Well, my main goal today was to zero the scope on the Circuit Judge. Got the windage down, but elevation was giving me a fit. The 30+mph winds didn't help - our targets kept getting blown clean off of the holders. I gave up and just shot the HiPoint 4095 instead. At zombie rats (see below).
Pistol range wasn't any better. Everything worked just fine, but trying to hit targets as they sailed overhead was challenging.
Also shot some #4 buck out of the CJ. The fixed shotgun target (as opposed to the skeet range) was facing right into the teeth of the wind. To give you an idea of the wind - the shotgun wads ended up behind me and I got a few kisses from burning gunpowder.

Re: Quick range report
Most any day burning powder is better than a day not doing so. But, I do hate wind.

Re: Quick range report
Reminds me when I killed a hog with my CJ 44 Mag from a box blind. I didn't think about getting cylinder face outside the window, just the forearm. I ended up with all kinds of powder & lead particles striking me! Bounced off the wall of the blind right back into my face!Chiefeis wrote:... I got a few kisses from burning gunpowder.
