Western MD Hooligan #007
A few warmly dressed Hooligans met at the Savage range at 0830 for 2.5 hrs of shooting rifles and pistols in 23*F, cloudy weather. We had to 4wd through about 15 inches of snow to play at the Savage River Range this morning, but it was worth it.
I was pleased that my 125 year old Springfield Trapdoor 45-70 was dead-on at 50 yards no matter who was shooting it. Now j8064 wants one too. Buff7mm has learned to watch the wind while lining up a shot in order to avoid the Black Powder cloud blowing back on him.
The new aperture sights on my Ruger 10/22 Takedown were adjusted just right last night and all three of us were all hitting within 5" at 50 yards. A really good day of shooting but cold, cold, cold, ....
j8064 let me fire his brand new Henry .45 Long Colt rifle and his replica Colt 6-shot revolver with the same 45LC cartridge. Very nice; just like the wild west. His Russian mil-surplus was bruising shoulders again this morning, but cycled beautifully in the cold.
Buff7mm's collection of pistols never ceases to amaze. The newly mounted Red Dot revealed just how much the cold affects your aim.
Perhaps will do some more winter Hooligan shoots
