cool miata
as for shooting: sounds fun! I haven't been shooting in the longest time, not sure I could hit the broad side of the grand canyon at this point but I'll go anyways since it's always fun.

Lets get the ball rolling.
We need a good range, preferably one that is free.
Raahauge's is $15 per person per hour per lane. That would add up really quickly.

If we can get an outdoor range where we can shoot water jugs, I will build a few appropriate bullets. (reloading is fun) And we can all bring some melons, those go up good.

where we go is free. its an open place to go shooting. neither of my spots are RX-8 friendly. so we would need some trucks. we have one. we can put up to 6 people in.

the way I owuld work it, is everyone meets up at my house. then we pile up and roll out from there.

I personally like to go "early" meaning leave my house by 7:30 or so. this is to beat the heat, and hopefuly to be one of the first ones. its kinda a first come first claim the teritory type of thing.

shotguns, hand guns, rifles. all a ton of fun.

start stocking up on that ammo. I'm open to set a date, but I can tell you thre will not be a good time for me untill June. (if yall are in a big hurry, then I might be able to squeeze it in sooner)

oh also, the way we usually do it.... since ammo is expensive. if your bringing guns and ammo then cool, feel free to shoot my stuff, I want to shoot yours to. (insert gay joke here). but if your just a shooter then try to do something to contribute. bring some snacks, some drinks, offer to help clean some guns, bring some clayor ammo, something. it doesnt take much.

We got a place that an RX8 can get to, but a lowered RX8 may have trouble. (My car with Tein springs does fine, as long as i drive slow)
But the dirt road is about 1/4 mile. So a truck to use as a shuttle would work out nicely.
I can volunteer my Hyundai as a transport car. (The Hyundai 4 door makes it easily)

I have plenty of guns. But we would need targets and bullets to make it happen.
Everyone start saving your milk containers, water bottles, old shaving cream cantainers . . . etc . . etc . . etc

I will build up some killer bullets to make some serious explosions hapen.
So bring your cameras

two liter bottles filled with water and add a drop of food coloring is an awesome target. (also works with smaller bottles. for the closer targets (or scoped rifles)

last time we brought about 15 phone books. those are fun as well. a shotty to a phone book in the air is pretty cool! we also lined up up to stop the bullets. fun to see which guns made it through the most.

They are not really 'exploding' bullets, as much as they are bullets made to do the most damage to a particular target.

Example:
My 300winmag puts out over 3500lb/ft of force at 100 yards.
But it penetrates over 40 inches with a full weight solid bullet.
So if the target is only12 inches thick (milk jug) it will not transfer all the energy to the target. Only about 1/5 of the power is used, the rest is lost.

But a bullet meant to kill a varmint is supposed to completely expand at about 9 inches. This will transfer almost 100% of the power to the target, making a much better explosion.


If we go, I will set up a few different styles and weights of bullets so everyone can see the difference they do. maybe we will have to bring a dozen melons to use as victims

There are Firefox extensions that let you download embeded video like that. Also some programs will let you too.

Here is a website with pretty easy instructions to let you: http://mashable.com/2009/08/13/downl...os-to-desktop/
