What a range day...

[rwsmith]

Weather fine, drove a couple of hours to meet up with a friend but it was well worth it. My main object was to sight in my two ARS. Got my red dot site shooting out bullseyes at 25 yards with a few tweaks. The peep sight was close but could use one more session.

Now the really fun part. My friend brought his new 1938 Luger and we put a few mags through it. It came with an original holster and only has a tiny bit of blue worn on the muzzle. He blamed me for 'making' him buy it and I didn't object.

He also picked up a Spanish Mauser and I found some ammo for it because he blamed me for making him buy it. It was a blast, though.

He'd also picked up a Glock and I shot it. I DIDN'T LIKE IT. It hurt my hand and felt 'big'.

A real highlight was shooting his .30 carbine. I've always wanted one, but surprisingly my wife even liked it and said we should save up for one.

He liked shooting my SKS about as much as I did. I like those a LOT better than AKs.

I'd include some pics but my camera crapped out, but I guarantee it DID happen.

What a GREAT DAY!

Ivan the Butcher. I'll be your huckleberry. Where do you want to shop?

Not much better than a day of shooting with an old friend!

Any place with reasonable N-frames! Looking for a 45 Colt 25 or 625.

We have a couple of family get togethers at our home in Michigan every summer and we always try to schedule a trip to the local range while we are there. I always bring my Inland M1 carbine, it is the favorite of the crowd. Everybody loves it, light weight, low recoil and just plain fun.

Since I am the acting master of ceremonies I bring most of the different firearms we shoot and the majority of the ammo. I am always on the look out for reasonably priced carbine ammo to keep the horde supplied.

After you visit Ivan could you come back through Gettysburg and make me buy some guns on your way home?

I don't usually have a problem buying guns on my own. Now, if someone want's to stop by and buy me a gun, lets do it..

I also had a great range day yesterday even though I was by myself.

Nobody else was there so I took my time setting up my tarp and targets. It was a bright sunny day in the mid 40's which is about as good as weather gets this time of year in central PA.

I have a pretty good stock of ammo but being mindful of the fact it may be hard to replace I've cut back a lot on how much I shoot. Instead I'm concentrating more on making each shot count. I set my targets at 15 yds for the pistols and shot two mags each through the .45 and 9mm, then shot half a mag through the AR at 100 yds.

My shots were pretty dang accurate by my standards and it was nice to be out in the fresh air doing something I enjoy.

The range is only about 10 miles away so I try to get there once every week. I scout the weather reports for the best day and always look forward to range day.
