Bad range day
« on: April 09, 2009, 11:56:50 AM »
I finally got the chance to shoot my colt saa today. I loaded up a couple of guns in my range bag I also wanted to shoot, grabbed my ammo and off I went. I get to the range and I forgot to grab the colt. :-[

I'm pretty mad at myself for having such a senior moment at the very young age of 44 but I figure what the heck, I'll just shoot my gold cup (which I haven't really shot much either). Guess what? No 45 acp. They're sold out. :-[

 My buddy donated some 357 (60 rounds) so I could shoot my 686 and I spent about 300 22 lr's. He also let me run a couple of mags out of his high power 9mm. Very comfortable to shoot but the trigger feels like it has sand in it.

I don't get to go to the range very often and this was a great chance to shoot some new to me guns and I blew it.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I guess I need to get my press out of hibernation and start reloading again so I'm prepared next time.

I'm right there with you brother,
I went to the range today also.  I took my old reliable Encore in 308.  Got there an hour early (to make sure that I got a bench).  Set up my target and got everything ready to shoot.  Upon the command to fire I loaded 1 round and pulled back the hammer.  The hammer spring BROKE...

C'est la vie...
If I agreed with you then we would both be wrong.
