I am one happy Appliancedude - The Firearms Forum

Finally made it to the range. Ah I feel like a whole new man. 1st stop, Carl Jr's (Hardys for you guys to the east) for a breakfast burger. My favorite meal before I shoot. 2nd stop, trap range. Shot 3 rounds of trap. 20, 21, and 20. Not to bad for having not shot in about 3 or 4 months. Happened to be a trap comp today. So I picked up a range bag full of good hulls. Sweet. Next stop, the BLM range. Only shot about 100rds because the BLM closes at noon, due to fire season. Oh well, picked up a crap load of range brass. Even got the elusive 38spl shells. Hardly ever find those. And those are the ones I actually reload. Even had a guy give me 50 of them. Came home cleaned, my 357 and my 3 year old says, "daddy, can I see all your guns?" Ah bliss. Took him and my daughter into the bedroom and showed them the arsenal.

Now I'm gonna go have a beer and ponder life's most difficult question.

Do I shoot to reload, or do I reload to shoot?

Sounds like a fantastic day! Bet ya can't wait to get the kids out there with you.

So stoked for you Brother......a grand day.

And just the fact your baby 'wanted' to see Daddy's guns......

That is an awesome day except I didn't get to go. Ya, those Carl's Jr. burgers sure are good, especially the ranch burger with large fries and bottomless beverage of your choice. Mmm, mmm, good.

Nothing like a day at the range......seems therapeutic.

I didn't even shoulder a gun this weekend. and this week I am paying it forward in anticipation of next weekend. saturday at 4:30 I hook my boat up to my Snap-On guys truck and head to the river for some serious walleye time. then on Sunday I take my oldest son and his friend to do our special version of trap. DOVES!!!!!! we each have 4 boxes of shells and a bunch of decoys all ready to go.

And now I'm off to reload. My other form of therapy.

I have trouble deciding which I like best, shooting or reloading... I guess shooting but it sure is fun to stuff ammo together.

sounds like a good day, probably won't shoot until Thursday myself...

Oh yeah, nothing like the feel and smell of emptying a few boxes of ammo.

Hitting dead center a few times helps too.

Let me just end the day by saying, Today was a great day. Shooting, reloading, Pizza for dinner (Yea Baby no cooking tonight) and the best my boy asking to see all my guns. Yep today was a goodin.

I am one happy Appliancedude!
