far, far too long since I spent a day at the range. I wentyesterday with partner, just hoping to a: Make sure the sights on the squirrel gun were OK, and b: get a good couple hundred rounds through the AR. <\/p>\n
I did ok on all counts, and even managed to get to shoot Partners Springfield 1922 training rifle. <\/p>\n
Wow.<\/p>\n
I mean. Wow. Well, I guess it make ssense, the rifle is for all purposes full sized but with a tiny bore, so it’s like a heavy barreled target rifle. And Partner’s rifle is so beautiful it’s not funny. <\/p>\n
I put a couple hundred through the AR to make sure it was going to be OK, and it is,. It shoots a little high but I didn’t even bring a pair of binoculars. I didn’t want to see how well it would shoot, I wanted to see how well it ran, and it ran perfectly. I also accumulated a BUNCH of brass, guys to the left and right of me were shooting spendy ammo and leaving the brass on the ground. <\/p>\n
I learned a lesson others have learned before me; the muzzle of the AR is some distance below the sight; this didn’t cause much concern but it did cause me to shoot a hole in my NEW AR gun case. <\/p>\n
So I need to get another, but I suppose I’ll see Mr Lee at the next gunshow which is Sunday. <\/p>\n
And then Partner pulled out his M1A. It’s one of those high end match guns, probably made to use a scope, he just doesn’t have one for it- yet. Anyway, with iron sights, at 50 yards, he puts the first round in the X ring. <\/p>\n
I was- frankly- not surprised. partner has an innate skill, but he doesn’t shoot enough to develop it. I don’t either, frankly, but I should remedy that. <\/p>\n
Meanwhle, the recoil therapy helped my attitude a lot. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
