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

PAMac and his Son just left, we shot the little M-70 22 Hornet, a suppressed 10/22 Ruger and the old 303 British double, a fine day indeed.

Well, I got it down to what is probably a 1/4 inch or a little less and it seems fairly consistent. Before it was not consistent at all. I have a new scope coming that should let me focus on the target a little easier than the cheap one that I am using now. With the Federal 22LR's I have settled on, this rifle should be competitive. I hope....

I guess that I would agree with Gunner500 that this was a god day! I think I'm going to shoot something tomorrow too if I can catch some time between the rain showers. I'd hate for someone to think I was just hoarding ammo and not planning on using it.

took my 13 year old to trap practice today

Spent the day at the Sig Academy with some damn fine instructors and peers. Ring of Fire (literally given the heat and sand on Bay 3), The Grinder and 20 Rounds to Freedom.........outstanding day.

Okay, you win.

I did pick up that stripped lower after work. On the way home, I felt led to stop in my favorite gun shop. They had one Stag complete upper left in stock. While I was looking at it, another customer inquired about it. At that point I had to whip out the CC. Threw in a Magpul stock and buffer tube assembly.

I now have an AR to build.

We're clearing brush at our range Thursday,......I'm tuning Chainsaws, getting fuel and bar oil organized, digging out chokers and chains.

A fine young family just left a while ago, loaded down with 5-6 gallons of Peaches they picked here,.......Over tea they looked over my humble and practical arsenal, and we had a fine and lively bull session on arms, ammo, histories thereof. I think they'll be out to the Buffalo league shoots in the near future.

Traded Apples, Peaches and Blackberries for Primers, yesterday.

Life is good.

A neighbor helped me work on some deer shooting houses that were showing their age. We put a new door on one today and will work on windows tomorrow. It was only 92 but was quite muggy. I did have several firearms with me but did not shoot any. I am going to work on some 257 Roberts loads in a little while.

Worked on hanging steel targets on the new range and loaded up some test loads for the new 300H&H that I am going out to shoot now.

Last one of the day. Gave it a going over before it goes out on the shelf.

That's beautiful, kaywoodie.

A picture of my purchase today.

Holding a committee meeting to reopen our range. We closed it due to LEOs rainbowing rounds off the range. Some hit houses and one lodged in a dude's arm. It's been a long road.

Trying to sell a S&W 1911 Gunsite and and a 2004 Marlin 336y Spike horn to help finance a new home at the end of our move.

Lucky man, sounds like a wonderful way to spend the evening.

Cleaning up the toys from yesterday.

Getting hungry so 2 will have to wait till tomorrow.

Went to the range and shot my new 1911 and a 3rd generation SAA 45 Colt. I have a lot to learn but didn't do too bad. I might have 200 -300 rounds thru pistols over the years. I'm liking it so far.

Nothing today but took yesterday off and spent a good part of the day casting pistol bullets and loading some 45 acp. Just got a Lee 6 cavity 452-200-SWC mold and after getting the bugs worked out, cranked out a big pile of bullets in short order. Cheapest mold I've ever bought and casts great after a little fiddling with it. I like it well enough that I just ordered the same mold in 452-230-TC. My wheel weight stash is going down fast...

STXHUNTER, we drove around in my jeep from tank to tank, first tank we found 2 small boars in the water but no shot tree in the way, next tank nothing, next tank nice boar but he winded us and ran into the brush, next tank big red sow, granddaughter put one in its neck and knocked it down but sow got up and was staggering around so i finished it off, took pictures after we got all muddy draging the sow out of the tank. great evening. .204 aint enough gun for pigs, but its her favorite rifle. thats what grandpa's are for. rio7

I shall not, I am going to a mates funeral...he hung himself a few days ago.

I did stop by cables on the way home from work and get some 22ammo yesterday. Today after work Ill be shooting bowling pins in the weekly match at the range.
