There is nothing like heading to the Range to enjoy some Plinking. My son and I headed out and enjoyed some disaster prep range time.
It has been a crazy year so far.
I started to look for the last Range Day Post and realized I missed at least one or two days. I didn’t log taking new shooters out to plink for some reason – mostly because it slipped my mind.
Anyway, I settled on calling today Day 2.
I have to say that I really love my Case Club case. I am running out of room in my safes so having the ability to lock this up and then put it in a locked room gives me some extra space, and also means if I have to run for it I have a nice package of firepower that is easy to move.
The club put up these new green flexible targets, which were really odd to shoot at.
These targets are screwed to the wooden base, and meant to kind of wag when you shoot them as they don’t lie down. The real issue is that they don’t actually move all that much, to the point where its not clear if you are hitting them. We ended up wrapping one in a target to see, and sure enough we were hitting them. It’s just really hard to see, which makes me think that the rounds are moving so fast, and the targets are so soft that they just fly through them.
In any case we did have fun.
Plinking Targets
You can see that I am a little low and to the left, but since its a six inch target I’m still happy.
My son was shooting a bit faster than I was, and you can see how it impacted his grouping.
If you look careful you can see where we each put a 12G slug through each target as well.
My brother went with us, but for some reason I failed to get pics of his targets.
