Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What shooting sports activity will you do today?

Sick of all the Zimmerman threads on the Campfire? Me too. Let's talk about something else. What shooting sports activity will you do today?

This afternoon, I will pick up a stripped lower that my wife bought for my birthday. This will start my second 5.56 AR build. It will be an M4 configuration.

Also, I signed up the wife for a local NRA pistol class. A.V. Firearms Training It's really nice that she's developing an interest in the shooting sports since a lot of her girlfriends shoot.

The NRA instructors supply guns & ammo but I hope my wife can train with our Ruger P95DC, since that is the gun she will use.

I'll shoot my bows.

PAMac and his son are gonna land in here today, no telling what's gonna get lit up.

Well, if you count carrying my pistol as an activity, that is what I will do for SURE today.

shoot my bow as practice for a safari that I start on Sunday, in SA.

I'm cleaning brass and repairing a rifle after a 2-week trip to Raton to compete. No trigger pulling for a few days while I clean up the gear and catch up on chores.

same as yesterday, still pissin with this mountain rifle tryin to get it to feed. gonna be too hot to do much else, so might go over to my dads and reload in the air conditioning

Nothing today, but this weekend I'm going to shoot up at least a brick of 22 lr's, a bunch of .38 spec and bunch more of 44-40's with two of my three grandsons. We'll be shooting a Win Low Wall, (5 digit).22, a Model 92 in 44-40 and a Uberti 66 in .38 spec. The boys are chomping at the bit! All targets are metallic, just have to have those downrange dynamics.

I'm going to shoot my Sharps across the course from 100 to 500 yards like I do most days. I'm also going to load 10 rounds for my 45-110 with a new powder/bullet combination and see if it will group.

Even though I've got a bad cough/cold, I'm going to shoot 150 sporting clays targets at the local club with my Perazzi MX-8 Sporting. How many I will hit in this condition is another question............

Setting up a barrel in the lathe to be chambered in 7-08.

Well...provided it doesn't rain me out....about 1830 hrs. I'm gonna beat the pizz out of this white center bull from 1400 yards checking some handloads I made up a while back.

My first one of the day is installing sling swivels on a 742....

let's see got a bunch of 22's to clean including a win mod 61 takedown,a pad to put on an old single shot shotgun maker unknown, and stock to fit on a stevens pump ; better get started busy day ahead.

I'm going to load up some Trayvon Martin Commemorative rounds for my Kel Tec.

i have a five gallon bucket of mil 308 I am cleaning. My old Midway tumbler is getting a real workout. Have around eight hundred 38 Spc mil brass cleaned and am swaging the primer pockets. The weather is nice and I may set up the lead pot and cast a bunch for those 38s.

I am already wearing my 1911 as I sit here.

Nothing today. Probably not until Dove season probably.

Last thing I shot was a cottonmouth by the back door last week. Before that who knows.

Need to shoot a coyote but seem to see him when I'm on the tractor at couple hundred yards with a 3 inch 45..... I won't teach him a lesson until its a fatal one though...

Nothing today. Gotta work.

I'm setting up a Remington 504 for some informal target shooting. Hoping to get the group size down to 1/4 inch at 50 yards. I'm was down to a little less than 1/2 inch last time I messed with it. I think the real problem now, is with these old eyes I'm using and a worn out trigger finger.

Granddaughter, and me are going to the range here on the ranch to shoot her .204 and .22 , she was hitting steel 6" gong at 300 yrds yesterday with her .204, then we are going pig hunting this evening, she wants to get a pig. guess im her back up, thats what grampa's are for. rio7
