I first shot the Ruger 44 magnum revolver at Shooter's Emporium in Escondido. That was in March 1983. I didn't track down another indoor range until August 1999. The owner of Shooter's Emporium is reported deceased and that facility is closed.
I live in Idaho now. No silly politicians working night and day to write anti-gun laws. The outdoor range costs me $40 per year for unlimited use. The practical limits are time available and suitable weather. I like to shoot paper targets at long ranges. My best rifles will let me put 10 rounds through a single ragged hole at 100 yards. That can only be attempted on a calm day. Those are rare. I take steel spinners to the range on windy days. My favorites are made by Douglas Precision. My favorite spinners are 10" diameter with a 2" trapdoor in the center. A hit on the trapdoor sounds very different from a strike on the outer disk. Spinners are reusable, don't make a mess and are suitable for multiple shooters.
I’m shocked!
The target range I went to is only open on weekends for regular folks like me. And I think there might be only one other in the area (central CA).
I never heard of spinners before. I’ll have to ask my local gun dealer about them. I need to go visit with him anyway as I think he might be in charge of the other target range I mentioned.
Boy, your shooting abilities are impressive. Do you compete professionally by any chance?
