    Midway USA

    I ordered some of these from Midway on 2/8, they shipped on 2/17 and I got them in the mail today. I think that for real popular items they are just about always on back-order, as soon as they get some in they ship them out. Based on this I would not hesitate to order something from Midway...

    Zombie targets or NRA targets?

    Lately I've been sticking a bunch of 1" or 3/4" dots on paper in a grid pattern, about 2" apart. Depending on how well I'm shooting I shoot at a dot until I hit it, or until I miss. This is for shooting my Single Six at 7 to 10 yards off hand.

    Why the hate on the flying brass?

    Has anyone ever been concerned about brass being thrown into their line of fire? Once the guy to the left of me was firing a Buckmark and his brass was being ejected right in front of me. Fortunately I was just about done when he started, and I just started shooting when he wasn't. I'm sure...

    History Channel's "Top Shot" on Sunday night

    Survivor with guns! I enjoyed it. The promos had me thinking it was all about trick shots, but I liked the challenges. Now to collect one of each gun featured on the show...

    Why single action?

    I bought a Ruger Single Six for my first handgun about a year ago. At the time I wanted something I would feel absolutely comfortable with, and not having the ability to just randomly throw lead downrange was a plus, not a minus. It's worked out great, I love going to the range. And my...

    August 2009 Handgun Match

    I removed the link to the one I posted, it's definitely not the same dimensions as yours, MrBorland. Well, hopefully I will make to the range soon!

    August 2009 Handgun Match

    Oyeboten, maybe the link doesn't work for you because of the file extension, not sure what an .svg file is, my browser doesn't have a problem with it but maybe some do.

    August? Any chance of an August match? Keeps me motivated for a trip to the range.

    July Handgun Match

    Here's my effort. I score it 6-1X. I'm going to blame the flyer to the lower right of the duck on the ammo, the rest I'll take responsibility for. Particularly the "X" on the turkey. :) This is with my Ruger Single Six, 5 1/2" barrel, Winchester Wildcat 22LR, indoors at 7 yards. This was...

    May 2009 handgun match!

    It's not the gun! I don't think it's the gun, but the combination of me and perhaps the ammo. Here is a target I shot at five yards the first time out with it (two handed, and I might have been leaning against a wall), these are shots 11 though 20, using Winchester Wildcats. I do want to...
