A perfect day at the range. (Atterbury)
Today was a perfect day...
Strated it out by meeting INGO member Mr. Lubie for a FTF for a Remington 870 Express 28" 12 ga. Mr. Lubie is a good guy and a pleasure to make a deal with.
It was warmish, sunny, and clear, so I headed over to Atterbury to have some range time with my newly passed-down SKS. I had never been to Atterbury and did not know what to expect. I saw a few INGO stickers in the parking lot, one on a bright yellow Focus and one on a black SUV. The ladies who helped me were great at explaining the way it works there. A dad and his 2 boys were a few stands down and they where having a great time, one kid asked about my SKS. I fired off 100 rounds from the SKS at 50 yds. and despite my horribly cheap sunglasses making my vision blurry, I didn't do to bad for the first time with the SKS, and I had no malfunctions.
Next, since I had just bought a shotgun, I decided to check out the shotgun range. I watched some guys shoot clays for a while and then decided to try it myself. I bought a token and a box of shells and headed to the trap range. I stopped a couple of guys to get a second check on the shotgun as I am totally new to shotguns and didn't want to mess it up. I shot the box of shells and had a great time breaking clays. I hit most of them, which I am happy with for the first time shooting a moving target. Although I got a bit sore near the end from 100 punches from the SKS's steel butt-plate and 25 from the 12ga.
Finally, I headed to Gander in Greenwood to get a box of 00 buck defensive shells and some snap-caps.
Now, I'm home with my wife, making pizza, and I get to clean my new guns.

Good groups for a first try. Shots in the corners were intentional. 50 yards, iron sights.
