best guess, 250 +/- rounds combined in our Henry 44 Mag, 357 Mag, and 45-70 .... another 50+ in a Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag .... who knows how many rounds of 223's in several AR's .... hundreds more 22's .... well over a 100 308's in a couple of AR's and a BLR .... several hundred 9 mm's in various semi autos ....25 +/- 300 WBY's .... yep, well over a thousand rounds ...GFK wrote:1,000 rounds. Wow! Looked like fun.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: Open Range
Indeed, it was a great day. What I will remember the most, is a family atmosphere that was there. Going down range with the kids to put up skeet, the two girls (5 or 6 yrs?, both shooters) more interested in playing queen of the hill, Jacob (9 or 10yrs?) seriously placing each target just so. Watching all three shooting with their dad's coaching ( not so much Jacob, the kid is pretty good already) with grandpa watching. Pretty cool stuff.
Of course, there was the shooting. I believe JEBar cleaned out his armory for us to shoot and his sons brought their stuff. I would say a thousand + rounds would be good guess with all the .22's going down range with goodly helping of .357 ' s from me and Jacob. I not sure which son Jacob belongs to, but his parents are doing a great job in raising him.
Like I said I really enjoyed trying out all the different guns , well maybe not the .45-70. That thing is a beast! Especially when Jim (JEBar) put some hot rounds in that not even him had shot. I nearly dropped the rifle on the recoil. He just stood there with a little grin on his face. Might be a little mean streak in that man.
It was a hoot to shoot it.
Thanks for having me. It reinforces my decision to relocate knowing I already have meant some good people.

Nice - really nice. There is little in life more satisfying (or more American) than plinking with family and friends on your own land. Well done, Jim and Mike.
