Another outing with Earl
Posted: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 08:17:06
I had about 2 hours between getting off work and before a motorcycle club dinner, so I went back to Sharpshooter's range (http://www.sharpshootersva.com) with a brick of blazer .22lr, my Jiminez JA-22 and The Earl. As I have an annual membership, this trip to the range cost me exactly squat! I had some of my printie targets with me, along with some of those bright orange dots I can put in the center, so I can find something to contrast my sights against.
To make a long story short, there was MUCH
I was able to make pretty nice holes at a close range. My sight picture sucks, but it was FUN! I put enough of that Blazer ammo through it that the cylinder felt sticky, and my finger was silver from all the powder residue.
I won't win any prizes for accuracy or points, but after a day at work, NOTHING feels better than cycling a couple of hundred rounds through your favorite toy.
