On fathers day my extended family held our annual "shootout" at my brothers house.
He has a 50 yard range in his front yard
My two brothers and I had a chance to try out our new Big Boys.
We each got one in the brass receivers in .38spl/.357mag and large loop levers.
Three identical rifles, aside from the serial numbers all on their maiden range appearances.
None had been sighted-in yet, and we didn't worry about that at the time.
Too many kids wanting to "shoot this one next uncle Derf..."
I love these shootouts.
We burned through somewhere near 2k rounds shooting at dueling trees, sporting clays, splatter targets, spinning paddles...
ending the day with a few small Tannerite-laden targets (for the kids)
I'll get the new Big Boy back to a quiet range session soon enough for a proper sight-in.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
3 Big Boys at the range

Group shoots are always a blast.

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.......

Re: 3 Big Boys at the range

Re: 3 Big Boys at the range
Nothing noted, but we weren't really wringing them out.
More of an extended function check.

Sounds like a fun day for sure.
The 357 out of a rifle is just a Hoot!
