Hi...
Day at the gun club yesterday.
My son and I are both members, so we took my oldest daughter and her husband over for a day of shooting.
My daughter used to shoot with me until she became an adult and life and children took prescedence. She has decided to get back into shooting and is bringing her ex - Army husband with her. She is 45 years old now and was really excited to shoot her Savage Axis .30/06 and Ruger SP101. SIL has a Savage 111 in .30/06 and a S&W Airline .38Spl.
One thing I found out is that my daughter is still a very good shot. SIL...not so much.
We shot a bunch of guns from my son and my collections. My daughter really liked shooting my .357Mag Colt Troopers, .41Mag S&W 57 and Dan Wesson .44Mag. Recoil didn't bother her except her SP101 which she told me before bruises her middle finger.
She shot three different .41Mag, three different .44Mag, six .357Mag, four .45ACP, a couple of 9mm and two 10mm handguns.
SIL shot them as well.
We filled a .30cal ammo can with empty handgun brass in about 3-1/2 hours.
Also ran a few hundred rounds through a couple of my son's AR15s as well as a couple of boxes of rounds through his Rem. M700 in .270.
Daughter and SIL each shot a box or two through their .30/06 rifles.
Spent an hour and a half on the rifle range.
I spent most of my time while we were on the rifle range plinking at a rock on the 200yd berm with a couple of my .44Mag revolvers with some factory 30Ogr JSP.
Hit all around it but didn't ever hit it with 20 rounds
I got four boxes of those .44Mag rounds at auction a few weeks ago for about $12-15 and wanted to see how they shot in my revolvers. I didn't use them in my Model 29, though.
All in all...a very good time at the gun club.
