2/5/2011 - Microwave Heaven


Today Dad came up and we swapped the scopes on a couple of his guns.  We put my Burris scope on his 7mm Remington Magnum, and a Tasco scope on his old .243 Winchester. We wanted to test the newly installed Timney trigger on the 7mm.  It isn't quite right.  The safety doesn't work properly and it sometimes won't allow you to fire.  That is going to need some extra TLC to get it working correctly.  I brought some exploding targets along and we found an old shot up microwave sitting there.  The door had been broken off, so I set the target on the ground and then placed the microwave over the target.  Then I simply shot through the microwave and into the exploding target.  Hind-sight is usually clearer than fore-sight, and as it turns out, we were probably a little close to the target in this case.  As you will see in the video, debris was falling ALL AROUND us.  We were about 40 yards away from it, and the camera was about 25 yard away.  There was also another shot with a smaller exploding target.  That is the one with the plywood board on top of it.
