Range Report: daily plinking

[Sir Henry]

I didn’t shoot this morning but I did shoulder two rifles. One had iron sights and the other one was scoped. I can shoot right or left handed although I’m left eye dominate. So I naturally shoot from the left. My left eye was done yesterday so I just had to try it. Even though I didn’t squeeze the trigger I can tell already it’s going to be a huge improvement.

I'm very glad to hear that Gene. I'm glad both surgeries were successful!

[Sir Henry]

It’s barely been 48 hours since my left surgery but everything seemed fine so I shot ten rounds of quiets.

I’m not sure how it’s possible because I can see better out of my left eye after just 24 hours. My right eye is 20/20 and my left seems to be slightly better.

Since I don’t have to wear glasses I bought a pair of uncorrected blue light glasses.

Todays plinkers we’re both Mare’s Legs. The first one was one I shoot a lot. This time I shot shorts in it because I can load it with 15 rounds. It reduced the number of times I stepped inside to reload although I loaded it twice outside. I’m beginning to shoot a little more serious as my vision now deems it possible.

I’m not supposed to be shooting so soon after surgery but I thought shorts would be okay. Then as I was putting the 22LR ML away this one caught my eye. It’s one I made from a .22LR ML and a .22WMR Frontier. It’s the only .22WMR with an octagon barrel that I know about. Henry never made one so if there is another someone had to make it like I did.

I plinked again today throughout the day as I worked around the homestead. I was shooting the Charger Mare’s Leg and tried to hit the spinners at 35 yards. I hit them a few times but missed a lot more than I hit.

Be careful not to strain those "new" eyes.

Walked over on the farm this morning where I have a 10" gong hanging. It's 100 yds from a little make shift bench I have setup.
Took the Rossi 357 and 12 rounds, walked pass the bench to the 25 yd target. Put 7 rounds in the tube and offhand I hit the gong 5 out of 7, put the other 5 in and hit it 3 out of those 5. So 8 out of 12 at 75 yds.

That’s awesome offhand shootin’ Randy.

[Sir Henry]

I bought two plastic cases that holds six ten round 10/22 magazines. I don’t use the tens much as I also have a lot of fifteen and twenty-five ones. The BX-15 are my favorite although I generally only load to ten.

Today I shot all three capacities loaded full.

[North Country Gal]

I've never used anything but the 10s. I may try the 15s. Thanks for the tip.

[Sir Henry]

Forgive me forum it’s been ten days since I’ve plinked. Today I brought out the New Model Single-Six although my pistol target fell off the post it was on. I tried at 35 yards and didn’t hit anything except snow and earth.

Hey, you can blame the cold and all the new snow. Still beats not shooting.

[daytime dave]

Nice looking Ruger and tractor Gene.

Thanks Dave. I’m getting fairly good at scooping and plowing with it.

[fortyshooter]

Time for a rifle rack on the ol' tractor for plinking on the run! I need to bring my lawn tractor home from my range for some maintenance and will be making a roll bar/ chain saw/ gun holder for it and most likely for something small like the Ranch Hand.

On a side note I saw a brand new Ruger Single Six with the mag cyl for sale at the local gun store where I live for a whopping 750.00. My jaw hit the table

Last I saw a Single Six near me, that was the going rate. You might get one down near $700 but it will show signs of use.

[North Country Gal]

I agree, Paul. According to my LGS, Ruger is just starting to ship revolvers again (other than the Wrangler) after very low production numbers for the last few years and they ain't cheap. They had just gotten in their first Redhawk in four years at price was 1K. Also a Ruger Alaskan 44 mag for $1100.

Went out shooting today with one of my friends here in the park. We went to the Corpus Christi gun club. I have a winter Texan membership there. Had a great time not only shooting clays on the bank but chasing shotgun shells around on the same bank. I took a couple photos one of the 22 with my new Holosun sight and the bank we were shooting at. The Ruger really likes Mini Mag target 40 gr and Remington Golden Bullet 36 grain hp

We were shooting at about 20 yards from the bank
