Yes and no. I live in a state park and the gun range is past the gate and over the top of the hill.
The gate is always locked.
We rent the area out to large groups like Mountain Man Rendezvous, Boy Scouts and our
state park LEOs do their annual training in there and we do a few state park activities.
Its empty about 99% of the time so I can use it just about any time.

The coolest thing we do in there is we have a huge inflatable movie screen
and a great sound system and in the summer we do drive-in movies. Its awesome.

I shot my 1964 M-29-2 for the very first time today.
Its a beautiful S&W.

Very nice revolver!
I remember when I used to be able to go out any time I wanted and shoot guns. Back when ammo was available.....a year ago.....
But I know...The Jasons' are on it. They ain't sandbagging or stockpiling....it's "Out There".....We're all just conspiracy theorists....

"A lousy shot"? Yes scratching crawlies can be bad for concentration while shooting. I have improved after I started using flea and tic shampoo.
Really? I will not show you mine, 50 yrd & 300 yrd is part of MY backyard. I have stretched it to 500 yd on a diagonal, unfortunately I have to go else where for 1000 yd. We have had minimal snow this year, just over 60", usually I will have a 13ft high in the center and about 12 ft wide pile of plowed snow on the edge of the driveway by Feb., great fun to take suppressed items, with or without Night vision ( depending on the moon ) for a little 2-3 AM shooting when my back will not let me sleep. I know photo's, tried last week for many hrs and nothing worked. Be Safe,

Thanks for a great belly laugh. I mean, sorry the hostage didn't make it out alive.

That first shot was a head shot.

That would suck. LOL
Kenny—You are like me. People have various methods like Weaver and Cooper. I went to the Pea-Eyed Parker School of Sharp-shooting.
Pea Eye Parker : [Indians have attacked Gus & Pea, on a scouting expedition, wounding both] They're gonna try sneakin' up on us in the dark, ain't they Gus?
Gus McCrae : be takin' a chance if they do, couple of sharp-shooters like us
Pea Eye Parker : I ain't no sharp-shooter. I usually miss if I ain't got time to take careful aim
Gus McCrae : 'y god but it's depressin' to talk to you, Pea.

Nice looking revolver. That target bay sure looks farther than 20 yds unless you walked closer to shoot. Use a smaller target - aim small miss small is what I've always believed. Paper plates and a sharpie dot in the center are cheap and come in different sizes. Try some .44 specials if you can find them. Neat public range.
Remember the old axiom. Unarmed non combatants are expendable.

I went to an IDPA match in 2001 where a uniformed officer showed up to compete with his carry arms.
He was the only competitor to shoot a hostage.
On the plus side he was so impressed with my Browning Hi Power he said he would start carrying one.
Good looking 29 you have there....and KUDOS for you actually practicing in this hoarding stage the country is in.

Thank you.
My close friend who reloads my ammo was a SWAT member for 15 years and a SWAT instructor for 3 years.
He always says, "KENNY!! Start at 15 feet and work your way back. Quit starting at 50 feet!!"
I tell him I have no problem hitting the target from 15 feet but find 50 feet more challenging. LOL
It would be nice if I could come in here and tell everyone that I can shoot the antenna off an ant from 100 yards with my 640-1 loaded with 125 gr .357 Magnum loads, but I can't.
I love pulling the trigger whether the bullet hits anything or not but I am extremely pleased and proud of myself when it does.
And I get the biggest kick put of shooting hot magnum loads.

Kenny , looks like a real nice 29-2 . If using 240 gr bullets , EK's mid range load of 8.5 grs of Unique makes a real nice " shoot all day load " . I would definitely refrain from shooting EK's " magnum load " using 22 grs of 2400 powder . Your 29-2 does not have the endurance pkg . The gun won't blow up , just really increase wear . I realize that you're not a reloader , but just thought a little knowledge about what's good and what's not so good for your gun might be good to know . You said you like to shoot hot magnum loads ? Regards Paul
Thank you very much for the heads up. I appreciate it.
The gun wont be getting shot much. I asked my friend to load me some hot ones so he loaded those 48 rounds for me.
I have another 50 rounds of PMC Bronze 180 gr JHP. I don't know if I'll ever shoot those or not.
I'll have Bryan load me some more that aren't soo hot.
