Shooting-9mm, .22 and a Rope!

Shooting-9mm .22's and a Rope from J. Andrew Wong on Vimeo.


Yesterday Benjamin and I did some target practice with a couple of our guns.
We fired the 9mm caliber carbine first. The pistol grip and fore grip made the gun really easy to swing side-to-side, so we lined a few glass bottles up and fired at them.
Then we tied a short rope over a branch and then tried hitting it using a .22 bolt action with a 5x scope. It was a little bit tricky to shoot when the rope would start moving, but after a few shots Benjamin finally shot it. Benjamin found that his scope wasn't completely zero-ed in and found that the gun was shooting to the right. After adjusting the scope, he hit the rope on the next shot. I took a turn next and hit the rope 3 times in a row before we ran out of ammunition.
We were trying to split the rope in two, but .22 bullets are so little that they would just pass right through the rope.
The video above isn't anything too fancy, but you can see a little bit of shooting that we did. I had forgotten to add this clip to the video:

We tried shooting a box a little bit, but that was too easy...
