What did you shoot today?

Shot Nelson Conversion at Speed Steel match.
Many misfires, no speed.
After I got home and put it on the bench, I found the loose screw. Cleaned and tightened, will test tomorrow.
 
This yesterday...

My new Kimber Rapide 45 ACP.
Sweet sights, fit my hand after I filed and polished the thumb grove a little larger to fit that knuckle.:)

Will be a while until it is broke in as I have less than 200 rounds on hand. (My first 1911)
May have to "bite the bullet" and purchase some ammo from them scalpers on an auction sight.:eek:

I need the practice!
 
S&W Victory
Canik TP 9 SF ( usually my carry piece )
Dan Wesson 14-1 / shot some .38 spl that I loaded.
Ruger 38-40 (not mine)
 
Hi...
Spent this morning shooting clay birds at the gun club with my son in anticipation of the upcoming pheasant season. Probably shot a hundred rounds through my Winchester 12ga autoloader and Ithaca 12ga pump gun.
Started out shooting poorly but by the time I finished up I was shooting much better.
Left there and went to the other gun club to shot handguns and pistol caliber rifles at steel plates.
Shot 5-6 magazines of .45ACP through my Springfield Armory and Colt Commander in .45ACP at 7 and 15 yds. Did very well.
Then I switched over to my new to me S&W 27 and shot about 40 rounds at 7, 15 and 25 yds. Really starting to like this revolver.
Then I shot about 100 rounds through my .41Magnum revolvers...two BlackHawks, a Model 57 and a Dan Wesson.
Finished up the serious shooting by running about 40 rounds through my blued Virginian Dragoon that I bought earlier this year. Mostly breaking rocks on the handgun range berm.
I finished the day up by shooting about 100 rounds through my knock off Heritage (Kimel Ind.) .22Mag revolver and then about another 100 rounds through my Dan Wesson .22LR revolver.

All in all...a pretty good day of shooting for a broken down worn out old man.
Lots of brass to process, especially considering that my son shot at least as much revolver rounds as I did plus he shot a large amount of 9mm and 10mm(at least 200 of 9 and probably close to 50 rounds or more of 10mm). He also shot more .45ACP than I did... probably twice as much.
 
OP: you mean Gun or so-called Target? Today the Czechpoint/CSA VZ-58. Tired of freq. visits to the club, went to a branch of small local river (high banks & unused land to the southwest) where people shoot now and then.

Targets? Short chunks of smallish tree limbs I threw into the sluggish, low water. One of the nice parts is simply sitting on a quiet, :) wooded riverbank . This can beat the shooting club, though it's only 12 minutes away.
And no signs have ever been posted about anything. Parking just off this nearby rural road is very simple.

full.jpg another .22 day, plus a little 9mm Taurus TX22, Beretta Neos, and Sig P365. There was some other guys there shooting a full auto m16 or some sort. First time I've been around a full auto. They killed 200 rds in a few minutes and even let a lady that was there shoot a mag with it. Then one of the range guys brought them the full auto Glock for them to try.

Kinda want to check it out but didn't want to be that guy

Well i meant something that fires a projectile... But target description can be fun too!

Used to shoot an old 30" diameter dead elm. One day the SKS finally broke through and the tree fell over.
 
Didn't shoot it but reassembled a friend's 10-22 after her brother-in-law took it all apart so he could clean it for her. He lost the buffer and then couldn't get the recoil spring/rod back together with the bolt.
I just left a message for her to pick it up and to bring the scope I had previously mounted and sighted in AND the magazine of he didn't lose that.
Next time, being it to me first.
He must be a mansplainer.
 
Old buddy of mine has a JC Higgins branded Marlin 80. Its in a beautiful tiger stripe wood stock of some sort. Paid a whopping 150 bucks, with a scope, a few years ago.
Ya, I think thats about I paid. Rescued it from a pawnshop maybe a decade ago, complete except for the sight aperatures. Its one of my very favorite rifles.
