Fall Shootout 2023...

Post by fortyshooter » Mon Oct 02, 2023 6:47 pm

Well some great Fall weather today so me and 2 friends had our own little shootout along with some hotdog grillin'. New man Dave used to do Cowboy Action shooting until he had health problems a year ago but he has regained health and wanted to shoot his new Henry 177 lever rifle.
He got it dialed in and had a great time plinking the targets with it and a Uberti 1873 Carbine 45 Colt with short stroke action.
I had my Henry 45 X with the suppressor attached and they were amazed how quiet it was until the 255 gr. bullet hit the steel! Buddy Richard handled the grill with some great hotdogs and drink when we took a lunch break. We have some bears running around the area as my neighbor David saw one on his trail camera last week so I told Richard he was on his own if ol bear came running looking for a hot dog or two! :lol: Had a great time today! :D

It sure looks like it was a nice day.

Pretty interesting about bears. My stepson's friend caught a picture of a bear on his trail cam. It's only about 10 miles from my place. Unusual to have them around here.
