I had a Ruger range day today. Edit: Pic added

I took my three Black Hawks out to my range today. Most of my groups were just barely under or over the 2.5" mark for five shots at 25 yards.

Using 9.0 grains of Unique under the Sierra 210 JHC the group was 1.8" so was my best five shot groups of the day. That was with my 5.5" Bisley flat top 44 special.

My next two groups behind that were 2.0" and 2.1". The better of those two was shot with my BH 45 Colt and the other was shot with my BH Flat top 45 Colt. All three guns have 5.5" barrels.

I had three additional groups that if I toss the widest shot out were: 1.35", 1.35" and 1.4". Two of those were with my newest the flat top 45 and the other was with my Bisley 44 special using the Skeeter Skelton load.

All were not so great sadly. I had one that was 5.1" hey I have no explaination for that one. Maybe I got some sweat in my shooting eye.  There was one at 4.4" also, yeah I think I had sweat in my eye then too. 

Of the 12 five shot groups today another was 3.1" but 9 of the 12 were under 2.5" and for my old shaky hands and poor eyes that's about as good as I can do. I'd bet a fellow who can shoot like I used to be able to could cut those groups in half easily with these three guns. Unlike most of the Ruger guns I've owned these are real shooters.

Heck Graybeard!
 Any day at the range popping caps is alot better than sitting in an office working!!
 A few more trips out to the range and you should ready for the Olympics!!

Naw, my competition days are long over. I retired in '95 so haven't had to spend a day at the office in what will soon be 17 years. But you are right it is fun to get out to the range and pop some caps. I am again putting a lot of lead down range with handguns something I've neglected for the last several years.

Still I'll never be able to shoot again the way I did back when I was competing regularly, had steady hands and better eyes.

Hope to be "In the same boat" pretty soon!!

Even when you shoot those " Large " groups due to the sweat..........its still fun.  Life is good , good to get out and enjoy yourself.  Took my youngest out tonight , shot some pretty lousy groups...but we were both smiling.
