Looks like me and kiddo are going to pack up some RF rifles (and a few pistols) and do some shooting in the morning. Anybody else doing the same? What’s headed to the range with you?
Anybody else having a rimfire range day tomorrow?

I may take my ARs for a spin to the plinking grounds. I have been considering swapping some optics around.
And for sure will be taking the RAR Ranch 7.62x39 with some $6.99/box ammo

When I got to the range is was nice, but then the wind came up, variable speed and direction! Not a great day for testing ammo!! I shot two guns and didn't get great groups, so went home. Before I got home, I went through a couple of heavy showers, so was lucky to not get caught at the range, carrying all my gear.

I was just there Friday, with the AR. And Monday is steel challenge day, 9am. We've had a lot of wind too, which is pretty much the norm here. Doesn't affect the steel game, but it did on long-range Friday. Didn't matter much-just playing. Can't seem to get a no wind day.

We ended up sleeping in this morning. Hot and humid this afternoon and the kiddo really ain’t feeling this gun stuff today. We’re probably gonna back up and punt and try again next weekend.

What am I taking to the range "tomorrow"...being today? No time....work outside....and..."tomorrow", meaning Sunday tomorrow, I'll take a bucket to the range because it is going to rain, all day. Rats

No, not me. Not today (06/22.) Went down to the gravesite of the man who started me on my first firearm, which was indeed a .22LR rifle. Frank, my stepfather, died 33 years ago today. The cemetery is over an hour away, and I did some other stuff while down there, including visiting my 85+ year old aunt and taking her with me (we have other family members there, including her husband.)
I started another thread recently, regarding him (my stepfather) and that Winchester Model 190, which I actually got to replace a week or so back.
When I do round up some rimfires soon, the newly-acquired M190 will go along.

Nope. Peeled, cut and boiled 40 pounds of potatoes for potato salad and made 10 gallons of home made ice tea for our nieces high school grad party. Good Party.

Maybe so tomorrow. My wife hasn't told me what I'm going to do yet.
All in jest. I am planning on taking the two oldest gg daughter to the range--if it's not too windy. It's not supposed to be but you know haw accurate the weatherguessers are. I'll know for sure when I look out the kitchen window at my wind sock tomorrow morning.

Took them ALL out yesterday! (Well, there was still eleven in the safe, but I digress...)
My foolish self forgot the magazines for my Savage MKII. But to no great loss. I had a full day of it!
Most of my time was spent between the steel pistol racing rack and my Buckmark Contour, and toppling over milk weeds at twenty or so yards with my son's Rascal. I love that little thing.
Here is a target at one hundred yards. Shot from the top of a box and a stack of AR mags.
Not bad. Eight of ten. The CCI Merry Christmas promotional cartridges were just a little long for the Rascal. But dropped right into a vertically held barrel.
They were perfect in the Buckmark.
This is from my 450 Bushmaster.
One hundred yards standing.
I'm proud of that one. It was to be five, but the third one rocked me. And went wild right to show for it. Man, I love that rifle! But she sure tires me out!
Later on a friend called to cash in a promise I made to let her shoot some things.
So I headed back out with a recoil increasing collection of things to help her get her feet wet and think about things.
I brought...
The Rascal.
The Buckmark.
A PT-92.
A 1911
A P-938.
An Airweight 38Spcl.
And My Desert Eagle 50.
And four ARs. 223, 300 Blk, The Bushmaster and a VR-80.
The Bushmaster stole the show with thirty foot water works from the milk jugs.
But she did shoot the Eagle,
AND HIT A JUG AT TWENTY FEET WITH HER FIRST SHOT!
I wish I had the video to upload!
It was a gorgeous, perfect day. And a perfect storm of coincedence that let me spend all day at the range!
And it alll started with a great question...
Thanks @marksman13.
I really needed that!

Most of my range days lately, and especially since I got my suppressor, have been rimfire days. I'm so glad that I hung onto my .22s during the Great Drought!

Just took my kiddo back to her mom, and nearly talked myself out of shooting this evening. Thanks to your post, I’m headed home to gather up some guns and head to the range.Took them ALL out yesterday! (Well, there was still eleven in the safe, but I digress...)

Good. It'll make you feel better! Rain, shine. Anytime is trigger time! A cure for what ails you.
I feel your pain.
I am forced to share. At random intervals, when she feels like it.
Conversely, I will get to shoot after work all this week. (Since it's the first week she might take them all week, maybe.)

Headed out of town tomorrow. WMA is right across the street so will be scouting in the Am and shooting rimfires and shotguns at the range in Pm then back to the woods for more scouting. That is, IF I can last the frigging HEAT and Humidity.

I’m in Mississippi and the heat and humidity are ridiculous. Range time was fun, but fighting fogging sunglasses and scope and sweating like my shirt’s on fire diminish the experience.
