Retirement range day #1

[MrSmitty]

I don’t get to the range as much as I like, retirement for is more free time, less money, but I am working part time in a gun store.. how bad can it be? My only option is Henryville State forest range, need to get back out there!! Nipprdog, you’re a bad influence! (Thanks!!!!)

I am a little afraid to work in a gun store…

If it’s a fear of guns, we can talk you through it……

I stopped by the range twice a month, on my way home from work.
Now retired since Nov 2023, I should be able to go anytime I want to right?
Well maybe, I was stopping by Indy Arms pounce a month, until my wife said to take our oldest daughter in Avon out to shoot.
Now we stop at the Avon RK for ammo, and shoot at Parabellum.
So I have free time, but double the ammo cost each month, and ammo prices are gigabyte.
9mm not so bad( but not like Walmart $7.95 a box of fifty back in the dsy ). .40 and .45 ammo fogedaboutit.

Yeah, current ammo prices suck. Range time used to be a lot of shooting and a little talking, now it's a little shooting and a lot of talking.

I’m just glad my son is old enough to buy his own ammo….funny how he doesn’t want to shoot as much anymore…

just loaded the truck up, getting ready to head to the range, testing 357 mag in lever action, 30-30 in lever action, dialing in loads on my new competition 6.5 cm, then some testing with midwest powders in 308. Also the shooting my 1911's too, haven't had my les baers out in a while!

 

[2in1evtime]

Well everything went good today, did find the ram hunter isn't so good, but everything else i shot was all good to go, need a little fine tuning on the sierra match 155 grain tipped bullets, but didn't load any for today with reloader 15, did use shooters world precision in 308 at it was good to go, still working with the shooters world long rifle to find the sweet spot for 6.5cm.

Stock up on shooting supplies while you are still working. Set maybe a fixed $$$ amount every week, every other week, or once a month and use that $$$ to buy some supplies up to your budgeted amount. If as you say you are two years out but by the time that day comes you’ll be in great shape vis-a-vis your shooting and firearms hobby.
Good luck!

I'm working on it! I'm trying to slowly replace all the clothes in my closet with ammo cans!
