I bought some steel plates back in the spring. Very often I have a few minutes before dark that I can plink for a few minutes. Many times, by the time I gather some cans and set them on a bank, or find targets to tack up, either the light is about gone, or like today, I get soaked with sweat just getting ready. The plates/discs are hanging there, ready to shoot. At 7:45 it was 91*, 70% humidity, and not a breath of a breeze was moving. I wanted to shoot, though. I grabbed the old stand-by Model 15-3 and a Model 12-2 I have had for a year or two, but have only shot once. Both 4". I hied forth to the backyard range in the golf-cart, sweating like a sharecropper signing a fertilizer note, and banged away at the discs. Very satisfying to hear the results. I fired three cylinders in each gun, two of some 4.6 grain Unique/158 grain swc, and one each of some 2.8 grain BE/148 grain wc. Very satisfying. Ain't it amazing how those old K-frames shoot?

I'll do it again tomorrow.

I love it. I am fortunate to be able to shoot from my back yard also. I have never shot at an indoor range. I have been known to shoot out of a window when it rains (no wife :D) My two dogs are not crazy about the noise but it is what it is.
