Great day shooting

[MilitaryArms]

I love the fall. Great weather... so I went out with a buddy to do some plate shooting. I used to be big into shooting plates, mostly with single action revolvers and while dressed in goofy 1800's outfits.

Anyway, I decided to break out the old practice plates and this time shoot at them with a 1911 with some full house loads. Lots of fun. Here's a short video.

Did anyone else get out and shoot this weekend?

Looks great! Where were you? Your own property?

 

[MilitaryArms]

Yeah, I was on my own property. It's outside of Valparaiso (east of town).

I actually shot Friday, Saturday and Sunday! Shot my new AR and Muzzle loader Friday after work for about an hour, then I had to go shoot out the ball I got stuck in my muzzle loader on Saturday (It's beena long time since I've shot a muzzle loader and forgot about the little things, like brushing the bore every few shots) and Sunday, i took my wife out for a reffresher course. We shot her Barbie Gun (a glitzy Kel-Tec SUB2000 .40 S&W) and her classic Model 10 Smith. Goreat weekend, plus I got a few hundred rounds of various calibers loaded up.

I got to shoot a few of my 22 pistols but did not have enough time to run through a lot of ammo. Just enough to have a little fun plinking. It is a great time of the year to get out and shoot.

i spent about $175.00 on ammo, went to the range and had a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MilitaryArms]

What did you get for $175? For me that's about 2,000 rounds of .45 ACP.

Looked pretty fast and accurate in the video. Do you ever shoot any USPSA at Porter County or Warsaw?

Sneak out on Sunday in the morning and we'll go beat some steel plates up! I'm all ready to go again.

Nope, I haven't shot competition in about 8 years. I'm thinking of doing some IDPA here in Valpo, I just learned about North Porter County Conservation Club in Chesterton, Indiana and plan on seeing if I can become a member.

Does any one know a member of this club that can sponsor me?

Here's another video from about a month ago. I was shooting plates at my father inlaws. We got him a 1911 for his 50th b-day and I've been trying to teach him the fine art of plate shooting.
