles.
Last year I started to pick up handgun more and started getting okay, then I didn't shoot all winter and my "skills" perished.

Soooo I'm back to shooting handgun a lot more the past few months. I need to get a shot timer.

For a looong time now I have enjoyed shooting my rimfires the most. Specifically my 9422, 39A, and 62A, but even those I have not taken out in a few years.

Bolt action rifle for me, but its because of being out in the woods/hunting big game.

Strangely enough revolvers. More specifically my 629 5” Classic.

I fucking love that gun.

Posted: 8/3/2024 4:59:44 PM EDT

Rimfire

Posted: 8/3/2024 5:03:47 PM EDT

20” ARs without a doubt.

Handguns aren’t my thing, but I shoot them occasionally.

Shotguns pretty much don’t exist in my world as it is anymore. I shot them a bit for the first few years that I was starting to get into shooting and never really cared for them.

Around 20,000 rounds a year.

300 PRC long range rifle. Made hits out to 1200 yards with it so far. Waiting on a suppressor and then will go out to a mile.

Machine guns followed by Lever Guns. I like shooting anything but those to I really enjoy.

Ma Deuce is the most fun firearm I have ever discharged. 25mm M242 Bushmaster was a hoot too, kind of like a video game but with live HE tracer ammo.

I enjoy a pretty wide variety, really.

twig and berries OP, gun and discipline are different. Do we get one gun or a gun per discipline.

I love a good bolt gun for long hitting

I love a intermediate rifle for repeated hits

I love a shot gun that is versatile and I can destroy any target with what my shells allow me to perform

I love handgun that is both an accurate reliable pistol and revolver in a caliber I am comfortable with that takes down my target in front of me.

I enjoy to plink with 22 rimfire and take small game with it

I shoot all of the above whenever I can because I enjoy it.

Maybe I should take up archery instead of shooting and that would be my favorite. OK, AX throwing sounds fun...

Nice optics setup, I'm looking at a similar ZC/rangefinder setup for mine.

What mount/rail did you use?
