Saturday Shooting:
Will be taking a friend from out of town shooting at the Grasslands plinking range on Saturday the 26th - that’s this coming Saturday - if anyone would like to come along! I will be bringing: Marlin Model 60 .22, Mosin-Nagant 1891/30, Ruger Mk. III .22, and Kimber Custom II .45 ACP. If you’d like to shoot my guns, it’d be cool if you brought some ammo for those that you’d like to shoot - we’ll pool so that everyone gets a chance, to be sure*. Also, if you’d like, feel free to bring guns and ammo of your own! This will be a fun, informal, safe time for plinking and light target shooting - I have a reactive plinking target borrowed from James, a few 2-liter bottles I can fill with water, and some old, empty computer cases to shoot at farther distances with larger rounds. Don’t forget ear- and eye-protection! If you don’t have any, Harbor Freight, three blocks away, sells muffs and safety glasses for way cheap.
Where: Meet at Matt’s house (1104 Remington St. #304) in order to consolidate cars and pool out to the grasslands - it’s a bit of a drive! When: Meet at Matt’s at about 10:30 to leave by 11. I can make snacks, or you can come fed, but eating while handling lead bullets is generally a Bad Idea, so don’t plan on bringing anything to the actual shooting.
Let me know if you’re coming in the comments :3
- For those keeping track, that’s: • .22 LR, very cheap, get it anywhere, anything’s fine. • 7.62x54R Nagant, a surplus round that averages $4.50/20 rounds at Jensen’s or Jax, again anything’s fine. • .45 ACP (that’s ACP or Auto, not colt, not GAP) full metal jacket, averages about $17.00/50 at Jensen’s or Jax, avoid hollowpoint, do not get Winchester white box (Wal-Mart) please
