    The past few years I have gotten into a funk.I hardly ever shoot, but I still collect. It's time to change that. My new goal is to throw some lead down range once a week.
    Today I am taking out my Ruger No1 International chambered in 7x57. I bought this rifle in June 2013 and have only shot it one time. I should be ashamed.

    My 8 year old son shooting a pistol for the first time, actually hitting 2" shoot-n-see targets at 25 yards!!! Needless to say, I was VERY impressed!

    Getting ready to go to the range tomorrow. Casting some .50 and .54 cal bullets, rolling some paper cartridges for my Sharps paper cutter.

    Going to be a nice day. Going by my self for some alone time that I've been needing. Work has been getting to me lately. Dang city code enforcement wanting to inspect the property. No violations, just want to make sure that I'm not a slum lord. Tenants must volunteer for the inspection and be home on that day. If not enough volunteers they get a court order and come back. Guess what I'll do is whoever volunteers give them a $50.00 break on there rent.

    Enough rant got to get the pot warmed up.

    Hit the range late yesterday. I have been thinking of shooting a three gun match this summer. Spent some time with my Rem 870 HD and some steel targets. Good time.

    I forgot how fun this shooting can be. Gonna hit it again this week.
    Anyone have any range drills they use for Shotgun ??

    Tactical run? I think the only range in the State of Illinois that has a tactical run is Owned by the ISRA (Il State Rifle Association).
