Click Shooting
 

Yes, i forgot to replace the spent primer with a fresh one. Good experience though, there was zero flinch. Range was 202 yard, because i was looking to get ready for our rifle season, and i am wondering if i should use a muzzle loader, instead of a breech loader. This morning it was 43 degrees up in the mountains when i set out the target. What i did was shoot 3 times about as fast as one can reload with the X7, without worrying about the barrel getting too hot. Then the switch was made to the breech loader. After a couple of shots with the breech loader, the deer came, and walked right behind the target, forcing me to wait. Shiver is what happened then.












Four shots at the top target with the breech loader, and 4 shots at the middle target with the X7. The load used in the Omega was 110g Blackhorn, 250g MonoFlex bullet, black crush rib sabot, and W209 primer. The X7 had a 1.5x - 5x scope. The furthest left hole isn't; it is a fly. The shot 4" high on the middle target was the first from a cold clean barrel. Yes, it was strange to shiver whilst shooting.

No clique on this forum, but occasionally there is a click.

Welcome to the click.

My Click Club membership expires November 18th at 9:00 AM. That was the exact time when I took aim on a big doe, after forgetting to slam the action shut on my .270 Win, after loading a cartridge in the chamber of my semi-auto too softly / slowly an hour earlier.

It's a stupid mistake I wear to my hunting sit-down spot, about once every ten years.

yep, 3 antelope yesterday out at the Whittington center right in front of our target.

Those are great pictures. I have heard that "click" at the worst times. And that deer coming out ... last year I had a deer standing behind my target, while I was at the range shooting. Not wanting to endanger it, I stopped shooting for the day. Great pictures and nice looking deer.

At timed range sessions ive found myself forgetting to unscrew the Knight's secondary safety a bit too often. Rushing to get in that last shot before the 15min cease fire is annoying and "clickish".

Ive been far luckier when hunting and have yet to hear the click instead of boom.

I lock tight down the secondary on the knight, never liked it. Never needed it,

Usually with a Flintlock in my case.

A couple times on the range I've forgotten something and got the dreaded "click". I agree Ron, it lets you know how steady your shooting is. or isn't. Thankfully, while hunting I've never actually joined the click club. I've never joined a "clique" club either for that matter. :D

Oh, and I love knights secondary safety. Great invention and safety feature, especially for those who hunt in stands.

I can certainly understand why some don't like it. I do like it when at the range or when hunting in a elevated stand. When a split second makes the difference between a shot or nada....not so much but i would rather be "safer" than "sorrier".
