Finally made it to the range today
« on: October 09, 2010, 01:21:11 PM »
I had to share.  Went to the range today for the first time in months.  I took the Evil Roy single action and the M1 carbine.  Since replacing all the springs in the carbine this spring, I had not had it out to see if it still works.  Also, I really missed shooting the SAA.

First stop was the pistol range.  I was a little rusty, but it felt so good to send some stress and anxiety downrange.  Having the range to myself was nice, too.   :)  Anyway, after spending some quality zen time with the revolver, it was time to head to the rifle range.  While putting my gear into the range bag, I noticed a small sheet of bb gun targets, so I put 2 of them up on the back stop, put 2 rounds of .357 into the revolver, and shot from 10 yards free hand.

This was the result:

Not a bad photo for a cell phone.  Working for a camera manufacturer, that makes me feel secure.   :)

I know most of you guys are thinking "So what, big deal.  I can do that with my eyes closed."  Well I can't, and I wanted to share.  I'll try to post about my experience on the rifle range later.  Now it's chore time.

Thanks for your time.

I think you did darn good.    I know I couldn't do that, especially with a single action.

Glad you had a good week as well.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Good shooting!  SAA is always more fun and accurate for me.

Thanks for the kind words, all.  I only hope it isn't several months before making it back to the range.

Love SA shooting. Gave it a go for the Gunman 1911 Contest. Those .45Colt's are a dandy round for me.

The Vaquero .357 is next. ;D

Nice Shooting!  I'd love to try .45 Colt, but can't get past the price of ammo.
