Does the heart good.

Went to the range today and it was beautifull. 60 degrees, sunny but not too bright and just wonderful but what made it even better was Sheslinger plugging away with her M1A Scout.

Yes that muzzle brake and pressure wave threw off some of my .22 shooting but seeing her just bang through round after round without much thought or slowing down and putting those rounds in a reasonably small shoot and see at 50 yards was just great. She just happily kept banging away and without much thought at all put them into that shoot and see. It was GREAT.

Course between her and that Scout muzzle brake on my right and DavidTDM's Bushmaster with the Y comp on my left I got a nice breeze and it made for very challenging .22LR shooting at 100 yards. M1A Scout barks and my .22 round veers right. Bushmaster barks and my .22 veers left. It was a bit nerve wracking shooting for tiny groups at 100 yards with a .22 and the two "loudmouths" on my right and left.

What a GREAT day at the range.

Well, if you will be the accelerator between two brakes...

Cslinger, I know what your problem is.

I wanted to get to the range today...family gathering( party) plans got in the way. Which range did you go to. I live in East Nash. (near the Gallitin Rd. /Briley Pky. intersection) I've been to the Cheatham range and the The one close to Long Hunter St Park...I just hated to miss such a perfect day.I know y'all had fun. Sounds like you had a real concentration challenge. I bet it made you a better shooter ...next time give the .22 to the S/O and see how she does. ( my wife never goes with me...they're all too loud). I know you had fun. I'm glad someone got to go!

cslinger,

How you feelin' now in the morning?

The reason I ask is that I remember a similar range visit a year or so ago. I'd spent a while hunched over my SSG82, squinting at the 200yd targets, and being more or less constantly buffeted by the muzzle blast from the side of the brake on rennaissancemann's AK-74. Everything was kosher (albeit slightly dizzy) until I went to bed that night, only to spend the evening curled in a fetal ball with the most splitting headache I've ever had in my life. Ouch.

WARNING! my ex lady is an audiologist, so i have been beaten with warnings.

it takes 15 minutes of extreme noise to damage your ears forever.

you can blow out your high frequecy senses VERY fast.

wild stuff though, i didnt realize someone shooting next to you could move you so much. how far apart were you? or , how far apart would you have needed to be not to feel the blast?
