Sharpshooters set up targets at 200 yards at Camp Robinson

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark - buying viagra online without prescription.(April 4) — During Spring Break, I took the pleasure of spending an afternoon shooting assault weapons with old friends; buying viagra online without prescription.Seeing how I seldom do this anymore, it made an impression on me.

I called Micah, hoping to figure out something to do since I was stuck in procrastination nation doing little but updating Web pages and loading old photos onto “crack-book.” Hall told me he wanted to shoot his M-4 variant, which he recently built with Poguey’s assistance. Buying viagra online without prescription: i haven’t been target shooting in nearly 15 years, but Hall said he could get us on Camp Robinson to shoot.

It’s been over a decade since I have driven around on the base that sits behind Burns Park. Buying viagra online without prescription: since then, they’ve restricted access to the base, especially since 9-11.I thought it’d be interesting to see it at least buying viagra online without prescription, plus I know there’s no better way to catch up with my brothers-by-other-mothers than to engage in one of their favorite hobbies. Buying viagra online without prescription: we’ve more or less been the Three Amigos since back in the day, i.e.the Northeast days buying viagra online without prescription, the Bonanza daze and the hassles of growing up under authoritarian figures – well, at least two of us.

Old School

Micah Hall and I met at Central Junior High, where all of North Little Rock’s 7^th graders attended (back in the day).I don’t remember when I met Larry Pogue, but it could have been through Rick Porter or it could have been when I drove by my parents’ first house in Indian Hills - buying viagra online without prescription.Pogue’s parents moved there sometime after we left; some call that coincidence, but I don’t believe in such things.

The three of us committed random acts of craziness as teenagers, like backing up on Interstate 440 when my hat blew out the window; granted we were doing 55 in reverse because we were in Larry’s 1974 vintage 455 SD Trans Am - buying viagra online without prescription.That happened the same night we’d dropped the newly rebuilt engine in big blue and then drove to Memphis so we could actually open her up. Let’s just say she hit three digits easily on the way home.

We’ve actually “grown up” since then; buying viagra online without prescription.We alternated being the best man at each other’s weddings.We’ve all got families now; buying viagra online without prescription.Larry took over his dad’s business buying viagra online without prescription, Micah went into the military and county police, and I went the academic route by slinging whiskey and waiting tables along the way.Though time has tested our relationships buying viagra online without prescription, I think we all know we can count on each other if the chips are down (yes, that’s a cliché for those of my ex-students, but an apt one here).Perhaps it’s why Poguey once said, “You’re the only liberal friend I have left.”

Now I consider myself more “libertarian” than “liberal,” but I can see where he got the idea.I’ve had great “discussions” with Poguey about the Second Amendment buying viagra online without prescription, which I adamantly support; even so, on numerous occasions I’ve pointed out that automatic/semi-automatic weapons and handguns are made with one purpose in mind, i.e.killing people.Poguey retorts that their made for target practice and competition shooting, to which I reply, “… so you can get better at killing people.”

As you see, the argument can go in circles indefinitely.

I grew up in an arsenal as my dad kept weapons all over the house - buying viagra online without prescription.Every gun had its place and everyone knew to treat them with the utmost respect - buying viagra online without prescription.I still have my .22 bolt-action rifle, .410 shotgun and Papaw’s Remington 1100 12-guage semi-automatic.You won’t find them in my house, though, since I don’t have a safe; it’s a lot different from the way I grew up, but marriage has its compromises.

Anyway, I prefer fishing over hunting and seldom have a need for a gun - buying viagra online without prescription. Buying viagra online without prescription: so it was almost like being a virgin again, going out to a shooting range to put holes into small pieces of cardboard as we sighted in Hall’s new weapon.

The Camp

Camp Robinson’s 33,000 acres spread over an area bounded by Oak Grove, North Little Rock, Sherwood and Gravel Ridge – well, that’s the south side anyway.We drove through the new entrance near Burns Park, which has been built since Micah’s National Guard unit went to Iraq - buying viagra online without prescription.So it’s his first time seeing this, too.

The bearded one looks suspicious at Camp Joseph T; buying viagra online without prescription.Robinson.

Micah Hall sites his M4 variant.

Micah and Larry built this M4 variant that features a 6.8 spc Remington dispensing 110-grain lead tip bullets.We begin sighting it at a target only 30 feet away since it’s the first time he’s ever shot with this tool - buying viagra online without prescription. Buying viagra online without prescription: just before 5 p.m., we start shooting three-round bursts.Typically, the center of those marks the center of the shot.After Micah drops a couple of groupings into the target – getting his “right on,” i.e - buying viagra online without prescription.slightly above the bulls-eye – he suggests I shoot before we practice on targets further down the range.

