The Wife and I made it to the range today, it was pretty crowded because it was closed for 2 weeks.

Sky Plant Tree Building Vehicle
Had to park pretty far and still climb a steep hill once we got there.

Wheel Plant Tire Sky Automotive tire
Was glad to have this little cart of mine that carried 10 guns and 13 boxes of ammo.

Window Plant Tints and shades Shade Rectangle
I started shooting at 7 YDS.

My Wife started at 7 YDS but after the first round let me talk her into moving to 3 YDS.

She started with her 38 SPL and shot until the powder fouling made it difficult to open the cylinder then went to her Shop Keeper.

Sky Art Billboard Gas Grass
After her Shop Keeper, I talked her into shooting my 32 H&R Magnum and she had fun realizing her fear of a big gun was unfounded.


All shot Standing.

Font Parallel Circle Slope Rectangle
Tested Glock with a KKM Barrel with 230 GR lead bullets. 1 FTF in 50 rounds. My 45 ACP Flex Hone showed up today might just fix the issue.

Changed barrels and ran 50 HDY HAP 230 GR rounds through the Glock, fun, fun.

She got used to it pretty quick, lobbed off 25 rounds. :cool:

THAT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT DAY AT A BEAUTIFUL FACILITY. Color me green with envy. Nice job documenting with pictures! You are shooting well and really dialing those guns in. You might need a motorized cart to haul everything in from the parking lot though. ;)

You're gonna have to step up your reloading game now that she "likes" it ...

Only a short jump from 32HR to .357mag light loads for the Mrs. and then you won’t have to haul quite as many guns up the hill!
Also, I’m never going to complain again about not getting a parking spot close enough to the front door of the range office after reading your post!

PS. looks like you’ve spiced up your Dalton with some stags, who made them?

I like to see other people that send a LOT of round down range when they shoot. I have invited people over to shoot and they show up with a box of 50 rounds. I just think well you are going to be board in under a half hour.

Had a buddy stop by yesterday and we got his 223 sighted in at a 100 yards, I tried out 4 different loads for the Alaskan and even played with the Rigby a bit, trying to find a good groundhog load since TrailBoss is impossible to find anymore. 62gns of IMR4895 not causing hang fires so might be the new light load.

Too much BSing I did not get the M.O.A. pistol out of the truck to see if it liked its new load or not. I shot under my water jug and it just cracked so did not get to pop anything. That is what I get for only taking 1 jug to pop I guess.
