Hello, I'm brand new to the forums here but I thought of no better place to ask my question. I'm a C-5 quad with function thru C-6,7. I have been hurt for 19 years but just found a new passion. I have recently begun target shooting at my local gun range here in Orlando, Florida. I bought an old Russian 7.62 SKS assault rifle 15 years ago out of spite when Clinton was talking about outlawing them. It sat in a closet until recently when I took it to a gunsmith and had new parts put on it. New stock, pistol grip, 20 rnd magazine etc. I put a bi-pid on it and hold the gun to my shoulder with my right wrist on the pistol grip. Then I use my left thumb to pull the trigger. At 1st it scared the crap outta me, but now I'm pretty good. In fact, my brother (who is a Lt. Colonel in the Army) says I shoot better at 100 yrds than many of his soldiers.

My question is; 1. are there any others out there who enjoy this? 2. Is there any competitions? And finally has anyone ever heared of a brace or adaptive thing to shoot a handgun?

I know, I know.... A QUAD WITH A HANDGUN !! But seriously I'd like to try. Its a definate rush.

Thanks

I thought you where looking for targets.

Target shooting and reloading (to feed my habit) are some of my favorite activities. I take a couple handguns to a local indoor range ( www.thebh.com ) where I am a member, at least every Friday after work.

I'm not aware of adaptive equipment, but I would think a glove with some Velcro straps sewn on, could help with keeping the handgun in hand. A low recoil .22 LR semi-auto, especially those with a light weight alloy or polymer frame might be a good starting point.

Virtually all the major manufactures make at least one light weight .22

I use www.budsgunshop.com and www.americanguns.com to do pre-purchase research into specs and to get a good feel for real world prices.

Good Luck...

have a look at uk spec hand guns, they have a wrist brace to coply with uk regs and have a 12 inch barrell .you could have the barrell shortend to 6 inches and just keep the brace on it, i had a taurus model 44 large frame, and it was well balanced with the brace,
worth a look is a uk spec .22 semi auto pistol again it has the wrist brace and a 12 inch barrell these are very light with no recoil again you will need to shorten the barell to a sencible length
cheers

Yes ,

I have been shooting for years . My primary game is American Skeet . I enjoyed skeet shooting before my accident and I promised myself I would return and relearn how to shoot this game from a chair . Will thats been 15 years ago and I'm still stead busting clay targets . I shoot rifles and pistols but my main game is Skeet. I reload shotgun 12-410 , rifle even a couple of wildcats, pistols if i shoot it i reload . Any questions contact me .I would love to see more w/c people shooting

I am a c5 c6 quad also but really fuction like apara. my fingers have alot of tone . I have an AR15 and beretta 9mm that i have not shot yet since my accident in may. I did shoot the public defender 2 weeks ago. thats a revolver that shoots 410 shotgun shells. my friend put it in my left hand and i rested my right arm on the counterand put my right fist under the gun to hold it up. the trigger was hard to pull but i did it, kinda scared me at first it does have alot of kick. I need to get the bipod that folds into a handle for my AR15 then i can shoot it. i held it last week andcould not hold it up and aim.
i dont know if its a good idea to let me have my AR again a quad with an assault rifle!!! btw i live in boca raton going to orlando this saturday

Hello all!
If any quads need tripods, pistol mounts, etc. I recommend http://www.beadaptive.com/ it's a pretty good site for mounts and stuff like that. I ordered my hunting blind from 'em. Their stuff is expensive, but hey, ALL adaptive equipment is expensive!

Always liked shooting and hunting.......we lived in the country so backyard pistol shooting became a way to pass time as I recovered from my injury. I got pretty good back then. Shooting of all sorts has given me many pleasant hours over the years and reloading became another hobby to feed the addiction. I now have quite a collection of all sorts of firearms which I don't get to fire as often as I would like. Another newer hobby now is buying old relics off of the auction sites and reworking them into functioning firearms again. I'm retired now and no longer live in the country so back yard shooting is out of the question. However, tinkering on an old gun in my work room is almost as much fun as shooting it when I am finished with it. Would love to have a back yard range again........
