A good day at the farm

[Delford]

I was out yesterday morning with friends. One tested his new to him Remington 770. Another tried out his newly acquired 1943 Mosin-Nagant. Another practiced with his Glock 30. I was surprised to find my Ruger P345 is lighter by several ounces, discounting the G30 carries 2 more rounds. The Ruger is also thinner due to being single stack. I practiced moving drills with my Rem 870 with target loads as well. I didn't use my Neos but did use my Marlin 60. It's a grin inducing rifle for sure. Shooting the Ruger is also a joy because while I may not hit the X in moving drills, it's close enough to know that it's home defense use is justified. I got to shoot my friends' rifles and they shot my Marlin 60 and Ruger. Everyone tested, practiced and found answers to their questions. It was 85 degrees, a bit warm for late October, but a good time was had by all. A late lunch followed at a great Mexican restaurant.

Things like that warm my heart. Good friends, good guns, just practicing, plinking, and palavering. Maybe 400-500 rounds shot, and nobody got killed.

Shinin' times. Bring a couple of cameras along next time, hey?

Thank you for that report. An enjoyable read. Everyone had a great time shooting and a great feed afterward. It does not get much better than that!

Plus, you are in North Carolina, where October weather is usually superb.

You were out on the farm? Nothing beats shooting with friends in a private range setting. The best of the best days.

View media item 103View media item 104Terry, trying to add a pic file in the new layout is interesting. I keep getting error messages on a 400x400 jpg file. Loading media and transferring works.

I think there are several (older) discussions of that in the Tech section.

For myself, I usually just use attachments after reducing the pics to acceptable size with MSPaint and store them in a special folder on my machine. The new "Gallery" or whatever it's called throws this Old Dog, especially if it's a pic I already posted in the past. I work around it, but...

Seems pics are a common problem anyhow.

Once I figured out loading them in an album works I'll just do it that way. Pretty fast uploads. I have to go to my desktop PC to downsize photos in GIMP but it has numerous other advantages too. We taught the newb to lean forward so after a bit he could see thru the scope. The guy facing the camera is a good shooter and coach.

Safety first, last, and always. No one but the active shooter holds a loaded gun.