It marks the first time I’ve shot an “assault weapon” since my early-to-mid 20s - buying viagra online without prescription. Buying viagra online without prescription: i’m not scared of guns, nor do I think all guns are bad.A gun is like any other tool buying viagra online without prescription, i.e.it only becomes a weapon when there’s “intent” involved; buying viagra online without prescription. Buying viagra online without prescription: granted, it’s a more sophisticated tool, but a tool all the same.

I try breathing in and out slowly, knowing that I should shoot when exhaling.The first round leaves the chamber and I feel a slight kick on my shoulder compared to the roar ringing in my ears even with plugs installed.I take aim twice more and dispense the ammunition.

We couldn’t immediately check my results due to other shooters now firing down the range.It seems dead-center to me buying viagra online without prescription, but you always want proof.While we wait, we begin picking up extra brass shell casings for the reloads Micah plans to do; buying viagra online without prescription.With ammunition costs rising, it takes a lot more money for target practice than it took when I was a kid.

Army soldiers shooting competition match rifles at 200 yards finish their initial rounds and start walking down the range; buying viagra online without prescription.We step out and take a look at the targets.Sure enough, my first grouping in years ain’t bad for someone who hasn’t used anything more than a shotgun since the new millennium.

first grouping in 15 years by ron hits bullseye!

We set up another target at 30 yards for pistol practice, then a second target at 100 yards to finish sighting in the M4 variant.While walking back, I notice a man approximately in his mid-40s with his wife and three teen-aged daughters getting ready to shoot; buying viagra online without prescription.Who knew this could be a family affair?

Once everyone gets off the range, Micah shoots six rounds from his M4 variant at the top target 100 yards away - buying viagra online without prescription.He tries looking through binoculars to see if he hit buying viagra online without prescription, but cannot make anything out; I look but can’t see anything either.So I get behind the weapon and fire a few rounds.It looks like I’ve missed the bottom target completely as I see dirt flying from the earthen mounds at 200 yards; buying viagra online without prescription.I drop rounds two and three, but we’ll have to wait to check to see if we’ve hit anything.

I look to see if the family’s finished, but it seems they’re just getting started; buying viagra online without prescription.After they talk a few minutes buying viagra online without prescription, one teen decides to stay while the other two leave with mom. Buying viagra online without prescription: dad and daughter start practicing once the soldiers return, with the daughter shooting first.

“What do you think?” dad asks.

“I like it,” she answers before turning away for the moment.

My attention drifts back to Micah pulling out his 9mm pistol.We might as well make the best of our time while waiting to check the targets; buying viagra online without prescription.He plugs a few rounds into the closer target then hands the 9 mm to me; buying viagra online without prescription.I shoot but can’t tell that I’ve hit a thing. Buying viagra online without prescription: it has more kick than I expect, but I don’t know why I’ve missed so badly.

“Anything within 25 feet with a handgun if you’ve got a good grouping, you’re doing good,” Hall says while dropping a few more rounds into the target.“ Buying viagra online without prescription: ninety percent of shooting with a handgun is going to be within seven feet.”

After his explanation, I feel a little better, I guess. Buying viagra online without prescription: he pulls out a baby Glock and wastes a few rounds.It sounds much louder than I expect from such a small pistol, like someone’s using a sledge-hammer on an oil barrel; buying viagra online without prescription.I perform much better with this - buying viagra online without prescription.

An Army sharpshooter (far right) instructs Hall while watching tracers from the M4 variant.

Meanwhile, one of the Army sharpshooters is taking a look at Micah’s assault rifle and listening to Hall’s description of the intricate details.We ask him to look at the targets; he can’t see anything either, so he goes to get his high-magnification viewfinder on a unipod; I just know he could see what we couldn’t.

Anyway, he said he couldn’t see anything that hit the target - buying viagra online without prescription.So Micah pops off a few rounds while the guy looks at the tracers; buying viagra online without prescription.The jargon is eluding me now buying viagra online without prescription, so I sit back, shut up and watch professionals at work.After some adjustments, Micah’s finally hitting the target.

