Went shooting yesterday pics

[Spinnerblade]

While I was setting everything up I saw some guys riding out behind me, and when I was getting ready to shoot I noticed them with a truck about 500 yards away, so being naturally curious I took a look with my binocs and saw it was a Ranger. I emptied one mag at the steel plates, quickly reloaded and fired off another 13 rounds. Looking over my shoulder I noticed the Ranger was on his way.
When he pulled up to my truck I took off my ears and exchanged greetings. He asked what I was shooting and informed me of the guys out riding. Anyhoo, I guess I looked OK and he said have a nice day and took off, short and sweet.
For some reason that particular Ranger impressed me as being as totally professional and prepared.

Anyway on to the shooting. Originally I was planning only on taking my 9mm pistols, but the LW Commander and Officers LW made their way into the range bag. I wanted to shoot up some loose 45 rounds that were starting to accumulate in the range bags and cargo compartment of the truck.

Here's the 9's I brought out.

And here's the first target I shot, 25 yards sitting resting the pistol on my knee.

And the second five shots.

I haven't shot the P7's in a long time and it seemed like I wasn't shooting them as well as I had before.

I shot some more targets and the steel and then put up a final target and called it a day, it gets cold fast as the sun starts to set.
Final target.

On the way home the sun was setting and was a nice finish for the day.Patrick

Great pic!

Thanks for the shooting report, how much brass did ya loose in the snow?

I'm thinking of switching to revlover for the winter. 10mm brass hurts too loose!

[Spinnerblade]

Glad you guys like the pic. It was taken south of Boulder City.
When I was taking the pics I was thinking I might use them as a backgroud on my pc, but I ended up liking this one.

I don't loose much brass in the snow because I shoot from the same spot and just stamp the snow down where the brass is landing. It actually seems easier to find in the snow than the gravel.Patrick

[Steve Koski]

If ya stomp down the snow real good you can find most of your brass.

I like the no shooting sign.

[TwoShot]

Yep, looks like a bullet hole in the "O"

[TwoShot]

I have a No Shooting sign that i got in Montana ,,,I;ll post a pic of it as soon as I can find it .

[MakeMineaP99]

BTW, what's with all the factory ammo?

[Spinnerblade]

BTW, what's with all the factory ammo?
It got too hot during the summer to shoot very much so I started fishing, and if I went shooting, I just used up what reloads I had or shot 22's.

So right now I'm about out of reloads. Plus, I just started loading 9mm this summer and didn't develop a favorite load. I was just making up small trial batches and nothing really stood out to make me want to load up a bunch.Patrick

I like the no shooting sign.

I have a picture of my daughter and her friend posing next to that sign holding a Marlin 357 and an AK that I really like:).Patrick
