My daughter is an October baby so last year I offered to take her shooting for her 18th birthday. She went but I had to sweeten the deal by getting some zombie targets for entertainment value.
This year we repeated the trip and took mainly single action revolvers and lever action rifles. I also got some bigger targets. To counter this, the rifles only had iron sights.
Rifles:
Marlin 336 in 30-30 with cast bullet target loads and Williams aperture sights behind a Skinner Patridge sight blade.
Henry H001 with Aguila Super Extra and Norma Tac target ammo and user filed and zeroed factory sights.
Keltec Sub2000 with Berrys bullet target loads with zeroed factory sights. This was for research, as I had 2 magazines to test.
Pistols:
Ruger 6.5” barreled Blackhawk and 38 Special cast target loads.
Heritage 4.75” 22 revolver with Norma Tac target ammo.
S&W Victory 22 with Holosun red dot and Norma Tac ammo. Research again for the new ammo type.
S&W Shield 1.0 with 147 grain RMR HMW. Also for research, as I’ve not tried this load in this pistol.
