When Life Interfers with Shooting

[asmurff]

Don't you hate it when life gets in the way of your shooting fun. I bet I haven't been to the range in more than a month and I usuallly go at least once a week. Maybe I should go back to work *NOT* perhaps I could find the time then to go shooting. Between closing down the garden, winterizing the power outdoor machines, prepping the house for winter, I just seem to keep running out of time, or the weather is against me. Maybe next week!

I hear ya man. Im taking Friday off to do the paperwork on a supressor. Then I am going gun club shopping.

yeah I haven't pulled a trigger in about 6 weeks. The weather was really crappy a few weeks ago, my sister died suddenly, and fall projects coming due have put a damper on my shooting time.

[imschur]

But I've been making up for yall at the range......

:grin:

And I forget who told me about the Ruger LCR in 357 was going to kill my hands, but I'll have to say ...

"You told me so"... ;D

Damn...shoot 20 or so rounds of mag through it and my palm and wrists ache for days....

Bad news about your sister Rodent. Sorry to hear it.

Tal, the .357 LCR wasn't built for shooting, it was built for toting. Ouch!

Now that you know it works, leave it in the holster.  ;D

[asmurff]

Rodent my condolences, sisters are special people.

You got that right...I'm carrying it, with 38 special hollow's home defense round, from Winchester...

Kind of expensive, but doesn't have the ecxessive penetration that isn't needed in an urban environment, but plenty of stopping power...

You guys have any other suggestion for my carry piece ammo let me know...

[imschur]

i carry this.

Sorry rodent about your sister

Well I did break the cycle of non-shooting today. I got to the range and put 300 rounds through my 10-22 at 50 yds off hand, boy did I suck in getting into the zone I was after only about 80%, if it had be a human it would have been 100%. Since my 10/22 is set up very similar to my Spikes Tactical ST-15 I'm not down on my results. I do need to start doing more dry fire practice with my rifles instead of just pistols.

asmurff can you shoot a pellet rifle where you live? I found in my youth that a decent pellet pistol and rifle and a place to shoot at home improved my range results. Hell I shot .22 pistol in a trap in my basement.

I think Microgunner has a bullet trap next to the plasma tv in the living room ;D

I think it is okay. I have a exact replica of the 1911 I carry conceal which is propane operated with the soft pellets which I use in the garage. It is powerful enough to operate the slide on the pistol with authority and damaged the inner covering of my insulated  garage door if I miss. I've spent a lot of time and effort to insure I was accurate with a pistol since I got a conceal carry license, but  I have neglected my rifle practice. Luclily my gun shops carries a good assortment of air/propane powered guns. I may just have to get one.
