Asym Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Anyone else ever take the time to zero your main guns on a Bore Sighting target??? Well, our host has provided a target for us ! Now, if; they had a Muzzle Reference Sensor and a Bore Sighting device we could use to refer of actual sights to the bore of the weapons before we deployed, that would be........boring BUT! Interesting. Anyone else know you could do this ? BTW, it looks like AR500 steel and a blackpowder round ball target !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral_Karasu Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Such stupid signs... At least using them for target practice makes them somewhat useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to remember which map that "No BB's" sign is on. 🙂 As I recollect, it's along a flank that would place a slow battleship in a position wherein its guns would be unable to shoot over the island and contribute to the firepower of the entire team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, our host has provided a target for us ! On the short trip to where usually I go shoot, there's a yield sign on a dirt road. Every time the county puts up a new sign someone shoots it again. It's on the road to a popular dove-hunting cow tank on the government so who knows who it could be. There's a gas pumping substation on that corner that's visited every day too so it could just be some bored gas field workers as well. We got four inches of snow day before yesterday but you'd never tell it cause it's 56 F now and it all melted. That road is sandy though so it shouldn't be muddy. Well, heck it's only a coupe of miles, hold on a second and I'll run out and take a snapshot. Sorry for the focus, it was so bright I couldn't see the screen on Dad's old cell phone that I found in a drawer and charged up. I think I found the culprits too. People don't shoot road signs, shotgun shells do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotguns in the US and AK's in the sandbox. I've never shot at a sign, even when I was a kid. I've taken a few of them out with farm implements though. Hey, if the county is going to put the road signs so close to the road then it's their own fault if a farmer can't get his implements around a curve without knocking them down. There was one curve that was especially troublesome near the land I was farming when I was just out of high school. Every time I'd go around it I'd have to get out, take the sign off the pole, squash the pole flat with my implement, then bend the pole back sort-of straight and re-attach the sign. It's not a problem anymore with folding disks but this was back in the days of one-ways that you could only turn, well, one way and were a hassle to convert to road travel if you were only going to take them a mile or so to the next field. This is a one-way. We usually ran two or three of them in tandem. You can only turn left with them, never right or you will wrap the cable around your tire and the discs will climb up and say "hi" to you. Don't ask me how I know this, or why I've done it twice.

My four-year-old great niece combined "uncle" and my first name and then started calling me "munkle monkey," which was a pretty good "dad" joke on her own part. Of course, I was "ooking" around on the monkey bars with her at the time too. In ten minutes I was worn out and she had run a hundred yards over to the baseball field and was chasing birds out of the dugouts. I'm not sure that I ever had that much energy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cute. My oldest niece couldn't say "grandpa" when she was a baby so she called my dad "Pawgaw," that's what she and her sister called him until they graduated from high school. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
