More Gunnie Math...

The cost of my afternoon shooting today:

$1.75 in gas to get to and from the gun club.
Approximately $2 worth of middle-of-the-road .22LR ammunition.

$3.75 to sight in the Remington 511 with the new 3-9X scope. Took a nice leisurely hour shooting, adjusting, shooting some more, adjusting some more, then finally shrinking the groups.

60+ minutes of relaxing gunnie therapy for under $4. How the hell can you beat that???

(Okay, the price goes up considerably if you factor in the cost of the club membership, but that'll amortize over the year as I go more often...)

Got a chance to shoot on the rifle range; had so much fun playing with the 511 and the new scope (and jawing with the owner of the SWEEEEEEET AR-10 two lanes down) I didn't get a chance to shoot on the pistol range or the indoor range.

Shucks. Looks like I'll just have to go back, doesn't it?

I like my club. A lot.

That is all.
