      Wilbur Wright Range Near New Castle

      Yesterday, my friend Mark and I went to the Wilbur Wright Fish and Wildlife Area to sight in his AR-15 (Rock River Arms Carbine 5.56). Brand new weapon, iron sights, yada, yada, yada. First of all the weather was perfect. After a week of cold and rain the sun came out and the wind died...

      Atterbury Range Report

      I had the opportunity to head to the Atterbury Shooting Complex on Friday (5/20) to shoot my Springfield XD9 subcompact. I went with a friend of mine and neither of us were in a hurry so we shared a lane and took turns shooting (he brought his gun too). The weather was beautiful; it was a joy to...

      Shooting Residential Brick Walls Questions being explored: If shots are fired inside a brick clad home, will they penetrate an exterior wall? If shots are fired outside a brick clad home, will the brick provide any protection to occupants of the home? Secondary question: How much...

      Kahr PM9, PM9093N - Range Report

      As previosuly mentioned, I purchased a PM9 from Impact Guns last Tuesday. It arrived at KS&E on Friday. I had been weighing my choices for a new carry pistol for awhile, and had settled on the PM9. I'd had an opportunity to shoot both the PM9 & PM40, so I wasn't expecting any surprises. My...

      Range Report: Always have a Plan C and never leave your knife at home.

      Range Report: A Frozen Day at the Range Went to Martinsville Sportsman's Conservation Club on Sunday in the cold in order to plink some steel and AQT's with a couple of rifles. It's part of my resolution to shoot each and every week. Cold not withstanding. In any event, I pulled up the...

      Another Range report: 3/8" AR500 steel

      I also got some of the targets from Steel King and wanted to use it at relatively close range. The targets were rusty when I got them home, but a wire brush cleaned them up fine. I painted one up and attached it to a yard sign holder and ran it out to the range for a quick check to see how...

      Range Report: Penetration Tests vs. HDs (.22, 9mm, .223, 7.62x39, 7.62x51, 12G -Pics)

      Range Report: Penetration Tests I had been considering some penetration tests for some time. Basically, look at the actual real life penetration capabilities of various ammo that I keep as standard loads in my gear. My stumbling point was in not having a good volume supply of items that...

      Scutter, Lars and myself braved the elements and headed to Hamilton County Fish and Game this morning. We had a great time shooting and had the range all to ourselves. In fact, it looked like we were the first ones out there in days. We brought several weapons :ingo: DDM4 - Lar's took his...

      Is it more desirable for Buckshot to shoot tight or spread out?

      This is sort of a tangent thought to the excellent range report provided by lovemywoods. He demonstrated the differences in shooting different brands of buckshot from a 12 gauge. Some brands shot a tighter pattern, and some spread the pellets out much wider. The shot pattern ranged from 1-6...

      Range Report – Remington 870 - Testing the Pattern of Various Brands of Buckshot

      Background/Purpose I recently bought a used Remington 870 Wingmaster. In its previous life, it had been abused much and shot little (I hope to reverse both trends!) It has a 21” Remington Police barrel (Cylinder Bore = no choke). Another INGO member and good friend ‘rescued’ this noble shotgun...

      Ruger LCP Range Report

      I carry one all of the time - and I totally agree with the above. It's a good fit - for its specific niche. I'm not in the habit yet of carrying something larger. So for me - carrying an LCP beats carrying nothing. And I absolutely agree with using the grip extension.

      Ruger 10/22 Range Report

      For those of you not already aware, I picked up a 10/22 at the 1500 a few weeks ago: I took it out to Hamilton County Fish and Game today to give it a bit of a shakedown. On the whole I was pleased with its performance. It's very difficult to miss your target unless you're trying to miss...

      Kel-Tec PLR-16 Range Report: Mixed Bag

      So I finally made it to the range with the new PLR-16 to give it a basic function test/break in. Now, just as background, my intent for this PLR is to file a Form 1, put the stock adapter with a side folder on it and make it into a short barreled rifle. Before filing the $200 form, I wanted to...
