HateTheSnow 29 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 What an awesome day! Great weather, great folks, and just an all around great time. Thanks again to everyone who made it down. All-in-all our little group was well recevied by the folks at the range. From the regulars who couldn't resist finding out what all the RAT-TAT-TAT was about to the numerous compliments we got from the RSO's, we made a huge impression. And Gene Pitts, the owner, asked me to pass along his personal thanks and that we are more than welcome to hold future events out there. The only downside is that there was so much going on, that I'm just now fitting board names to a lot of the folks I met Pics to come...but give me a day or so since it was taken with a camera that still uses film.

saigaboy 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Wow, looks like a blast, no pun intended. How did the Saiga Ver 308 do? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) the saiga 308-1 I brought performed almost identically to my vepr 308. SaigaNoobie ran a lot more rounds down his than I did mine, but I was able to hit anything I pointed it at! Its a nice gun. A bit more on that later. I was a bit distracted by the company and things to shoot at.... Edited March 3, 2008 by Bvamp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MikeD 541 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I should have sent instructions for the finger and flesh saving way to load the drum. I only found out the best way to load it myself a week ago Saturday. My brother showed me! After all this time and all that pain and I never figured it out for myself. Someone else had to show me how to load my own damn drum , and the answer was as close as my brother the whole time! You want to press the top round down with the palm of your hand that will be loading the next round. It helps to put a slight directional pressure towards the wall holding the scoop. With the other hand hold the shell down with your finger or thumb back by the feedlips. Then put the next round in and make sure it is slid all the way back. With just a little practice you will be loading them fast as hell and pain free. You will be sliding the shell back and pressing it down in basically one motion! Looks like you guys had a good time. Wish I could have been there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zelik 0 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 The Florida shootout was a blast, aside sqeezing a few rounds and having all the stress melt away, it was truly awesome to meet so many great people in one place. It was well worth a drive from Atlanta. Huge thanks to Florida folks for your hospitality!!!! Here is some more pics, enjoy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 was VERY good to meet you Zelik! I am sorry that I did not spend more time talking with you! Glad to finally meet you as well! (now I know why you were commenting how you were, at the end! ) Those of you that did not attend....you have no idea how cool this was. It made me sad to leave, actually. everyone was exactly who they said they were, and it was only good people.....I hope you all can get events going near you like this! I am still sitting here thinking "what a day".....very rare thing....other than me raking the range with buckshot a few times, I cant think of anything bad??? (hey, I have to demonstrate the lethal power of the s12 as I know it) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Makc 64 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Some videos made by Zelik and his brother! SaltPeter blasting out of the MD-20 Zelik - side-by-side .45 are fun! SaltPeter with his AR!

I dont care! I had fun. I guess I may have handled a gun before in my life..... You cannot buy my saiga in the video. it is mine. period. I keep telling you guys, and I hope some of you will listen!

HateTheSnow 29 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 And finally...pics from the other side of the bench Early morning view of the range Right side Left side A quick break while we "found" more car parts to shoot up . Bvamp, I swear that isn't your missing door in the picture SaigaNewbie and his better half waiting for Mike to finish up with the Uzi Me (FLTF3) punching holes in car doors with the Uzi FLTF3's Dad getting comfy with the Uzi repetesale with the Uzi After this picture, it took 10 of us to pry the Uzi out of repetesale's hands Even the RSO's couldn't resist having a little fun Our end of the bench. And yes, that's my custom .308 on the far left that Bvamp out-shot me with...BASTARD! The suppressed MAC-11 (aka "the buzz saw")...what a fun little toy that was repetesale with his Mossberg 500 trying to keep pace with the Saiga-12's FLTF3's Dad fine tuning his AR Once again, I can't say enough about how tremendous this day was or how down to earth all the folks that showed up were. Thanks to everyone who showed up! From shooting charged fire extinguishers, car parts, tannerite, water bottles, not-so-fresh fruit, and anything else that wasn't nailed down, it was a great day. Plus Bvamp came with a ton of cool RAAC swag and the shirts from Juggernaut were top notch...nice touches that put this event over the top! And as good as this shoot turned out, I'm going to make it my business to help make next year's event even better. I have a ton of great memories from that day and hope to see all of you again next year, along with a whole bunch of new faces! Last but not least, I'd like to send special thanks Makc, Bvamp, repetesale, Vjor, Juggernaut, RAAC, and Leo and Bryan from Viking Kitty Armory for making this event one of the best I have had the pleasure of being a part of. Great job guys!!! FLTF3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And yes, that's my custom .308 on the far left that Bvamp out-shot me with...BASTARD!" hey, really, FLTF3, I didnt outshoot you. You put me on the spot, and I showed you that I know what I am doing! THANK YOU for letting me shoot that thing! REAL nice gun, it was a privledge! It distracted me from my PSL as well as my s308-1 tests! WHAT A GUN! I saw you throw a quick one or two right in there, when I was done! Really, thanks for letting me shoot that tack driver! I know that it must have cost you plenty to get it where it is, and I know the AMMO you handed me cost a great deal. It is one of those "unfairly accurate rifles" that I mention once in a while. I will be sure to boast to my Brother about it for you! He will be jealous! thanks again to you all for taking the time to spend together, as we all should do. The-collectorFL - I was hoping to see you there! Shooting with friends, (and well, shooting, period), it envigorates the soul! I really expected to have to push your car out of the quicksand next!!!!

I really expected to have to push your car out of the quicksand next!!!! no shit, that was not my lucky weekend good news is I am going up to the hernado range. it is right there at chaskawiska (spelling I know) area, I used to hunt that place alot when I was a kid. used to be a bunch of bears in there and walked up on one during a hunt. it just looked and walked away. anyway I have not shot up there in all the years they been there but got an invite so I am gonna try to make it. if I hit quicksand I will call you on my sat phone later... best regards dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaNoobie 66 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Some videos made by <font color="#0000FF">Zelik</font> and his brother! SNIP BAH, no one got me on video bumpfiring the whole 20rds? That Photo contains Remington "Sluggers" 2 3/4", Federal Target Load and Remington game load (7 1/2 shot and 6 shot respectively... 2 3/4") As you can see from I also dumped the shells onto the dirt/plywood before loading them in.... just for fun BTW, While the jams you see in Bvamp's and Makc's guns happened with the Winchester target load, I had NO FTE/FTF with any of the 3 types I put in the drum.

SaltPeter 6 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 For those in the Tampa Bay area, Wyoming Antelope Club has an action shotgun shoot on Thursday nights at 6:30. It costs $8 and goes 'til about 9:30. I used to go every week about five years ago but stopped. I just went last Thursday to find that it's still going strong, and still nobody uses a Saiga but me. Some of you guys ought to show up and we'll give these tube magazine guys a run for their money. I plan on being there this week. 7½ - 9 birdshot shells only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
