went on MLK day around 1130. I was the only one there. Winds and rain were almost tropical storm strong. at one point my target stand blew apart from the wind. Packed up and went home after about 45 mins.

Did they make you wait for the scheduled cease fire before collecting your target?

LOL
right after you left, my co-worker went there and his target got blown away by the wind also.
I try to glue my paper target to the cardboard a few hours before going out.
I also use glue clamps to secure the wood to the metal carrier.

I might go this afternoon to commemorate the new potus.

Thanks Stang

do masks have to be worn at all times?  or can we remove while at the bench?

Masks always unless that rule has changed in the last month.

Only 2 weeks late, work faster troll

 

I went to the range today to shoot my Ruger SP-101 in 9mm for the first time. I just got this from my nephew. I used to own one just like it and sold it and have been kicking myself ever since. So the fact I was able to buy it from him means a lot to me. Here are a couple of pics. Shot at 21’ in double action. The trigger on it is not very good in double action and I had a hard time seeing the front sight. The target is the first 5 shots.

Oh, and the ammo I used? Remanufactured reloads.    My brother came out from SoCal to visit a few weeks ago and brought me a coffee can of my father’s reloads. Since he didn’t put a date on them I have no idea how old they are and what powder was used. Though he was using Herco and Bullseye back then. I took a bunch of them apart and discovered the bullet is a Sierra 125gr FMJ. I could not ID the powder. It doesn’t look like the Bullseye I have so it is probably Herco. And he had other ammo cans with similar reloads in them dating any where from 25 years to 40 year old. So I decided to disassemble them, resize the case with primer still intact (Took out the decapping pin) and reloaded them with Unique and the Sierra FMJ. I loaded 50 and all 50 went bang. So now I have a coffee can full of these to take a part.

Going to try go range Saturday first time I got it off in many months. 

Weather wasn't that bad,  someone was posting fliers and talking about upcoming laws.  That was good. 

My new JP 22lr's scope I must have mounted it wrong cause it was always far to the right no matter what I did.

kinda like when your handgun kept on shooting low left...

Sounds like you mounted it 90 degrees off.

If adjusting it for windage did nothing, then you either have the scope mounted with the windage line turned up/down (the direction for elevation), and the elevation  line where windage should be (left/right) -- or you were adjusting the wrong dial.

Line the scope up on a point on the wall in your house and move the dials.  See where the crosshairs move.  Make sure the rifle is stationary -- in a vice, between some books, etc.  if the dials cause the movement to be opposite what you expected (windage adjustment causes elevation change), then your scope is canted 90 degrees.  Rotate it so the crosshairs that were vertical are now horizontal.

If the reticle is a plain set of lines without BDC or other markings, it's easy for a novice to mount it wrong without checking the adjustments to verify.

There are ways to make sure the rifle and scope are parallel, and the elevation line in the reticle is perpendicular to the plane of the rifle.  No expensive tools needed.  If you need help, you should start a fresh thread.

My other guess is you mounted it so crooked, the adjustment can't make that large of a correction.  If the rings are mounted properly, that shouldn't happen.

i havent been to the range in over a year since covid started. Are the hours still the same as before? I'm guessing theres new covid rules? Social distancing and face mask required? Can we still just show up and get an open table?
