Frustrated at myself shooting at Angeles Range

[rotorheadv8]

Your trigger pull is a large source of your frustration. Slow it down. Make sure you are pulling straight back keeping your sites on target. When it fires it should almost be a surprise. (Capt, USMCR (Ret), Firearms Trainer).

[HELLRayzn]

You're doing the right thing--exercising your right to bear arms! In the notes in the future it would be helpful to others to mention something about the AR-15's upper and lower receiver brand.

[CptSmokeAlot]

If your having a bad day at shooting slow the F down collect yourself and make your shots count

[00corin00]

i live in cali and the 10 round law sucks!!! burro canyon is a fun place to shoot. i have been there a few times.

[dumfart21]

azn

[mesmorrow]

nice,what caliber ?

[jashugan007]

Just curious, did you build your own AR?

[afancyhobo]

just some constructive criticizm... trigger control is very importaint for accuracy... a smooth controlled pull will help with your groupings

[marcoshxc]

SBR? This is in CA right?

[speedwaypinoy]

@marcoshxc

Barrel looks longer then 16 inches to me?

[USFBULLIT]

I love you!

[LeperKing]

Great Rifle!! Just picked one up. I have to say I really dont like Angeles Shooting Range. Too many rule. I like Lytle Creek, but you cant beat the Private Lanes at Burro Canyon.

[FatherofFreedom1776]

Well done and they say shooting is a mans game. Keep it up....

[ronin29607]

At least you didnt take your anger out on the cameraman lol. j/k

[Gordonalways1]

open that other eye and you'll see where you are shooting.

[dualberettas]

[Vietboy1st]

[devildogmre]

You're one awesome lady!

[IVSpod]

I love a lady who shoots. :D

[duweydang]

Rushing shots there I see. Try squeezing the trigger instead of jerking. How far were you shooting?

[Vietboy1st]

She suck at long range.. lol

[shropshire21]

What brand of rail do you have installed on your rifle? Was it installed on your rifle already or did you have it installed?

[gunmaster1119]

ohh so thats what women do when their angry..

[CharlieDoan]

Hi Kimchi

South Korean all the women shoot M-16 like that how wonder Kim Jun Il not get mad and shoot missiles all around...(Just kidding) I'm from Vietnam, my country divided by 2 like yours but so bad luck , the communist win and took over the whole country, lesson to learn to KOREAN friend. Defense your country and do not let Communist have any of your land. Look Vietnam as your lessons.

[btbrotherton]

marry me!  ;)

[nowthisis2stupid]

This rifle looks almost identical to mine, only I don't have the magpul trigger guard. Mine is a CMMG cardinal marked upper and a CMMG lower. 14" barrel with pinned and welded vortex flash suppresor. Midwest Industries free float quad rail and Yankee Hill Machinery rear Back Up Iron Sight. Mine is also the 1/7 inch twist barrel, Looks like yours is exactly the same almost how does it shoot the 55 grain ammo?

[CharlieDoan]

@nowthisis2stupid

1/7 and 1/9 which one is better?

I got Bushmaster M16A2 model 20 " Heavy barrel.

- I changed the titangnum fire pin ....shoot much much better!

[nowthisis2stupid]

@CharlieDoan Depends on what kind of loads you are using. If you are wanting to use. Heavier loads like out up to and past 75 grains then you will definitely want the 1/7. However if you are only wanting to use standard 55 grain grain stuff then 1/9 is perfect. 1/9 is the best plinking setup, 1/7 is better for hunting or long range.

[guyNbluejeans]

Responsible women and guns, it's kinda cool.

[makerchris]

umm...can i marry you?

[622901]

That man looked a little intimidated at the beginning lol

[TheSafetysoff]

still jerking the trigger..

[xfiles6728]

Take your time, watch your breathing control, and squeeze the triger next time. and I bet you do much better.

[xfiles6728]

Take your time, watch your breathing control, and squeeze the triger next time. and I bet you do much better.

[714JN]

i go to this range too, usually on sundays. i notice on some of your video's you pull the trigger pretty quick. try to relax your trigger finger and squeeze with the tip of your finger. squeeze, then slowly squeeze harder until you fire. quick movements usually throws off your aim.

[bbbvvv312]

I know this is an odd question, but did you go to Irvine Valley College?

[RDS5284]

Nice to see a female putting rounds down range!

[kittycatkimchi]

@RDS5284 Thank ya and I love doing it!

[RDS5284]

Yeah me too, I always go on a weekend but I would like to have the range to myself, have you ever gone during the week?

[kittycatkimchi]

@RDS5284 Typically I'll go that 1 mid-week day they open late, but it's really rare. I'm a weekend shooter as well. It takes me over 1 hour to get there!

[dills2403]

also looked good doing it.... nice form control that firearm lol

[PinkyWontWork]

@RDS5284 Nicer to see them in the kitchen!

[hurstea]

After you aim center mass you will always hit center if you follow these instructions. Finally before you shoot position your body square to the target look through your sighs and position your body to were your natural point of aim is at the target. Then use all the fundamentals I showed you above and you will be good. it was not in order but use them all and you will be a expert shooter. I am a Marksmanship instructor in the Marines just to let you know.

[RDS5284]

Not bad advice but I personally shoot both eyes open unless im shooting with a scope.

[86F350]

@hurstea how can you find natural aiming point shooting off hand, where you stationed at?

[hurstea]

The first thing that you do is aim your rifle towards the target in the most stable and comfortable position that you could. Look through the sights, when your see the target center that is your natural point of aim. I found that using the figure 8 method works best. Basically turn the 8 on its side and draw a figure 8 mith the front sight tip or bulls eye with the center being center mass. Make the figure 8's slow plus 5 squeeze the trigger center mass. Im stationed in 29palms.

