Posted: Thu Jun 01, 2017 6:34 pm Post subject: Actually went to the range!! |
|
I took vacation this week so I could get some rest and do some fun stuff. Yesterday I actually went to the range for a while. My future son-in-law went with me. He buys/sells vintage military guns.
We played with some old CZ, Walther and Manurhin pistols in .32 and .380 ACP. An old High Power too. I shot my CZ SP01 and a Springfield XDM in .45 Auto. The .32s were fun!
Then over to the rifle range to zero an AR-15 and a Ruger Scout. S-I-L was shooting a Finnish M39. A guy beside us had a nice Winchester in .38-55 and an AR-10 in .260 Rem.
Weather was nice and I only got a little sunburn. Now I just have to figure out how I can do this weekly. I'm afraid the lottery will have to be involved for that to happen.

I have my own pistol range and access to property for 200 yard rifle across the road from the house. I'm still not able to get in all that much recoil therapy as I would like or need. Damn!!

Reloading = Warmup for Recoil Therapy

I will add one more to your very good list;
Reloading - the cool down after therapy.

A friend (ten years younger then me) do 6 to 10 milers in these foothills around here.
Naw...Why would I want to make you look bad on a quail hunt? I'd shoot-em all and you would get none.
