It has arrived...

My DPMS Oracle Upper Module 5000 has arrived and fitted and sighted in (sort of)

I slapped the sights on and they were only about 5 or 6 inches off, so we adjusted them and they're more like 4 inches off, I'm holding out for better ammo to finish the job.

Anyway, picses.

Gun Safety

I've been watching a lot of shooting videos online (including some of our own) and I've come to the conclusion we need to be safer.  Every now and then somebody will point a barrel in my direction, whether or not I know that gun is empty doesn't matter; It's ALWAYS scary to have a gun pointed at you.

Also I think we're going to have to do some boring gun training next shoot to help some people out.  I'm seeing wrong stances and bad grips, which can lead to accidents and at the very least wasted ammo.  Nearly everyone that shoots with my limp wrists handguns and leans back, both at the same time cause weapon jams, dropped guns, and rounds through every which way.

I'm reminded of trying to teach my dad how to properly hold a handgun, and he, like many of my friends, kind of ignores me when I say words, and he ended up with a huge gash in his thumb from the slide.

Please pay attention when somebody tries to tell you the correct way to hold a gun, its not a pride issue on your side, it's to prevent injury.

Case in point, theres OMG HUGE HOLE IN MY THUMB guy.
