August 20th, 1860

Post by RanchRoper » Sun Aug 20, 2017 7:13 pm

Thought it was a good day for a couple more targets to die of lead poisoning. Hoping to redeem myself from yesterday but instead of a 40 mph breeze today we had winds gusting to 50+ mph. Oh well, here's a couple more 50 yd targets, 50 rounds in total and off hand standing as always (not horseback...). 1860 Henry in 45 Colt. Winchester 250 gr LFN ammo, which is my favorite. Black Hills is good too but I don't have a lot of it, only a few boxes so I save it for special occasions cuz I have to drive 2 hrs to Calgary to get it. The darn crosswind was at it again, and I tried to compensate as best I could but it was blowing pretty steady, just harder sometimes. Rifle is a smooth as can be, and puts the bullet wherever I aim so any misses are all on me. :) Enjoy....and thanks for tuning in!
ps....Badger wasn't there at the range, he was goofing off in the pasture somewhere but I needed to post a different pic of the Henry rifle so here it is just after I got back from riding early this morning. What a beautiful day!

Damn fine shooting and an excellent photo. You would fit in our 1880's chuckwagon crew like an old glove!

He's only heard it a couple of times :shock: , but I don't think he feels the same way about my rifle as I do...

Badger looks like he could use some of that cowboy caviar. Nice shootin RR. I also enjoy your post and your humorous touch along with them. I was born 100 years to late. I should of been a cowboy.
