275 rounds of .22 down range $5.50
Meeting good people at the range PRICELESS!
Had a great day at the range today. Met a young man who was getting ready to go into RANGER school. He was there with an ex-Marine sniper who has been working on teaching him to shoot a rifle. The kid was good. He was driving tacks with a .30-06.
Both men were good people. We are in good hands with the young man entering Ranger School. He was a very polite young man. He let me squeeze of a round of his 06, I think the one I have been eyeing will be coming home soon. BTW, I drilled it dead center of the target (then he put 4 rounds on top)
When I moved down to the pistol range I invited them to join me a let the kid shoot my guns. They did, he shot had a huge smile on his face. That made me feel good.
This is why I enjoy shooting & other outdoor sports.
But it gets better, I get home & while clean the guns I tell my wife any time your ready to go. I have been trying to get her the range for a while. She is a typical person who has never really shot or been around guns until I brought them home.
Well she said she was ready, so back to the range tomorrow I go, but this time it is all about introducing her & letting her experience that shooting is FUN!
I figure I’ll take the P22, 9MM & S&W 686 (w/ .38 special) and let her pick what to shoot. I did run to Waltmart & pick up some of the orange peel targets, so she can see what she hits!
Wish me luck.
