Thanks, other than a flat tire on the Bronco at the range it was a great day. :)

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.......

Flat tires are a pain, but, it happens. Heading to the range today with some standard loads for my Pietta, and some loaded with Red Dot I've been wanting to try. Then, I'll switch to my .45 acp cylinder in the Pietta. We shall see.

That looks like a 4" group. Something would be dead. Great shooting!
