The .44 trio vs. Christmas balls.....

Post by fortyshooter » Mon Dec 30, 2019 5:27 pm

Feeling much better and the weather great for December I made it to the range with the .44 BBS and the Ruger Flat Top and SBH all .44's
to try and blast away a few Christmas ball decorations. Turned out fairly well even though I missed the gong after shooting the little balls!
Had some fun with it which is always the point! https://youtu.be/YTzj_M48jz0

Oh and somebody didn't tell that pesky yellow jacket at end of video that it was December even though it was 73 degrees today! :lol:

Yep they are plastic and didn't shatter like I wanted but very cheap seasonal targets from the Dollar Store...a tube of 6 for a buck!

I am sure we will pay the price for that warm weather today. Look for some cold ice and snow soon....that's Va. weather!
Actually the weather forecast was for showers and storms with a front coming thru but it changed for the good.

Got to grab these kind of days for range time when you can.

Nice video 40Shooter, can't think of a better way to get rid of the Xmas decorations ! Hope your wife didn't find out when she looks for them next year. Well done !
