Shoot!



Sexless drones of the New World Order aren't able to defend themselves, but it's different for free citizens. That in mind, I loaded up a couple of guns in the rig and drove out to Karen's for bean and brisket burritos, so tasty, and then the range.




It felt good to get out in the country for a shoot, just you and the guns under a big Texan sky, complete with hawks and vultures swooping and gliding in search of prey. To say nothing of a green silhouette, a Glock, a Ruger and an AR.




We opened up with the pistol, .45 ACP smashing into paper with more or less accuracy, and then some brisk action with .556. Well done, gas gun, annoying to clean, fun to shoot. And I like this rifle; Bison barrel, Hipertouch trigger, Fortis handguard (light and easy), Primary Arms red dot and Magpul here and there. What a neat little heater. The .22, Brits would say "tutu", was fun too, well done, Ruger.




And that was that, a great afternoon at the range and a good time had by all. It'd been far too long since I was able to get out in the field so it was good to be back. Thanks, modern medicine and firearms tech.

In other news, the Recruit passed all his tests and grads from Basic at Fort Benning on Thursday. He tells me he enjoyed chucking grenades about. Boom. On the way to Georgia now.




I dedicate this short if heartfelt post to RRH who shot well for the first time ever, and Branston, who passed from darkness to light. No small achievement in either instance. As always, gun rights.

A day at the range, especially an outdoor range, is always fun.

Is that the World Famous "Karen's" that you and LL rave about?

LL said...

Give my best to the private.

It was cruel of you to post a photo of Karen's burrito shop...great food, and it makes for a better day at the range.

It's been a while since I've shot outdoors. It's a lot more fun to shoot things as opposed to paper targets. Jugs of water, old cars, etc.

Good food and good guns. The range I work at is open a couple hours a day, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, to accommodate the deer hunters. The range master and I have been manning it. Since it's staffed by volunteers, it's generally open on weekends. I generally pack something to play with. I did manage to function test my 6.5 Grendel build and it passed. Now to pick out an optic and sight it in.

Were you able to see the Recruit graduate?

LSP said...

That's the one, drjim. Bean and brisket burrito is the way to go.

LSP said...

I think it improved the shooting, LL.

LSP said...

Kid... YES.

LSP said...

Jealous of that Grendel, Jim.

LSP said...

Thanks, Adrienne!

I'll pass that on, rickr. And thanks.
