Another Range Session
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2022 12:13 pm
Shot again this morning. Set up at the berm, and shot from seven yards first as Miss Tina was planning on trying her Kimber Micro 9
We set up the target stand and I put some weight on the base. I had forgotten the spring clamps so I stapled the cardboard to the edge. The range house where the clamps were is 90 yards away. It worked. Tina loaded the new mag, and the little gun was brought to bear.
She shot about 30 rounds and at the end of her session she was keeping them in the 9 and 10 ring consistently. Nice little gun about the size of a baby glock, but a 1911 style single stack and single action. Good sights and thinner than the Glock. She likes it.
We moved back and set up a 15 yard range in the shade. I started with the Blackhawk 30 carbine. I had been told it was very manageable but had a loud boom. I had also told it was very accurate. I was shooting standing and offhand, we had not set up a table. I was impressed. Check out the 30 Carbine ammo, I included a 9mm round for reference.
After six shots, I was impressed with the accuracy offhand at 15 yards since I haven't shot for two years and THIS was my first time shooting the gun. I will certainly shoot this thing off a rest at 25 and see how it does. I expect a nice group.
Next up was the Blackhawk 357 Maximum. A real cannon. I have included a 9mm round with the 357 maximum ammo in this pic as well for reference. HUGE ammo for a handgun. I was looking forward to shooting the dang thing. I like bigga boom. (Movie Reference)
Tina shot video and Pics for the friend who sold it. She got a GREAT shot. I have it as wallpaper now.
I love this thing. I want to shoot it off the bench now and see how it will group. I put a couple in the center, but ... there wasn't really a group. I was enjoying the boom. Lastly, we shot the Uberti Birdshead 357. I just shot 38 LSWC. It was a blast, Even Tina shot that. Tina wouldn't shoot the 357 max or the 30 carbine. No pics of the Uberti, we were tired and the temps were climbing.
