From the shooting range

I’m pretty sure I’ve shot on that range….Kenai?

Nice rifle too.

That’s the one. Snow Shoe Gun Club in Kenai. Depending on when you last shot there, it may have dramatically changed.

General question for everyone. How satisfied are you with Garmin Xero? I use Magentospeed V3. Thinking of buying Xero

I like mine. Seems to get pretty accurate readings.

I’m jealous of you guys. I won’t even post a picture if my range it’s too sad compared to yours.

Another R8 for everyone. This is a 375H&H that weighs 7.75 lbs as seen here.

Nice which hearing aids are you using?

I would mostly be embarrassed to show photos of our range. It's a public range and is often littered with trash that people haul out, shoot, and leave behind. We have a local sportsman's club that does a few clean-ups each year, but they (we) don't keep up.

That said I am glad I have a place to shoot. It's 180 yards to the berm at the end.

My current range trips have been in search of which rifle I will take goat hunting in September. I am leaning towards my Savage 99E in .308. While I load for everything I own, it's showing far more promise with Hornady Outfitter 150 grain CX. This was a group from Tuesday; everything has been an inch or so. I head back tonight to spend a bit more time with it.

Good group

I don't use hearing aids.

The hearing protection I'm using are custom molded plugs and I usually double up with muffs on an indoor range. However the muffs interfere with my cheekweld, so I take them off while rifle shooting.

Good group

Old lever actions tend not to be the most tack driving devices. Frankly I am absolutely chuffed thus far.

Thanks. Sorry meant hearing protection.

Here's a few photos of my range. Older photos. I'm fortunate to have a private range on my own property, 5 minutes away, shoot whenever I want and that's quite often. I don't have many photos to record my activities though. I was there shooting today, fired off a box of .375 H&H at the steel gongs 100 M away while resting the rifle ( Sako Model 85 Grey Wolf) on crossed sticks. Getting ready for a hunt in Mozambique in a couple weeks.

my property is wild enough I sometimes have grouse coming to see what the commotion is, and at other times mule deer, whitetail deer or moose.

Currently this is my range…although I’ve been told I’m not allowed to shoot off the verandah anymore, scares the cat (lap warmer) or something like that.
The sand dune is 800yards away, if I need to go further than that I could just go to the other side of the dune and then I’ve got around 2 miles clear to the next one if I shoot at an angle. I’ll try to get a photo of the Black Powder club I’m a member of.

Our club has a long range for rifles that goes to 1000yd, some steel hung at every 100yd berm to 700 and then a few more before the large and small gongs on a mound at 1000. We have multiple short bays for handguns and rifle use, most to 60yd and a couple to 110, four have shooting houses with wood stoves for use in the winter…also helpful to escape the skeeters. Same for a tactical range with shooting house that goes to 250 yards, one larger steel at 200.

The last year I’ve spent more time on the shorter bays playing with various double rifles, with occasional stops by the main rifle range to check hits at 200 and 300, or playing with a long range or sheep rifle.

I’ve spent many hours at that club. Sorry we didn’t meet when I lived there.

You don't even need to go to the hunting grounds, the animals will come to you
Is this a U/O rifle?

Bless you. For me, finding a shooting distance greater than 300m is a serious business
Be careful with the cat.
