I have two .22LR, two .22WMR Henry Mare's Legs and a Rossi Ranch Hand in 357/38. Shooting 357 in a Ranch Hand certainly isn't plinking around but the kick isn't anything special. I do like the fact the Rossi is a gate loader.

with the weight of a Mare's Leg that is pretty much what I'd expect .... response appreciated

Just keep living through your range reports, SH.

If the darn rain would stop, maybe they could finish the work on our range and reopen it. It has been closed since April 12 and I am having some serious withdrawl problems! :cry:

I hear that, White Squirrel. I haven't been shooting since my SmokeWagon revolver malfunctioned. The gunsmith turned it around in a quick week, but it's been more than a month since I've had an opportunity to return to the range. Sometimes, life (and a stretch of rainy days) gets in the way of having fun. Tomorrow may be my first opportunity. :)

Our range was closed during the day for about nine months. Then just a couple weeks ago it re-opened and I'm getting my moneys worth.

They are soooo close to being done, but we have had rain for five straight days. Saturday and Sunday are supposed to be overcast and then five more days of rain. Considering one of the problems they are trying to fix is improved drainage, I guess they are getting to test it out as they go along.
