Video of our end of summer shooting trip

First I apologize for how long this video took to upload, but there has been an ongoing family emergency that started at the beginning of the Summer and has taken a turn for the worst over the last month or so.  Due to that videos and blog posts have been few and far between.

I finally got the video up of Eric, Ryan, and I doing some shooting at the Indianhead Rifle and Pistol Club.  I brought my NAA Mini Revolver, Remington 870 Express Magnum in 20 gauge, Browning 20 Weight in 12 gauge, and my Remington 597 (we don't have any video of us shooting that).  It was fun, but we were all trying to rush through it due to me having to go to work that afternoon.  The last scene in the video with Eric shooting my mini revolver we were using .22 shotgun rounds or whatever you call them.  They are about the only kind of round that makes that gun fun shooting.  Other than that you can't hit the broadside of a barn with it, as you can see trying attempting to hit something with a regular .22 round in the video it is not very accurate.  I plan on making some more videos with the guns I own describing them a little then shooting them.  Here is the video enjoy.

I used my new laptop which had Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum on it and for some reason when it uploaded the video to YouTube it didn't upload the video in HD even though from what I understood I had it set up for HD.  The video saved in HD to the computer and in the program it said the video was in HD, but it didn't upload to YouTube that way.  If anyone knows how to get around this let me know, if not looks like I'm back to getting used to Open Shot on Ubuntu.  I find using Sony Vegas so far is more of a struggle to me.  The best way to describe how it works for me is this wonderful old Mac vs PC video.

Yeah that is basically how I feel trying to work with Sony Vegas.  Also Sony wtf is this Vaio Gate thing that is on the top of my screen that magically shows up when I'm up there it is quite annoying.  Alright I'm done ranting now everyone enjoy the videos.

First few days of Jared's Summer vacation: Shooting and Fishing with Eric

Well I have been back in Wisconsin for less than week and it has already been amazing.  A few days ago Eric and I decided to go shooting and fishing and it was a blast!  The guns we shot were Eric's new CZ 527 Carbine in 7.62x39, my Remington model 597 .22, and my North American Arms .22lr Mini Revolver.  We shot all the guns on the 100 yard range and then also shot the mini revolver on the pistol range.  It was fun to hit plates at 100 yards with both Eric's CZ and my .22 rifle.  The CZ is a neat gun due to the caliber and the fact you can change the pull of the trigger just by clicking the trigger forward.  We were both able to hit the plates at 100 yards with the CZ and the .22 rifle, I believe Eric did a little better job than me, but oh well.  We even tried hitting the plates at 100 yards with my mini revolver.  That thing has a 1 1/8" barrel and is basically a deep conceal gun, but Eric somehow got surprisingly close to hitting one of the plates.  Eric has a video of me shooting his CZ somewhere and I'll see if I can get it up on YouTube or something sometime.

Anyway after we went fishing on a "secret" lake in Eric's canoe and had amazing luck.  Both of us limited out on Bass and we called in Old Man Rounce to help us clean them.  Fishing in our area seems to be really good this year, if your looking for some fish to eat.  We really only caught one nice Bass, but we got tons of good eating ones.  George is back now in town from California for a few weeks, and he happens to have a new action camera for us to try out.  Since he has a new camera we have an excuse to try it out and make some videos.  Anyway we are glad to have George back with us for a while and I am soooo excited for the summer. Lastly I got a free mountain bike and just got it fixed, so expect some updates of Eric and I mountain biking if I can get in shape.  Here are some pictures of the day Eric and I had.
