My son came home on Wednesday so we grabbed an assortment of shooting irons and went out the range at Dad's farm.
The 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser did a good job at 300 yards, but I wouldn't brag about the groups, still alot of fun to shoot.
The 6.8 SPC AR- well ny son put a 1.5 inchgroup on the 200 yard target, Mine was 4 inches. I'm still claiming bragging rights as I built the gun and the load. Dad needs all the help he can get...
The Muzzel loaders, a 50 cal Hawken (mine) and the 45 cal inline ( his) were a ball to shoot, smoke and noise and bowling pins flying all over the place.
The 1911 made a play as well and again, how do you say no to that?
It was warm and sunny, what a great day, and did I tell you about the exploding targets ? You have to try that - we used 1lb tannerite kits from a local sporting good store- and it did not take the neighbors long before they drove by to see what happened!!!
What a hoot.
Hope you all had as much fun as we did, take care.
