Range day on 4 July, who went?

[dsdmmat]

I went to sight in my latest AR builds and ended up only firing 37 rounds All day. The Odin Works adjustable gas block was touching the handguard and causing my groups to string, off to the store I go today to get a lower profile non adjustable gas block. It wasn’t the only gun I brought but a couple of people wanted to bs with me about guns, scopes, jobs and competitions. I was there for 6 hours and only managed to fire off 37 rounds.

All in all it was still a good day. Anytime you can be around good people on a shooting range is a good time.

No need, you could shoot nearly anywhere with all the fireworks providing cover.

Went today instead...

Sighted in my new midway m1 carbine, need to hold 6 oclock 4” low @ 50& 75. Ran fine on LC 54 surplus and pro mag 10 rders. FUAC. Neat little gun.
And finally got my problem Garand to function 100%. I was getting early enblock eject. Changed a bunch of parts out trying to fix her before I got it right.
Bullet guide was the issue.
And then the obligatory 1911 practice.
Had the place to myself for 3 hrs.

I went to my Buddy's place on Saturday and did some shooting at his range. He's got a sweet set-up, out to 150 yards, with an aluminum shooting house sitting on concrete, with a firm shooting benches. A really a nice setup! Best part (besides hanging with my Buddy!!), it's only 15-20 mins from my house!!!

Drove 40 miles to Pine Tree to shoot the weekly rimfire benchrest match (Monday) only to find out no match ..... When I last shot these matches 5 years ago it was 18 weeks straight on holidays too.

Went to 3×600 match in NJ. I was the highest scoring in service rifle category. Very little traffic even in problem areas.

I did! Copied from the "What did you do today?" thread -

Range Day on the 4th - Ruger 10/22 in .22LR, Ruger SR1911 in .45 ACP (haven't shot her in over a year, loved it), SIG P365XL in 9mm, S&W M&P 2.0 Compact in 9mm, AR15-style rifle in .223 Wylde, and M1 Garand (30-06)

Got a new steel target to try - rifle rated but they say minimum 100 yards. Pfft. Set it at.. 50 feet maybe? Didn't risk the Garand but the .223 definitely made an impact (ba-dum tsh).. stuck to handguns only after that on the steel.



Then proceeded to mow two different yards and grill some burgers and hot dogs on my pellet grill. I think I'll sleep well tonight.

I do have to figure out where I'm going to store the target... it's probably over 30 lbs for the main target, really don't want to lug that thing downstairs every time I go to the range.. my trunk isn't big enough to keep in there full-time.

Edit: Here's a close-up of one of the rifle rounds -



For pistols I had it around 30 feet maybe? SIG P365XL w/ Holosun 507k I was able to hit the orange head target 100% of the time - feels like cheating. (obviously wasn't going for speed though)
