We had a great time and enjoyed meeting Rebel, jrbfishn his son and another guy and his son. Will go again! Bastards convinced me to buy more pistols though!
I'd been looking at a Ruger Mk 2 3 4... and the walther P22.... Yeah I'm getting both.. they're just nice fun pistols. Got to shoot some real cool guns today. GF did too and she was talking about jrbfishin's black powder gun and rebel's rifle a lot of the trip home. She had fun. I think her CC pistol is going to be a walther P22 she really liked that gun.
Ok, time for the range report.
Started out drizzling when I was loading the guns in the car today. Half afraid it would get rained out. Stopped on the way to get ice and it quit. Ground was barely wet at the range but still looked like it would rain so we set up on the pistol range. Had a nice cover in case of rain but it only sprinkled a couple of times for a few minutes.
Darkpriest and his lady showed up shortly afyer I got the targets up. Rebel showed up shortly after as well as Travis, a long time customer from work, showed up with his 8 year old. Good kid. Actually knows his way around the range and was great to have and easy to help. As well as eager to try things. Don't think he had to be corrected at all today.
Travis helping his son shoot a reduced load 12 gauge and the boy shooting reduced black powder snake loads in an 1858 Remington. Did pretty good too. He liked shooting the Walther P22, but really had fun with the Heritage .22 and Henry lever action.
Darkpriest and his lady, Lexy, shooting the black powder. Wonderful young lady and a pleasure having at the range. Eager to learn and try new guns. Did not get a pic,but shot Rebel's 1907 as well as every other pistol we all brought. Did pretty darn good too.
Some of what I brought. I think everyone, including the youngster got to try all of the things I brought including the .22 rifles not in the pic. My ammo cans where significantly lighter on the trip home. I hope that means everyone had fun. Included is a pic of a VERY small amount of the mess we made with brass.
Guys, it was a real pleasure to shoot with everyone today. Very nice to see Rebel again, it's been a while. As well as to meet Darkpriest andd his lovely lady, Lexy. Hope y'all had as much fun as me.
It's a pretty good setup. That range we were on was nice because it has some tables and a covered area right before you walk onto the range so we had hotdogs and sat around and talked for a bit. It would be really good for get togethers.
