With weather like this, I had to go again today (Sunday)! Took a buddy this time:
                     ___________________________________________________ (Saturday) A sunny ~65*, low wind. Man, couldn't be better. Approaching my 'range':  Balloons make good targets:  Long range balloons:  My "bench":  Through the sights:  Then I went on a hike. Look at these massive rocks:  Found an odd old bottle, says "Avon" on the bottom. Go fig.:  ____________ Like I said, great day for shooting! Sometimes I prefer to shoot solo, it's relaxing. Though some kids walked up on me and I think I scared the mess out of them  .

Those are balloons. Great reactive targets when there's no more tannerite left. |

I went out and blasted some today, met a few fellow shooters.
It was under 50 here so it was just right for us warmer blooded folk. I got a used Aimpoint off the EE for my para FAL and sighted that in. One guy had a PSS .308 he had just gotten. I gave him the pleasure of working the action on my Tikka Tactical. He was in awe. It was a great day I haven't been out to the range for a while. |

You have some serious windage dialed into that rifle. How much as the wind blowing?

It happens. You've never seen any other's dialed that far? Look around. Camp - check the hometown David - ear, yes. I brought eye, but left it in the truck and wasn't about to walk all the way back to get it. |

Weather was about the same here. Just a beautiful day.
Daughter wanted to go shooting. Something big. She wanted to shoot my "Saving-Private-Ryan-gun". The rest of the world knows it as the M1 Garand. This is only the second time she's ever shot it. We went through a whole belt, 80 rds. I'll bet I only shot it half a dozen times out of that. She's awful proud of her bruised shoulder.  She's a good shot when you can get her out and today was no exception. I sure wouldn't have wanted to be downrange of her and in her sights. I took my XM177-clone. It was a very good afternoon. And thanks for the ballons idea. |

Beetle, any way you could IM me the location of your range. Looks like a great place to shoot, I'm getting tired of going to the Helena wildlife management area, and not ready to pony up for a membership somewhere yet......

it's about 500 yards from where I park my truck. Sadly, for the local location inquiries, it's kind of a "private" spot, but usually if I know you well enough (either from group shoots or on here) I you are more than welcome to join. I think I'm taking a new shooter out with me today. This should be fun. PCSutton - yep, brought the bottle home  (there's also TONS of petrified wood around the location. I wonder if it's worth anything.

It is not the wind or the rifles. You both have lopsided heads

Very nice. Do you bring the shooting bench with you or just leave it at the range?

Nah. Look at the sling. M/N slings attach on the side of the buttstock and the side of the barrel, IIRC. |
