I have a blast when I take a few others and their guns to the rangen. Lots for everybody to shoot, but it can get expensive. A few years ago, a stranger at the range let me shoot his benchrest gun. It made me look good, so I had to go out a get me one.

Great minds think alike:-) We ran through some rounds on the PT-145 and the SW Mod 1; then had grilled burgers. Nice afternoon.

There were three guys down the range a bit from us using a hand trap. They were shooting a bolt action .410 and having a blast. The hand trap wasn't fast so they were probably hitting about 50%.

Stuck in Mexico.

I did get out last weekend to re-sight my AR w/Aimpoint and my rebarreled 10/22.

Should be home this weekend to burn up some ammo with the kids.

I finished setting up my Second Amendment Workshop for reloading and maintenance. Now I can spend time at the range!

I got out last weekend shotting a Mark II and my father in law’s High Standard Citation. Lots of fun.

Any excuse to get outside is good. Actually, yesterday, my wife had me doing yard work.

I usually go shooting on Sundays. However, here in western Pa it was NOT a nice day to go plinking or any other kind of shooting. It was cold with rain here and there. I didn't make it... Grrrrr.....

My youngest daughter and I took our 22s for a walk in the woods(she has a plinkster and I just picked up a MKIII with a 5.5” bull barrel). The kid is a natural sharpshooter.

For anyone traversing I-95 in Florida, Sebastian has a public range that is absolutely great.
BB pistol, BB rifle, Pistol, Rifle, Skeet, Archery and Archery pop up.
Better than most military ranges I’ve been to.

Spent time learning to assemble an ar15 lower. Then snapped on an upper and took it for a test drive. I was happy to hold a minute-of-asshat on B-27 target at 150yds. That’s good for an old guy on iron sights, and a 12.5” barrel.

Shot around 300 rounds through my Sig Mosquito and then about a 100 through my Sig P220...it was a great day for the range. Not crowded and very relaxing :)

I am having a bout of Plantar Fasciitis so can't do much walking which gets me out of the yard work. However the range has nice level surfaces to walk on and the distance from parking to range is less than 100 yards.