[hurstea]

There are a number of reasons that I seen. Trigger control stockwell eye relief and breathing. You have to practice trigger control slow and stady squeeze were your finger is most comfortable on the trigger. Breathing Breath in then out when you have that natural respirator pause slow and steady squeeze of the trigger. Get a chipmunk cheek on the stockwell. Close your non dominant eye and dont stare at the target focus on the front site tip and the target should get blurry aim center mass.

[3is]

best tip i can give you over the internet, is to visualize your shot, keep your eyes open, pull the trigger and don't release the trigger forward until you know basically where you hit and if not at the intended spot, have a reason why the shot went astray.

[Kaibo900618]

pretty calm!

[kittycatkimchi]

thank you!

[wubzi911]

@kittycatkimchi

it the lake view terrace shooting range..am i correct?

[P99Fan]

wow, I wished there were more girls like you who enjoy shooting. You do look very steady when shooting. I think that you are holding your AR way up your shoulder and the recoil is going ever you, I suggest you support the rifle lower so you can control recoil, also, do not move your trigger finger while recoil. Hold trigger inwards while shooting. Regards

[dudrhkd7]

in the military you hold the rifle a little higher in the shoulder than you talk about its so your muscles wont mess your shooting up

[P99Fan]

probably. But she is not in the military :-D, she shoots for fun, right?

[XDontTreadOnMeX]

SQUEEZE that poor trigger.

[kittycatkimchi]

LOL I'm trying! ;) I actually have gotten a little bit better but handguns I suck

[XDontTreadOnMeX]

Haha.  I haven't even had a day experience with handguns yet. But they sure look like they'll be fun.

[zanders]

The best advice I could give you would be to slow down a bit. It's not a race and if you take your time on your shots your accuracy will increase. Also rapid firing any gun is a good way to warp the barrel.

[kittycatkimchi]

Great advice!... I just have to remember nice and steady.

[justme93662]

honey please put that rifle down.

[redsquirt47]

Hang on tighter and don't jerk the trigger so violently and you wouldn't have had a reason to be frustrated... :-|

[kittycatkimchi]

Really good feedback. I've gained accustom to the rifle where I am more steady and slower on the trigger pull. You are absolutely right... NOW the real challenge is shooting handguns. I anticipate the shot so much it screws with my accuracy... plus it probably doesn't help firing a glock 37... 45 ... I'm really little.. I should have purchased a Kimber 1911 that has more weight to the frame.

[redsquirt47]

With a handgun... hold the grip as high as you can, and hold it as tight as you can without shaking. Then focus solely on the front sight and slowly squeeze the round off. Concentrate less on when the gun will fire and more on the front sight and you'll do great!

[yamagoof]

@redsquirt47 You don't want to have a death grip on a handgun. You basically want to "hold" it with your left hand while keeping your right hand relaxed. Tension will make you less accurate.

[redsquirt47]

For a petite female a big issue will be hitting too high because of recoil + a loose grip. I've seen it dozens of times.

Tension will only affect your accuracy if there's enough of it that you're becoming shaky. With a .45, you'll want enough tension to combat recoil but not so much you start to shake.

What's next? You want her to hold the gun as low as she can and focus on how bad the recoil's going to be? Give me a break...

[phoMuncher]

lol nice rifle. ;]

[kittycatkimchi]

@phoMuncher thank you!

[bcoyote]

Always remember:

A bad day shooting beats a great day at work.

;-)

[kittycatkimchi]

@bcoyote I really appreciate that. I haven't logged onto my account for some time.  It's really nice to have positive feedback... especially from the internet. LOL!

[paulaabdulabdul]

u r very cute shooting your ar-15- have u ever shot a m-16

[kittycatkimchi]

no not a military issued m16.... ar15.... semi and of course California legal.

[james222333]

Is there something wrong in your life?

[kittycatkimchi]

uh no, my life is purely wonderful.

[klumzypinoy]

I never shot a gun yet. How was your first time shooting?

[kittycatkimchi]

I absolutely loved it. You should go to your local range and rent some different firearms. I actually went to Vegas and the first firearm I shot was a M249 SAW... that thing was AWESOME!!! Las Vegas... Gun Store.

[klumzypinoy]

Jeebus. I saw on TV a range in Vegas. I really wanna go to one so bad. That SAW must've been heavy :P.

[kittycatkimchi]

@klumzypinoy Well it's on a bipod and they really baby sit you... which is good... that thing scared me!!! LOL.

[klumzypinoy]

Lol I would be scared too. Oo that's really assuring. I don't wanna let the gun go flying everywhere!

[thiscouldntblowmore]

nice gun.

[kittycatkimchi]

thanks!

[Formulastreet]

you really should get a new and improve flashhider...your AR15 flip way too much.

[kittycatkimchi]

what's wrong with my flash hider? i think i need a new front sight... maybe some optics.

[Formulastreet]

Used AAC blackout flashhider. Its reduce your muzzle flip.

[kittycatkimchi]

thank you.

[esh325]

do you shoot AKs?

[kittycatkimchi]

not yet but i want to!

[alexman18]

fuck, I want a girl who enjoys to shoot.

[kittycatkimchi]

get one and good luck.

[ChocolateOfTheOrient]

wow you are a juel i have rarely been able to look down the line and see an attractive woman with an atractive gun

[kittycatkimchi]

thank you i appreciate that. i definitely love my ar. :)
