More frequent trips to the landfill...which by the way is about a 1/4 mile from the shooting range....all good.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Figured you had a plan. Excellent shooting RR. That Universal is becoming a favorite in my two .45 Colt revolvers. 7.2gr/250gr rnfp.RanchRoper wrote: ↑Fri Dec 18, 2020 11:49 amMore frequent trips to the landfill...which by the way is about a 1/4 mile from the shooting range....all good.

There are now trash cans that tremble in fear when you walk by. Nice shooting but.

I can remember shooting rats at the local dump. Easy picking.
Too the story at hand that is great shooting and did I read that right about the 50 mph wind?

We need videos of RR steadying that big 1860 Henry in a frigid howling wind! That would be a classic.

Re: December 17th, 1885
It's been crazy windy here last week or so. That day was gusty so I was trying to pick my shots between the big gusts. Last night was like a jet engine roaring all night long. No breaks at all. 70+ mph. Kept us awake most of the night. Shooting from 1 knee I can get pretty tucked up and I am in front of a steel shooting shed while doing it so I can keep my rifle steady. Out in the actual roaring wind, it is tough to steady it for sure.

Re: December 17th, 1885
Good shooting.
I don't know if I could see a trash can lid at 250 yds with iron sights. I have never been on a range that had targets greater than 100 yds.

In 50 MPH winds I am chasing my cans and lids down the street. Did you nail the lid to the backboard?

Re: December 17th, 1885
Actually it was hanging against the backboard from a hook and rope. Thought it would bounce around but nope.