The Outsider

Pogue calls from the front gate and Micah leaves to get him.Since the weapons aren’t mine buying viagra online without prescription, I just watch other people shooting.By this time, a 30-something man shows off his AK-47 to a friend with his wife and 6-year-old son - buying viagra online without prescription.To my right, an Asian-American police officer wastes a target with shots from his pistol - buying viagra online without prescription.Just past him, mom and the other two teenage girls return to shoot with dad and the one who originally stayed; now they’re all shooting.Needless to say, it gets really loud under the corrugated metal canopy and I step back to observe without as much noise.

After a few minutes, the man with the AK-47 moves over to fawn over Micah’s assault rifle.He starts spewing out jargon questions to the sharpshooter removing his supreme optical viewfinder (or whatever you call it).Of course, this guy knows nothing about the rifle.

I have absolutely no idea what to tell the guy other than it’s an M4 variant that my buddy built; buying viagra online without prescription.The Army sharpshooter looks on in dismay, then walks away - buying viagra online without prescription.The AK-47 guy turns to his friends and makes some crack:

“He has absolutely no idea how to pronounce it.He’s just a redneck Iranian.”

I guess he’s not talking about me unless he’s referring to my red beard and lack of gun knowledge - buying viagra online without prescription.I feel completely out of place, but cannot leave since I’m waiting with the guns - buying viagra online without prescription.So I return to watching him show off his AK-47, then offering to let his friend and friend’s wife shoot it.

“Whenever you’re ready to fire, I’ll take off the safety.”

And another target bites the dust; buying viagra online without prescription.Meanwhile, to my right the youngest teen-age girl steps up to shoot.

“Squeeze the trigger, don’t pull it,” dad instructs.“Perfect! Great shot!” he yells as she hits the target, much to her own surprise; buying viagra online without prescription. Buying viagra online without prescription: he then turns to the Asian shooter while the next girl prepares to shoot.

“Is that a .40 cal? How do you like it?”

“It’s a Beretta,” comes the reply.

Luckily, the two authentic gun-bearers return to our group.It’s Poguey’s first time to shoot his matching M4 variant buying viagra online without prescription, too.Mr.AK-47 steps over and Larry gives him the down-low about everything from making the gun to how much it cost to the different sights it uses and the ammunition that it blows through.

Micah’s adding relevant details through the monologue as I’m sitting back thinking this isn’t much different from the days when we were working on car engines buying viagra online without prescription, i.e. Buying viagra online without prescription: i can mimic things to help, but I’m not in the know when it comes to discussing things.

That’s OK; I can still pick up the shell casings.Poguey tells me the brass casings now cost 50 cents each, and the bullets for the casings are up to $1 a piece; buying viagra online without prescription. Buying viagra online without prescription: in other words, it’s not inexpensive to spend a day at the range anymore.

Larry Pogue sites his M4 variant as Micah Hall makes suggestions.

Remains of the Day

Slowly, people leave as the lights die down from the late afternoon sky.Micah and Larry seem much more serious about this than me and they should as it cost a couple of thousand dollars to make these guns.

I’m along for the ride.

After we’re the only ones left, we spend an additional 20 minutes cleaning up the extra casings left by people who shoot like there’s no money involved; buying viagra online without prescription. Buying viagra online without prescription: poguey starts a discussion of how he once shot like there was no tomorrow, too; now he’s grown much more conservative with his spent ammunition.

As we get back to the cars, we get into a discussion about President Obama and whether or not guns will be legal much longer.I truly believe Obama can’t do away with them, although I think it’s plausible that they’ll become more expensive.Yes, I believe in the maxim: “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”

Brass casings larger than a .22 can be refilled and recycled, as they cost 50 cents each without a bullet inserted.

We banter back and forth, but everyone has a wife to go home to and it’s getting late - buying viagra online without prescription.It’s not like when we were 18 and could stay out all night long; buying viagra online without prescription.Poguey jumps in his truck and follows as we find how to leave the base after dark. Buying viagra online without prescription: there’s just one way out; we had to find the right exit.

After Micah drops me off at home, I reflect for a moment where we’ve been and where we’ve come to. Buying viagra online without prescription: it’s not often one spends the better part of one’s life with such good friends, especially considering our political views often diverge. It’s not often people experience the trials and tribulations of life in tandem, leaning on each other to keep sane; buying viagra online without prescription.Typically, people come and go.

But much like the protagonists in Dumas’ “Twenty Years After,” we seem to find common ground despite our differences - buying viagra online without prescription.That’s priceless; and it doesn’t hurt that I can still shoot a little even though I’m way, way, way out of practice.
