Range Report: daily plinking

[Hatchdog]

Love my Oboz best shoes I have ever worn.

They give the best arch support of any shoes I’ve worn. I currently have five different Oboz although four are two pair exactly the same. I switch between the same kind pair so they get an extra day to dry.

The five pair doesn’t include two older worn out pair like the ones in the picture. I save them as mud shoes.

I’m surprised the mud didn’t suck those shoes right off your feet.

The muse actually did a few times.

These gongs are sure a lot of fun. The traps were way to big to challenge myself to make it fun. The larger gong is about the same size as the traps but the smallest gong makes me concentrate.

I shoot rimfire offhand at 35 yards mostly. Sometimes I’ll get back to 50 but the van can’t be parked in the driveway.

Well if you really want to concentrate get some empty 12ga shotgun shells to plink at thats a lot of fun

I would need to be bench shooting to have a chance of hitting one.

Amen and with a powerful scope too. (Me)

Well just move up a bit closer as nobody watching and it is just great fun!

Did a little afternoon gong plinking this afternoon. Took the Rossi 45 colt out for a little spin. These 250 gr MB co rfn over 8.5 grs of unique and I was slapping all the steel. Hardly missed even the 4" ones. Found 20 195 swc's that were loaded over 6.5 grs of Red dot and could only hit the bigger gongs with them. But I did move farther back, to the picnic table, but was also leaning on one elbow while earlier shooting just offhand.

Some of that Brazilian mystery hardwood.
Looks better than that funky factory stain they applied.

Randy, are those electronic earmuffs? And yeah, you called that right; Brazilian mystery wood. It works tho!

[Vaquero]

No sir that particular is not. I do have a set that work great, but the batteries seem to run down quick. But, I have been known to forget to turn them off sometimes.

[Sir Henry]

I shot more today than I have on any single day in years. I started plinking with a Henry SGC and the went to a Henry Mares Leg and then shot the most with the Ruger Charger Mares Leg. I’m guru shoe about 300-400 rounds in the 27F weather. With the full sunshine and absolutely no wind it actually felt warm after the 3F night.

Note: guru shoe act means guessing.

[Vaquero]

I like that revolver there.
What cal. is the Mare's Leg?

RP

[North Country Gal]

That is an impressive bunch of guns for a single range session. Glad you got, especially with the big storm heading our way tomorrow.

We might get up to a foot. Timms Hill gets about the same weather as Rhinelander except it’s much windier.

[Vaquero]

The 410 Axe, now that's neat. How many does the mag. hold?

Five 2 1/2” shells. It’s a blast to shoot.

Good morning, about to have a late breakfast then I'm going to sling some lead from a couple of the straight walled rifles.
255 gr 38-55 vs 325+gr 444.
