M1 Garand and Dogs

Back on the farm for the holidays in the Cache Valley of Utah and I brought my Garand. Time for another video and more practice whenever I can get it, so here it is. Not a whole lot to it, but I hope you enjoy the camera angles and the dogs! Happy Holidays!

-Mr. 2nd


Film notes:

Some people have been asking me how I get the camera angles and the answer is simple; I don't have a rig or mount, I just use electrical tape and fasten it to the rifle with a piece of cloth or cardboard between the camera and rifle so no damage is done to the weapon. I also use a tripod for the off-rifle shots. Storm and Huskee are the dogs, both very friendly and great on the farm. You just can't beat an afternoon with man's best friend.

How do you get the camera to stay facing you half way up the barrel???

@slyde77

The real secret to all my crazy camera scenes is electrical tape. It doesn't harm the guns or the camera and it's great.

great video, the dogs don't seem to mind the shooting.

[Mr2ndAmendment]

@iamin2pain

No they really don't. In fact they always come running out when they hear gun shots. They like the company, but the black lab is a trained hunting dog. After every shot she's looking for something to go retrieve. The Husky is the friendliest dog you're ever get to know, he's always just happy to be around. I love dogs, they truly are man's best friend.

@nbenicewicz

For that I am not sure, you would have to research it.

[nbenicewicz]

@Mr2ndAmendment I could shoot .22s but they're not very fun.

BTW what is the price of land like where you are?

[Mr2ndAmendment]

@nbenicewicz

We don't have that kind of legislation (that I know of) in these parts but I would image you could be fine with at least a .22 on 7 acres but if it's the law then it is the law.

[nbenicewicz]

@Mr2ndAmendment I live on about 7 ares with my parents in Danbury Connecticut and apparently in CT the minimum acreage to shoot is 10 acres. There is also apparently an ordnance in Danbury that you can't shoot within the city limits.

@nbenicewicz

No problem. In many parts of rural America, shooting guns is usually an everyday thing. Every day you can hear gun shots in the distance, it's just something everyone does. You can shoot on your own property, especially with the amount of land everyone has in these parts.

[nbenicewicz]

@Mr2ndAmendment Well I was just wondering what the laws are like in regards to shooting on private property. I was just curious as to what the minimum acreage is required for shooting on private property.

Sorry for the way I wrote this I didn't know how write it any other way.
