.22LR Plinking

Here we are again.  Been wanting to come up & shoot some Ruger SR22(a .22 pistol) & Glock 19(9mm).  Been pushed back due to flaky buddy or weather, but we made it here today.  :) 

Remington 597 .22LR rifle - AKA "MEH"  Scope is Redfield Revenge 2~7.

Brought my Bushmaster .308, but we didn't shoot it today.  Just light plinking mostly with .22LR & couple boxes of 9mm(that's 100 rounds).

Ruger SR22 pistol.  I never shoot this thing.  Even during the .22LR shortage, I had stockpile of .22 rounds, but I still didn't shoot this, or my Remington 597.  I was too busy with the .45ACP, 9mm & .308.  Friend who went with me today, he doesn't own any guns, but he's a fan of .22's.  He's probably shot my 597 more than I have.  Today, he definitely shot more than me. lol

Unless you are shooting, finger on the trigger is a no-no(big safety risk).  In my defense, I had just unpacked the gun & it wasn't even loaded yet.  My .22's are NEVER loaded at home.  NEVER.

There are..... other people's kids at this shooting spot(that's me being diplomatic).  They leave smaller appliances behind, spent shells, casings & other garbage(we pick up some of their trash, along with our own).  Another thing they were into was shooting into this poor tree.  Every time we been there, there was little more carved off this tree.  I was afraid that one day, we were going to find this tree on the ground, blocking the road.  Today, it seems that loggers been at it & it was neatly cut down.  

My buddy started getting busy with the rifle.

While my buddy was shooting paper targets with the rifle, I was having fun with the .22 pistol & 9mm on this self-sealing spinner target.  I also had one of these miniature floormat display next to it:

I've been using this one for while, but poor guy finally had enough today.  I'm gonna try to put it back together with duct tape or something, but I think it might be done.  :(

More Ruger SR22.

Trying my new gloves.  Mechanix Wear Original Tactical Gloves($21-ish).  I've been wearing thick gloves ever since my gun blew up, but it's been difficult to reload with thick gloves, so I was trying out gloves with less thickness.  It worked.  It's much easier to reload, but they are pretty flimsy & I'm less protected, so oh well.  :p

My buddy shooting my handgun target for fun. lol
