Some lever fun yesterday

[Hatchdog]

Yesterday I worked on my range a bit leveling the dirt in front of the backstop. Earlier when I set up my pins or target stand I had a pretty good slope right to left. All is good now. Both my Henry Big Boy 357 and my Marling 39-A need scope adjustments so I got that done. Not my best shooting but good enough for now. Last time I shot my 39 I accidentally moved the exposed turret on the elevation. It was sighted in at 50 yards and the indicator on the elevation turret was at 150 yards. I took a shot anyway and yep, as you can see on the target it was very high. Moved the turret back to 50 yards and I was right there. Did a few minor adjustments and all the ground squirrels in the pasture started crying .

Next up was the Henry 357 that I had pulled the scope off. It was pretty close with my remounting so just a few minor adjustments.

Next I set up five bowling pins and shot them offhand at 25 yards. Hit them all and did it again. (Not too difficult at 25 with a scope) Next time I’ll move further out. First five shots I shot very slowly lowering the rifle after each shot. The second five I kept the rifle on my shoulder shooting faster.

Today I think I’ll do some handgun work with the CZ 9mm and the S&W 686.

Sounds like a good time was had there Hatch.
Some mighty fine looking lumber on that ole 39.
What year is it from?

It’s a 2009 right before the Remington take over.

Just got back from an atv ride with the dogs. It’s very overcast, windy and cold so I’m waiting a bit before heading up the hill to do some more shooting. Hope it improves a little bit.

Hatch... you have your range looking nice and love the RV setup to go with it. Good shooting too!

Yeah, it was a fun few days. We’re giving the pup some RV training with the fence normally we wouldn’t use it at the property as there is no one around to bother. We plan to go to a nice campground in Idaho in a week or so to introduce the pup to other people and dogs nearby. Probably going to be a rodeo. We have a 10 day trip to California to see the kids/grandkids in June so the more the RV training we can give the little guy the better.
