range night all went super
« on: July 30, 2009, 03:04:45 PM »
I had a chance to get to the range to night only draw-back in the evening max: distance 75 yards
I took the 30-06 but did change poeder back to IMR 3031 40.0 grains on the button with remington 165 Sp C.O.A.L.3.300

I have to post this here I know it not a handi: but I can tell you it was on it way to the garden to be a stake in the ground
243 cal. SPR18 picture will tell it all

Hello from Georgia,

   I have always liked shooting at night. We have had some very interesting shoots at my range that have started at dark. I simply put good reflective tape on the plates , and place reflective "deer eyes" on a target and iluminate them with a flashlight . It is fun to hit things at 300 + yards when the temperature drops after a long hot summer day.  I have also heard of people putting light sticks in helium balloons tied to remote control cars to make a cool moving target. We have actually completed a few "experiments" that were very cool to see at night. With a good safe place to shoot, understanding neighbors(few), and a few guns, we are truly blessed. Have a good weekend.

Pretty good shootin' there Lonewolf, but it looks like you pulled one 1/4" with the 06.  Try and do better next time..... ;D

I know that one shot off a 1/4" it did upset me :but it was not the rifle more like old age and human error,at 63 the boddy it not what it use to be.I did better with the 243 cal. a lot less recoil
