Ruger target, 50rds at 7yds. The low shots were the first ones. The rest were after I made my self slow down and focus

Model 57 target, 12 rds at 7yds. My first go 'round with the .41 Magnum and I can certainly see the attraction

Some Tactical shooting ...with the attached Course of Fire. Used my carry gun....5" Wilson Protector model in 9mm. Shot the ICE qual target....100 rds, max score 100.

Each shot fired on a stage over Par time is (-1), center chest area is (-0), next outline is (-1), (-2) for rest of silhouette, (-3) if you miss silhouette but hit paper, (-5) if you miss paper.

Shots to face in COF...the rest of the head is (-1)....

For stages shooting center chest ...face is (-1) & rest of head is (-2) like shoulders, etc...

97 out of 100 1st time thru...( missed 2 shots to face on stage 7 up into head / had 1 shot overtime on station 12 by 0.2 sec...trying to be too careful.

2nd time thru ...I ran 100%. It always feels good to run a COF clean...( even for an old guy at 69, with bad eyes...)...

Resorted to shooting in back of shop, just 12 yds.
We've had 8"+ of rain this week, 9" the 10 days prior and more coming....
Section roads are about impassable.

About to go stir crazy.

Picked up this STI Tactical 4.0 on Friday, and got to bust some caps this afternoon in lovely heat index of 104 degrees and over 80% humidity. Didn't care. Had a great time and put 325 rounds through this excellent shooting pistol. The steel targets were plenty hot to the touch when I was packing out, but hey...small price to pay! 'Merica!

I made it to the range on Sunday and went through a bunch of ammo!
It was awesome.
My new 10mm R.O. performed outstanding right out of the box.
Knocking plates down like I'd been shooting it for years.
200 rnds.-not one malfunction. Very pleased with it!

A big surprise came when I broke out the Kel-Tek PMR .22Mag-That thing is crazy fun!
Best trigger I've ever felt on a striker fired gun.
Very accurate too!
3-30 rnd mags go by pretty quick!
Unfortunately, my cousin had to have it so it's his now, but I still get visiting rights...

My first AR build, a PSA 10.5 upper on an Aero lower, PSA lpk.

View attachment 267325

Quick trip to the range over lunch, put 40 rounds down the tube no problem. Two occasions early on where the bolt didn’t lock back on an empty magazine, will put that down to initial break-in and see if it’s reoccurs.

Started off shooting one round in the magazine at a time (in case I’d messed up the disconnector install, didn’t need hammer follow on a 30 round magazine), then 2’s, then 3’s.

Recoil was more than for a full 16” rifle, but could be in my head as I was sort of expecting it. Noise was surprisingly not as bad as I thought it would be, PSA’s "blast can" does the trick by pushing it forward and away. Fireball though is impressive !

Once I was happy that function was good, I put a rough zero on the red dot. 3 holes touching each other by the fourth string, helps when you adjust the windage the right way !

20 yards off the bench. Happy !

I shot my first acquired .45 from 11 years ago. Para Ord. P12-45 (Canadian made) to try out a couple of .45 light loads (recipe complements of @DukeSoprano )
I shot Mrs. C's "Groot & Pam" with lighter recoil spring to handle her light .38 sup. loads
and the newest build "Lefty" also .38 sup.
