A few less old guys at the range

There were a few less old guys today, but it was still a great day. Todd51 and I took a few hours to go have some fun in the hills on what could be one of the last remaining nice days this fall. Todd brought a couple toys, but mostly this was my trip.

I recently picked up a couple updates to my Armalite AR that I was itching to try out. First was the Vortex VMX-3T, a 3 power magnifier to sit behind my EO-Tech 512 Holographic Sight. It makes a huge difference for longer ranges, and doesn't distort the sight. The only distortion is from my astigmatism. After a couple of sight adjustments it was hitting fine at 100 yards. I also picked up a good deal for a MilSpec Buffer Tube, Heavy Buffer, and a Magpul ACS 6-Postion Stock. There was a Magpul CTR Commercial Stock on it, but I wanted the slightly elevated cheek weld and the storage compartments. Everything functioned flawlessly, and I couldn't be happier.

I've always enjoyed Smith & Wesson's products, then Todd introduce me to his M&P 9mm Pro, and I was hooked. So much so that I ended up with that same Pro, a 9mm Shield, and a M&P 9c. I guess you could say I'm prejudiced. Many rounds, no issues with their function. Toss in a Ruger LCR-22, and you couldn't ask for much more.

Todd was as accurate as usual with his 5" M&P 9mm Pro, and a Ruger MkIII. The effect of lead hitting the steel targets, and hearing that gong sound , you just gotta love it! As usual, Todd goes for the 80 yard tombstone target, with the M&P Pro, and nails it. As is often the case, it's all for naught without pictures, so please see below!

I don't make the trip as often as I would like, but a day at Todd's place is always a pleasure. I feel privileged to be part of the group, and can't wait for my next opportunity..

It was a nice fall day today and especially nice for me as I didn't have to hang any of the steel or retrieve it. All I had to do was sit, drink coffee and watch or sit and shoot. Daffy is really not old enough to be called an Old Guy but we let him come because he brings such neat toys, ha. I really like that little Ruger LCR-22 of Daffy's. A neat little revolver that is fun to shoot but it would not be much fun to be on the receiving end of eight high velocity .22s and it would slip into a pocket so easily.

It was sit at home and watch football or go to the range and I will take a range trip any time. Ohio State is on now so no loss for me and I enjoyed another fine day.
