Super day for the Range

Post by Headhog » Tue Mar 07, 2023 6:45 pm

Weather was very nice this morning: 60-65 F sunny and a light breeze. Couldn't ask for better weather. So I brought my DPMS AR-308 out of the safe, grabbed two 50 round boxes of ammo. and headed out the door. I had the range to myself and proceeded set out my target at 100 yds. I fired 3 rounds, with just my elbows on the bench, to warm up the barrel and burn off any extra oil. You can see those rounds at 3, 9 and 11 o'clock positions. I then fired the next 7 rounds from the rest. I was pleased with my group so I began shooting the center out of the target. I also switched to shooting a 10" steel plate we have hanging at 200 yards. With this setup it's hard to miss.

Good to hear you got out and shot some of those dangerous skeet critters. They are mean little devils :lol:

That 308 would be a super deer donker, but I don't hunt anymore. If I were to shoot a deer, I'd have to pay a porter to drag it out of the woods. :lol: I just enjoy taking it out to the range.
