Jody-thansk for yuor kind comments.

I have no secrets with photography, only sharing.  The "RED LIGHT" is actually done with a small power laser pointer.  I had the gun on a table and turned out the lights and then "painted" with the red light....then I pop on the main light for a few seconds and that completed the shot.  Practice - trial and error.

Painting with light is a blast...I have done entire small buildings this way.

Enjoy~!

You can raz me all ya want. I thought they looked a little strange on that gun when I bought it too.

But now those squirels know I really mean business when they see those combat grips. Laugh

And what is wrong with combat grips on a .22? Go ahead and razz Waldo...I can take it. Smile

For me, they are far more comfortable in my hands. I am able to shoot them more accurately.

Last week, I found a couple good books to study up on.Laugh

Metallic Silhouette Shooting was written by Elgin Gates, about the IHMSA sport. There's even some little scale paper cut-outs of the targets in there.

[Image Can Not Be Found]

Shooting Steel is packed with lots of cool IHMSA stuff, compiled from “the Best of The Silhouette” from '77 to '86. I'm glad I was able to grab these two books!Laugh

BTW Jody, if either of these pics are banner-worthy, I saved some big copies & I still owe you a re-do of one of my previous pics, if you still want it.Smile

Speaking of blueing so deep an friend looked at my M-15 today and said the blueing was so deep and beautiful it put his S&W's to shame. Didn't know what to say but, yes it is a beauty.

I have both those books, plus the newer edition of the Gun Digest one. Great reads, especially the big one. Where did you happen to find them? One of our forum members, Tigger, needs the Shooting Steel book...been trying to find him one for awhile.

Hey Charger those are very cool pictures.  I post all photo's that I get to the banner unless they are blurry.  I think that's what keeps it interesting!  Also think we need to start a thread for must have books (I think I'll do that)! Cool

IHMSA, I found this pair on eGouge for a little over $30. I'll keep an eye open for another one & let you (or Tigger) know if I run across one. Did they make another one for the '87 to '96 years? Just wondering what to look for next.Wink

Jody, a 'must have' book thread is a good idea. One can never have too many cool books on the subject.Smile Although, some of the older ones are freakin' expensive nowdays!Surprised

There is also a 2nd Edition of the Gun Digest book by Elgin Gates. I think this is the better of the two, as the first one has a lot more rifle stuff in it from the earlier years. Here's a cover pic...notice the very cool revolver that graces it.

[Image Can Not Be Found]

As far as Shooting Steel, there was never a follow-up book, though I severely wished they had published one. A lot of stuff has happened since that one ended in 1985. I have ALL the old IHMSA papers including match reports and gun tests, load data, product reviews. A dream of mine has been to consolidate all that into a Volume II of Shooting Steel some day. I would need a good scanner to start, then find a publisher, which I imagine would cost a small fortune. I think it really needs updating and is a shame the IHMSA staff never got around to it.

It almost brings a tear to my eye to think how many IHMSA papers I sent out with the trash back in the 80's. I never kept anything like that back then and would love to be able to go through them again. Even my name popped up a time or too although my scores were never anywhere near as impressive as yours IHMSA 80X80.

You're probably right, it would cost a small fortune to make an updated book. If you do ever make it though, I'll be in line waiting for a copy...or two.Cool

Thanks for the pic, I'll have to keep an eye out for that. GREAT looking gun on the front cover!Laugh Funny, I even have a pair of earmuffs like that...although...do those say DW on the black round things on the side?
