Father's Day Target Shooting

Post by Mags » Mon Jun 16, 2025 11:02 pm

My middle son came over yesterday afternoon for Father's Day target shooting.
He brought his 30-30 and 9mm.
I brought out my Henry CCH in 45 colt, the 1858 Remington replica revolver in 45 colt and the recently acquired Rough Rider with the 22mag cylinder.
We took our time. But also didn't try real hard for accuracy. Mostly an afternoon to get out and make some noise.
Rifles were shot from about 50yds and the pistols/revolvers around 20ft from the targets.
The rifles were shot from a seating bench with an elbow/forearm/palm rest.
The pistols were shot from a standing 2 hand grip.
Some pictures.

Target on the left is me shooting the Rough Rider. First 3 shots where high and to the left moving right. After that I got them into the rings.
The target on the right is from my son shooting his 9mm.

The next 2 pictures are at the shooting tree paddles and scrap steel plate. A mix of 30-30 and 45 colt rifle and revolver.

I had forgotten how loud 30-30 is. A booming cannon!!! His ammo was Winchester 150gr Power Point.

A good time for both of us!

Could not think of a better way to spend a Father’s Day. Glad you got to get out and shoot

Sounds like a good time for you both.

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

I don't look back at the things I can't do anymore with regret, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Good deal, Mags! Reminded me that I've been meaning to take my Rough Rider to the range. I'll do it tomorrow, just before we have the annual membership meeting/pizza party.

Good for you. That's some good work plus a whole lot of fun. And I do like your tree paddle setup.

Great you got a chance to enjoy a Father's Day range funtime! It of course rained for us around here but we had a good indoor cookout.
With my Heritage 22 revolver I found it shot 22 LR tighter groups than with the 22 Mag.

Sounds like a heck of a Father's day there Mags.
Looks and sounds like a great time was had.
