At the Armijo Springs get together last week a new first for me occurred.

On our "pistol range" we had steels set at 125 and 167 yards.

Well...

With the Ruger Old Army loaded up I managed to nail the 125 yard steel off hand with a round ball.

It was awesome hearing the clang as all the smoke filled the air.

BP substitute and a round ball made my day!

Aw heck bcolorado, I hit that 125 yard clanger all the time. Of course, I'm using a rifle and a bench - but I don't see that big a difference. grin

Well done my man. That had to make you smile.

My normal "therapy" spot has a 30-40 yard range so this was the first time stretching the Ruger.

Sounds like I missed a good time. When I go out shooting with my buddy, we sometimes stretch out my .357 and his 41 mag to 150-200 yrds. He is much better at that than I am. grin


Only a dingleberry, not yet a Turdlike person, maybe someday!!!
