What did you do at the range lately?

Went to the trap club. Opened up the trap house and met this guy.

It slowed us down a little but we all had a good time. This time of year it's always a good idea to look before you enter.

He lives less than a mile from me and he and his sons and grandsons farm hundreds of acres nearby. He mentioned he and his grandson, who I also learned is an FFL dealer, had built a range in one of their fields. I asked him if it was in a particular location (because I'd noticed it last week where no range was before)...he said that was it. Jim also mentioned his grandson had got him a new AR but he hadn't been able to shoot it because he can't find ammo.

Later in the morning I rounded up 500 rounds of 5.56 ammo and went and dropped it off at his house. He asked me how much? I said, "Well...will that buy me a little time on your range?" Apparently it will. I now have permission to visit his range and use it any time I want to. Which is a good thing because there's not a lot of no public land in OK where you can just go out and shoot.

Side note: I met Jim's son, Scott, at the coffee shop the first morning after I arrived in town. He asked if I needed help and offered to round up all his brothers and adult sons to help me unload the U-Haul. Very, very nice family.

So, that's what I did at the range today.

Basic range but no dummies to contend with and I have plenty of steel and other targets to jazz things up a bit:

And, when I miss, I have the perfect, built in, excuse: "The sun was in my eyes!"

Test fired my new AR 9 pistol build. Dead on with that optic. Fires nicely but aluminum ammo had a few hiccups.

The .223 Savage I bought for $74 at WM a couple of weeks ago shot nice at 100 yards. This is 45gr ammo. Now I want to take it out 300 yards or more.
Dragonmans today because other ranges were closed. Not to crowded for a holiday.

Threw together a stand last Sunday to hang steel plates on rimfire range in back yard.

Need to hunt down some rubber or fire hose straps to replace chains.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a4d5f60678.jpg

Which model was the savage?

Two "new to me" pistols not long ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbtaKJW-snQ&t

The CZ P-10F OR had some problems with handloads (bullet depth was the problem, flat point, and an aftermarket barrel), but when using factory ammo, she ran like Rosie O'D going for a donut.

The P365XL NRA is a powerhouse for a micro compact - dang, what a shooter too! She sang like Cher trying to "turn back time".

Getting my 10/22 all set up for appleseed, and practicing using the loop sling during standing.

20 rounds standing a couple weeks ago, no loop sling (was using hasty sling)
