Damn It Was A Good Day
Yeah. That'll do.Spent a gorgeous sunny Saturday afternoon at my gun club with commenter and good friend brad_in_ma. Much lead was flung downrange; many orange clays met a gruesome end on the berm; and despite having enough firearms and ammunition to take over a small Latin American country, not a single person was shot (I took a chunk out of my thumb with the bolt of the Remington 511, but that was my own stupidity...).
And Brad brought me beer... W00t!
That is all.

Yep, we shot an F600 match yesterday and today 140 rounds downrange at 600 yards and ALL of them were scorers (@#&%* wind drove me NUTS)! Hot, tired, sweaty but totally relaxed!
Hard to beat that selection! Short and long barrels, revolvers and autos, rimfires and centerfires; very yin/yang.
Congrats on a Good Day; may there be many more!
Jay,
Thanks for the outing and enjoy the Harpoon IPA.
The range trip was indeed a successful one. I've come to quite like Jay's 422. It is light, accurate, easy to handle and more than capable of breaking clays on the berm at 25 yards.
Note the mason jar in the middle of the pic -- when we started the range session, it was filled with 22lr cartridges. By session's end, there were barely enough left to cover the jar's bottom.
Also pictured are some standard fare - the smith model 17 revolver and the BHP in 9mm. Not pictured is the scoped remington 511 bolt-action rifle. Jay's got that sighted in well enough to knock the corners off playing cards at 75 or maybe even 100 yards. It's a sweet little boltie to be sure.
We had also intended to take Jay's bushmaster for a spin, but the rifle range was a bit busy and time ran short. I guess that means another range trip is in order.
Jay, thanks again for a fun afternoon.
- Brad
