Range therapy

[mhblaw]

Thursdays are "range therapy" days, 3pm to 5pm relief from the office at our clubs indoor range. Today is 32 caliber day; a Buckeye 32-20, a Bowen custom OMBH 32-20 and a USFA convertible with the 32-20 cylinder. 150 rounds works out very nicely and home in time for the cocktail hour. Life is good.

I had a rimfire range day today. I brought a single shot bolt action pistol and 6-shot, 7-shot and 8-shot revolvers. Good times.

Outstanding.

I felt pretty good yesterday as I left the local indoor range. It too was a .22 day. I took a new wheelgun; a S&W 351PD aluminum J-frame 7-shot .22 magnum snubbie. Weighs 10.8 oz, unloaded.

To let it cool down some I brought along a Henry H001M and a .22LR Browning 1911-22.

The sights are absolutely useless on the little Browning and the matte black frame notch serving as the rear sight on the S&W isn't much better in the light I had on Lane 1... so imagine my satisfaction when shooting the .22 mag lever in the El Presidente drill I actually had sights I could use. Good times!

Wednesday is indoor .22 range day for me . Last month while setting up my newly purchased Buck Mark with a reflex sight I got an invite to a club just up the road ( not the club I belong to just down the road ) to join some other retired shooters for coffee and therapy . Coffees good but the company is better , schedule is thus , shoot guns , shoot bull , rinse and repeat ! I don't need to use a club range but theirs sure is warmer in winter !

Any day at the range is Range therapy day for me.

I love preparing for a range visit. Typically four firearms -- two handguns, two long guns, two rimfire, two centerfire. I took off at lunch and went today.

An HK-91 and M1911 for the centerfires, plus a Stevens M71 single-shot .22 rifle and a Uberti 12-shot, single action revolver. I also took along a Miroku 12 gauge O/U because I had never shot it before.

Made for a fun afternoon.

Sounds very interesting. What was it?

^ Remington XP-100?

Per the wiki, a friend of mine had one and used to use it on prairie dogs.

I need a range day. Snowed in for a week or so. <snif> Poor me. Want to wring out some el-cheapo guns I got for almost nothing a couple of years ago, never shot them. Couldn't resist at the price.

I've got to stay in DC until next Friday ,not even a good knife to play with , but when I get home to my back yard range I am going to need a lot of range therapy to relax from this place

I had another range day today (Superbowl Sunday) here in California. It was 81F and absolutely gorgeous...

Mithing a "t", there, are you?

I'm not signing this one so nobody will know who posted it.

Ooooohhhh yeah. Now that's what I'm talking about.

Ain't nothin much funner than a nice, relaxing weekend range session. The cocktail hour is good afterwards too, except beer hour is better! !

I am from the school of if there aren't pictures it did not happen.


Considering that just about every cell phone comes equipped with a fine camera that will take both stills and videos there really isn't a good reason not to shoot a few pictures. We all like pictures.
