Bloody hell HaL, you could probably hit a spot on a gnats a.s.s @ 10ft.
Where you hiding the chain feed.
I'm calling you Grambo from now on.

 

[HiDesertHal]

Thank you, mozquito! My single-action Ruger .45 Blackhawk is a pleasurable handful to shoot!
All up and down the target range, they know when Hal lets one loose!

The Ruger pistols are strong enough to allow reloading to higher pressures, so I sometimes reload my .45 cases with extra powder to equal a .44 Magnum...that's when it's really loud, with heavy recoil!

 

[Trap Shooter]

Nice variety there Hal. Seems I can't upload my pics as it says
photo too large. Probably a good thing anyway with all that's
going on.

You need to resize the picture by about 50%. Atleast on my phone anyway.
I just use a resize app.

 

[Trap Shooter]

Yeah, I figured. Using a computer, kids are better at that stuff.

 

[Trap Shooter]

Just a couple of my babies.

 

[Trap Shooter]

Few more, Too many to list.

Just a couple of my babies.

The 4th one down in your rack looks like an '03 Springfield with bayonet.
I'd like to have your Colt 1911 Govt. model pistol!

[Trap Shooter]

That's a nice piece I picked up a little bit ago. Model 98 Brazillian
Mauser chambered in 30-06. Kicks like a mule. The 1911 is a Ruger.

 

[Trap Shooter]

I'd sure like to take your 700 and your Blackhawk for a test run. They'd
be some fun shooters. They all look great Hal

 

[HiDesertHal]

Thanks, Trapper!

 

[holtneil]

Well you guys have enough to shoot any thing down

 

[Trap Shooter]

Haha, I guess so. I mainly shoot trap, which is a little different than skeet.
But I love to do some plinking every now and then.
What do you enjoy Hal?

[Trap Shooter]

I enjoy other hobbies as well.

 

[HiDesertHal]

Doug, I enjoy other hobbies too, but when I yell "Pull" and follow the clay, I always miss!

I also enjoy Model Railroading, playing the Piano, Bass, and Guitar, and enjoying our 2 Dogs and 2 Cats.

For 15 years, I was a member of the High Desert Astronomical Society, but I dropped out and began selling my Telescopes.

When weather permits, I enjoy bike rides.
