Had some low spots around the grounds to fill in this morning and of course I always bring along something to shoot
so it was the Ruger New Vaquero .45 Colt's turn today.
So after the work is done it's time for some fun and tried 6 shots at the target from 10 yds. standing and firing with one hand of course.
My first shot seems to be a flyer some times but reeled them in to the center.
Then before you leave you have to shoot the gong and this time from about 30-35 yds.
Great weather before Dorian makes it's way up the coast in a couple days!

Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Nice shooting. That's a sharp looking VQ. Distributor exclusive with that case color?

RR will like those big holes in that target. Looks like you did a great job putting them on target. But I bet you had more fun ringing that gong

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

NCG...that is just a plain ol' NV of 2005 build which was the first year on the smaller Colt sized frame.North Country Gal wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 5:48 pmNice shooting. That's a sharp looking VQ. Distributor exclusive with that case color?
The grips are walnut that were refinished by the guy I had sold the revolver to several years ago.
Glad I convinced the fellow to take another revolver I had in trade to get it back!

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
