Range Report: home home on the range

Post by Sir Henry » Sat May 16, 2026 12:32 pm

It’s hot and windy yet a good day for plinking. I need to get the range ready for my friends visit from Montana. I can’t remember the last time I shot centerfire. That will change when I shoot some machine guns this next week.

Range Report

Post by CT_Shooter » Mon May 18, 2026 1:59 pm

Yesterday was my first range outing of the year, and it was a beautiful morning. I was surprised that only four of the ten lanes were reserved, so it was especially quiet. One of the shooters even used a silencer. I shot 100 rounds of my 357 reloads at ten yards in the forty minutes before the first cease fire. The guns worked flawlessly. Sometimes, I did, too; but mostly I just had a good time. I shot the 2" King Cobra DA 50%, SA 50%. Those Hogue grips really soak up the recoil. No pain and all fun. Of course, shooting the SmokeWagon is the definition of fun.

Would this be a range where you can rent one or with a club that has a shoot sometimes? We "still" have that here in Va. I shot a real Thompson machine gun some years ago at a local range where you could rent them. Was some fast fun!
