Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I have 3 .22's, a Heritage .22/.22 mag, a Ruger Mark IV and a Marlin model 60. I'm going to drag 'em all to the indoor range and blast away! I have lots of .22 ammo. Anyone else shooting today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Me! I am afraid they are going to shut down ranges here due to CoVid so I plan to go today and tomorrow. The last time I actually think I went through withdrawals and then I had wrist surgery. I couldn’t shoot or ride. I might just do the same, Rye. I have a nice amount of .22 long rifle. Maybe I will take the .22s out to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I just had a Henry .22 lever action fall into my hands. I should try to go shoot it before I take it out boating. I seem to have bad luck with firearms when I take them boating. Unfortunately, today is not the day. Too much on my schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 It's a .50 caliber day,! Opening day for muzzleloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I have a .22 conversion kit for my Colt Commander 45 ACP. Works like a charm with Remington LR. Feeling the need to shoot a box or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Yea RYE. I love the .22 also. I'll probably take a couple out with me but my focus today will be with both of my .460 Rowlands, 2 Super Blackhawk Hunters in .45 Colt and sighting in my new FN 509. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Shot the CZ 457 Lux and the Ruger 10/22 with a 14-year-old grandson at the smallbore range at our local outdoor range, on Wednesday. Loads of fun-- his first time shooting. I'm shooting pretty regularly at this range. Limited to one guest, every other shooting station, but given that it's outdoors those are the only restrictions, even with our recent 'enhanced' shutdown. It's a very nice range, in a nearby suburban location, but use has been pretty light these last few Corona months. We had the smallbore range to ourselves Wednesday, and there were only a couple of shooters at the main range and the pistol range. Beautiful sunny day, about 52 degrees.

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 My local practice range opened up on the 30th so my wife and I spent the afternoon practicing with 22s. We will save our center fire ammo for matches until the current primer shortage ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 I shot about 150 rounds of .22’s then I got bored until I tried some .22 magnums that was a little more fun. I get bored with .22’s very quick! It was better than no shooting though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joke 'um Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Lots of .22's at the Steel Challenge match today, here. My squad had 8 .22's and only 2 of us with 9mm. If this ammo situation continues, we'll be able to call .22LR "The Cartridge of the Future." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Shot with my home club today. 6 stages with one being a 10 round shotgun only. Day started out with a light frost We had a couple of burn barrels going to keep everyone warm. By the time we finished the first stage the sun had warmed everything nicely.

Need from get that out and work on it a bit. Nice old rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 My Ruger 10/22 International got some exercise last week before my hand surgery. The Winchester stuff was ok but it liked the German SK best. Rifle is factory original, unmodified, 50 feet, over a rest. I sometimes think I will sell it, then it does this when I shoot it. It’s earned a spot on the rack. Love my .22s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did make some money on that sale but I wish I had it back! Oh well, the Henry will do just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
