Knob Creek Video, Part II

Here are a couple new videos of our Knob Creek field trip. Check out the Knob Creek Playlist on the Pretty Pistolera YouTube Channel to see the videos.  There is a new video of the lower range and one of me shooting a Thompson. 

John was so excited about the Thompson.  He gave me the full history lesson.  He explained its nickname is the "Chicago Typewriter" and it came out in 1928.  He also told me it was the gun that Bonnie and Clyde used. I shot it, shrugged, and handed it back to him.

John:  Great, huh?

Me:  I didn't really care for it.

John:  Are you kidding?  You didn't like THE THOMPSON?

Me:  Not so much.

John:  Hmph, it was good enough for Bonnie.


Still to come... videos of me shooting a Browning 1919, HK MP5 PDW, M4 Carbine, M60, and an M249 SAW.  Also to come, videos of our nephew Luke at Knob Creek.  He was one happy kid last weekend.  Stay tuned...

Bonnie actually had a custom cut down BAR in .30-06. She was described as "an artist" by one of the feds who she sot at with it.

I seriously enjoyed the FNC that Jim brought to the Gunbloggers Rendezvous - my first time shooting full-auto and it was a real trip.

Thompsons are a hoot to fire. Actually, Bonnie and Clyde preferred the BAR.

Newbies We're trying to catch up on the house stuff before the debate. John picked up the mail from the post office today. There was so much of it they gave him one of those big plastic bins to haul it home. Since I am refusing to deal with it until the weekend, John fished out his Concealed Carry magazine for tonight's reading (might be better entertainment than the debate). I was thrilled to see the cover... "The Evolution of a New Shooter" is a featured article. And, there is a chick on the cover. Hooray! I'll check it out and post my book report soon!

Knob Creek Videos, Part III I stumbled upon another mystery of the digital age. The mystery prompted the following note to YouTube: Dear YouTube, You rock. But, oh my goodness, you move at a snail's pace! How is it possible that I can download a song from Itunes in 3 seconds, but it takes five minutes to upload an 11 second video to YouTube? Please advise. I finally uploaded all of the Knob Creek video to the Pretty Pistolera YouTube Channel. There is lots of gunny goodness for your viewing pleasure. There are even videos of my mother-in-law shooting machine guns. It was fun for all ages! As promised the rest of my videos are avaialble to watch - Glock 18, HK MP5 PDW, M4 Carbine, M60, and an M249 SAW. My favorite is the Browning 1919 (its nickname is Grandpa). It took me some time to let the Browning bullets fly... Grandpa gave me an owie.
