Today's Range Report

Since Spring break came early this year I figured I'd head out to the sticks and sling a little lead.

First up was my Henry big boy 357 mag. I was shooting about 150 yards offhand and ringing steel more often than not. That's one sweet shooting gun.


Then came my new to me Ruger Blackhawk 357. I was just messing around seeing how quickly I could get hits from the draw. Today I did pretty well with that.


Last but not least, my super blackhawk. I think I'm finally coming around to being able to make hits with this one. I've been working on ironing out my flinch and have come a long way. Love this gun.


Great day to take 3 of my favorites out.

Fine looking group of firearms right there. Keep at it.

Did you wear out any of that pretty brass yet?

Thank you very much

Working my way through it, that's for sure!

Awesome threesome, Olon! I found that my flinching on my .44 Mag goes away when I shoot the 460 S&W first!

Maybe I need one of those...

Okay! Lever guns and single action revolvers! Now that's a nice day of shooting. Just add a flintlock for a perfect day.

Sounds like a great time.

I agree, my Henry 357 is a really nice shooter, and quite accurate. I was shooting at a left over clay pigeon someone had left behind on a wooden post about 300 yards away. My eyes are nothing special so that orange disk was mighty small. After a few shots I managed to knock it over. I think I hit the post and not the clay, but at that distance, with iron sights, and my eyes, I was pretty happy.

With a spotter and an 8" steel plate at a little less than 300 it was pretty consistent. It's one of my most accurate guns for sure.
