NO APOLOGIES! If I wasn't aware of that listing already, it would have been a HUGE help.
Finally got some time in today (back yard), nothing special. Buddy came over with his teenage daughter too. She shot the AK and the AR with no big fuss. She was more concerned with the AR than the AK. Thought the AR was louder probably just where she was standing at the time we shot each one. My two oldest ones got some time in also with there Crickets. It's really awesome watching them ring the steel from 50 yards out being so young. When they hit it they look back at me with such a big smile. Last one is the babies 92 silenced of course, he walks around going pew, pew.
So why were they not wearing hearing protection? Or were you not wearing hearing protection?
Unfortunately, that's par for the course at that range. Range officer sits in his truck all day and only comes out to use the bathroom. I was wearing all my gear, hilljacks next to us weren't.
So, why were you asked to leave then?
Don't worry, I'm there with you. I've all but given up on Wilbur Wright myself too. The range dnr they have is ridiculous, seems everytime I have a day to go he's made up a new rule. Rules are a must in that environment, but so many that I feel I need to read a manual...no.
No pictures, I was worried about having fun.
Fourth of July, I went to French Lick to see family. While we were there, we pulled out my new AR, which did not go as planned. So we walked closer to the target and just shot my pistols instead. In the rain. First time shooting for my soon-to-be brother-in-laws, so I was worried about making sure everyone was safe and that everyone had fun. All in all, we shot close to 100 rounds through three different pistols. They now want to join us in the great state of Indiana and abandon Commiefornia.

Probably because they weren't wearing ear protection and got scared by the scary guy with an "assault rifle" lol

It had been far too long since I had shot anything. Went to FNS this past Friday and had a great time even if it was a tad damp out there.
I surprised myself at how well I did overall and especially on the plate rack:

Bigtanker, Harry1911, my cousin Bobby and one of the other local hamradio guys (Joe) all made it to the range this afternoon. What an awesome day for it. The weather was perfect. Everything ran perfect.
First up, and the main reason for the event was to put BT's new AR15 build threw it's places. Needless to say it ran flawlessly!!

I should have took a few pics of his target. For his first time out with the gun, and considering it's got a stock crappy trigger with a 8+ pound pull he easily shot 4 or so inch groups off hand, no steady rest. With some practice and a different trigger, I would not want him shooting at me.
Then he had to check out my AllenM built 300wm. I think it liked it.

Just ran my 44mag Henry lever gun. I put a Merit aperture sight on it last year and really haven't had a chance to spend some time getting it really zeroed in, We got it dialed in pretty well today. And I tested a bunch of hand loads and I think I have one that is going to work out really well. Thanks for spotting for me today BT! Here are a few target pics.
This was my last target at 50 yards. It took a few rounds to get there. This 3 shots. Two are threw the same hole:
Then out to 100 yard. This is where it got fun. I basically had to start over to get it where I wanted it. On at 100 yards and 5.5 inches high roughly at 50. And it's about an inch low I think at 25.
Here is the last 100 yard target. If you look at the black target there are 2, 2 shot groups above the group of 4. I was me zeroing it in and moving it down after moving it too far up. There is a flier on the right. The group of 4 is probably near 4 inches in diameter. Not to bad i think.
It was a great day! I really wish I would have gotten more pics. Hopefully BT took some to. Please post them if you have! And thanks for going today!!

You were doing great with that Henry. 5" groups at 100 yards with irons is awesome. I had a blast.
I think it's the best I have done so far. I was really please. Even my off hand shot was great.
What a good time! We have to do it again soon.
Headed to the range today since it was 50°. Took my Savage MKII and a large variety of ammo to see what it likes best. Set up at 50 yards and had sandbags for a rest. I have a fixed 4x scope atop the rifle.
Got settled in and then did 5 shot groups.
The Savage really likes the Stangers'. By far the best group. The standard velocity CCI, Winchester Super X and Armscore were pretty bad. I didn't even try my bulk ammo.
Anyway. Had a nice time. Helped a guy with a BCI Defense .300 BO. It wouldn't load another cartridge after each shot. I let him use my BCG and it ran fine. His bolt was really gritty and didn't want to rotate. So I stripped it, cleaned it up a bit and lubed it. The rifle didn't miss a beat after that.
Another member showed me a Walther Model 2 .22lr bolt/semi auto. Although I didn't know it was a semi auto till I researched it when I got home. Cool Pre-war rifle.

Did a birthday range trip last week out at MCFG. I shot almost 600 rounds through 9 pistols in about 3 hours. It was cold, but what a good time. I didn't think to take photos throughout the morning but did take a couple when I was shooting the 1911s.
