Most Epic First Strike Firing Range Ever?

Havoc-paintballer · 01-27-2012, 03:46 PM

So I wanted to sight my new T9 in with FS rounds for the first time before I go play with it tomorrow. I live in a small place in the city with not alot of open areas. So, I made myself a 115 foot firing range, THROUGH the house LOL. Dedicated?
About 40 feet in backyard then 35 feet in house then rest in front yard with a sheet to catch trhe rounds so I can reuse them.

I have no idea how fast Im shooting (no chrono). Im guessing it is shooting really fast as I only got exactly 2 mags worth to a 12 gram.

Thankfully the neighbors have not complained yet.

Back yard stand:

View of target in front yard through front window:

First shot nowhere close. Leaves deep imprint in trim wood LOL:

Later shot almost breaks window:

So ye, had a little clean up to do. But only the 3 shots that hit inside broke. All the shots on the target fell to ground and were recovered.

At the end was able to get every shot to hit paper. Not perfect but very good. I was amazed at the trajectory of them though. The rounds flew sooooo straight (ie didnt fall down with time). I can see why they shoot so much further than a normal paintball.

I don't get to say this often to the people that actually did the thing I'm laughing about ... but that was insane. Thank you for that bit of entertainment.

Amazing. Easily the best firing range ever.

That's thinking outside the box.

Not to sound like a butt, but what if someone walked through out front or missed the sheet and you nailed them in the ear or eye!? I think that what you did could have been very dangerous and put another bad mark on paintball. If I were you I would just wait until you get to the field to target shoot, not knowing what your velocity is may just kill your whole sighting in your marker anyways!

Wife was there making sure no one came close. Believe me, I was playing it very safe
