Did you go shooting today (Pic thread)

[t1066]

Got in some range time today.

I need to work on my upper body strength.

Also, I think my rear sight is slightly tilted. May need to find a good gunsmith to check it out.

No pics, but not horrible.

And I need shooting glasses with a cheater lens. I can't get focus on the front sight anymore.

Finally made it to the range with my self-assembled AR. It functions reasonably well. The users can probably get a fair amount better with it. For about $6-700, I'm very happy with it, and now I have all the tools I need to assemble another one!

I'll try and remember to get pictures the next time.
Biggest take away, if I want to shoot more than 50 yards away, I probably need a better sight. I got a cheap $50 one that is adequate, but I wasn't able to get my eye close enough to get the full sight picture. (And I need to make sure it is locked down and not rattling around before trying to zero it in.)

But it is an AR, and for the uses I'm likely to need it for, it is decent enough.

Hit my local PGC range to knock the dust off of my hunting handguns.

14"T/C Contender in .44 Magnum.


First shots were low, then adjusted too high. Last group was dead on!



14" T/C Contender in 7-30 Waters.


Couple of low shots were me, the rest....dead on!

Nice, use to have the super 14” in 7-30. Was a great shooter.

Made it to the range yesterday. Took my friend from NJ, who I helped when he decided to buy a gun there. He wound up getting a CZ (not sure of the model). But since he wasn't going directly to the range, we shot my Sig P229. Other than catching my pinkie between a magazine and the mag well, it went pretty well. Targets are at 5 yds, 7 yds, 10 yds, and 25 yds. This was also my first time shooting with magnifying shooting glasses. I could finally see the front site clearly, but the target was fuzzy. My friend also found he liked the Sig's trigger better than his CZ's.

No pics but my son and I both got to shoot a muzzleloader for the first time, and he shot clays with a 12GA shotgun for the first time, the first guns over a 22 that he's ever fired. Did great with both, hit the target in 1 out of 3 shots from about 15 yards with the muzzleloader. I only shot it once, about a quarter an inch to the right of the bulleye.

We also threw hatchets and shot archery. He was the only person out of 37 boy scouts and adults who stuck a hatchet in the playing card and had the high score...as a first year scout. Proud of the boy.

Camped in a freaking monsoon too.
