Practiced the basics, doing some bullseye shooting instead of COM self defense drills with scarce large bore ammo. Our 50 acre gun club is across the street, and this way I can go as often as I want. The Buckmark from ‘87 resides in the range bag, today I added the Heritage Rough Rider 6”.

    @Polwop66 That is a dandy six shooter! I bought one for my father on his 70th birthday and it became his favorite handgun to shoot at the range. Accurate, reliable, and inexpensive (relatively speaking) to shoot all day. Have fun!

    Good for you! You shouldn't have so much time between range sessions.:)
    I hope your next range visit is next week or sooner.

    I get to go 3-5 times a week, consider myself lucky. But ammo is so expensive when you can find it, feeding the .22’s will allow me to continue to feed my need for range time. Here’s the Browning I bought when I turned 21. F1A04F4E-153A-4627-90E9-D3D147F73710.jpeg

    An excellent way to spend a day! :thumbup:

    I wish I could hit the range a couple of times a week, I’m limited to a range trip every two weeks or so :(.

    Stay safe.

    Nice slabside!

    Even when ammo was available at normal prices I always take a .22 to the range with me. I try to go 2-3 times a month, and it's not hard to blow through $50-100 of centerfire ammo in a session so switching to a .22 at some point still helps me practice but I don't feel so guilty about it.
