I have the opportunity to take part in an event described as:
Would it be foolhardy to just show up at the range and give the revolver it's first go in a competition? (To my untrained eye, it looks like it is in good shape. No visible cracks and the cylinder spins smoothly. Does it still need a trip to a gunsmith?)
Is it possible that it would be so far off target the other competitors would feel I was being rude? I know the factory 38 S&W ammo I got (a pretty good deal ... the box was open) will have a different trajectory than 38-200, but I don't mind holding over (or under, I forget which).
I don't belong to the range yet (plate shoots are open to the public) and I don't want to be a jerk on my first day.
I just got my Enfield No. 2 and I have yet to fire it. I also have yet to get into handloading (maybe later this year).Informal gathering of shooting enthusiasts. Shoot at poppers, plates, dueling trees. Targets for .22lr and larger calibers. None larger than .45 and no magnums, please.
