Saturday-The Day of 1000 gunshots...

[TheLastBoyScout]

I switched over my 1911 to .22lr... then spent 6 hours straight shooting and loading mags at the range.

Showed up with just short of 2 bricks... left with all ammo expended. In terms of straight-up round count it was at least the equal of any other 3 range days in my life

It was sunny and tshirt weather at Francis Marion national forest. I started out with paper targets, cans and bottles... by the end of the day there were no spent shotgun shells in my lane or the 2 or 3 to either side (and I was getting a good hit % on them out to about 20 yards... toss one out... bang bang bang watch it fly out too far to be seen/sighted in on)

So who else took advantage of the awesome weather down south this weekend to sling some lead?

Me too, perfect weather in central FL.

Is that place you went just north of Mt Pleasant up on hwy 17? If so I think I used to shoot at that same place (a free public place) back in the early 90s when I was in the Navy and stationed in Charleston. I remember renting AR15s from the Top Gun range up there too, good times.

I think its the same place. Its a decent distance north of Mt P, but its all highway so it goes quick.

Sounds like fun, but you should really think about shooting the bottles - the broken glass is damn near impossible to clean up. One of my dogs lost a paw pad on a broken bottle once when we were out hiking in the boonies.
