Giving the nutnfancy thing a try again (the range, not the narration)

Tried this a couple months ago:

It was fun and if you can make the course long enough it's actually decent exercise too. I just got back to the states and hadn't been to the range in 4 months or so, so I was taking it a little slow. I only moved about 50 yards the way I had it set up this time.

The wife took a video with the camera phone

The dang camera phone cut off at 60 seconds, hence the two videos

I was actually on a knee clearing a jam between the two videos, at least the crappy camera phone picked a good time to cut off. Semi-auto 22LRs aren't always the most reliable, but they are sooo much fun.

One thing I learned the first time I tried this months ago is that it's often hard to see much of anything if you drop to the prone in brush, so you often have to shoot from one knee. I practiced a bit at the range shooting from a knee and this time I had a lot less fliers on my targets than the first time.

I really like nutnfancy, his reviews are very thorough and his gun philosophy videos are extremely interesting. I never carried very regularly until I saw his Obligation to Carry video.

Nutnfancy sounds like he's on lithium when he talks, he puts me to sleep. lol.

I've been wanting to try stuff like that recently, but haven't been able to get to the place I'd be able to do it.

As for Nutnfancy, he's okay, but he tends to ramble a lot. What could have been a 15 minute video ends up 40+ a lot of times. He needs to make notes of the important things beforehand and discuss them concisely.

Nothing against Nutnfancy's style, that's for a different thread. I was inspired by his video taped range sessions to attempt something similar. You can't see them in the crappy video, but I got a couple 2 ft by 2 ft pieces of scrap metal for free, painted em orange, and put them up 100 yards downrange.

The land is owned by an in law, so I can't just set up a bunch of targets made out of scrap metal and just leave them there in a pre made course like nutnfancy seems to be doing. Even with having to set up all the targets beforehand and take them back down when I'm done (which takes a considerable amount of time), it's still fun.

It is noticeably harder to shoot highly accurately when you're running between positions and even a little tired. If you run a course like this multiple times, one right after another, it can almost start to turn into a stress shoot.
