That's a bummer. I feel lucky that I have my own short range in the back yard and my regular club is 8 miles away.
Shot like crap today

Tomorrow’s my day off...think I’m going to the one in Bird Island, should be less crowded, so if I am suffering from SLS, I’m the only witness...

Wow, you're up there! Have you been to the Rush Lake club in New York Mills? I guess they have a 1250 yard range. I have to check that out this summer. It might be worth the drive and the membership fee.Tomorrow’s my day off...think I’m going to the one in Bird Island, should be less crowded, so if I am suffering from SLS, I’m the only witness...

Went today
Go 3x a week on lunch. Range is open for 3 hrs, then closes and sells firearms per covid regulations on # of folks allowed in a store.
fortunate or unfortunate to be necessary job and out every day. Range is stress relief
put a few low left... had to switch to gun #2. Left target. Collect my thoughts.. go back to gun 1 and right target

I have red green colorblindness, red is too hard for me to pick up.
I changed all my front sights to green and it made all the difference, I can pick up the front sight quicker.

I think you have the wrong Bird Island; this one’s about 2 hours straight west of the Cities...NYM is a good 2-3 hours away.
But no, I haven’t checked out the Rush Lake range; I did used to belong to the Harris club when I lived in St Paul 20 years ago...they’ve got a 1000yd range.

I think we all have those days.
The trick is to not let the days get into your head, use it as a learning curve.
When I have an off day at the range I analyze why.
Trigger pull.
Breathing.
Eyes wide open.
Grip.
Ammo.
99% of the time the next trip I’m spot on.

I have done that before. If the first shot looks like I shot it from a bench rest, I'm done. It is only going to get worse from there.
Gotcha. For some reason I thought it was due north. In that case, have fun over there today.

Well, it’s a little cool, but I’m gonna go before the wind comes up.
On the menu...
Sig 229 .357
S&W 617
LB .45
Possibly the 10/22 I put in a Boyd's stock over the winter and need to rezero.

Well...that was a bust. Got partway there, and the wind really started picking up...no protection from the wind direction, and I knew targets wouldn’t stay stapled...and in my haste to get out before the weather changed, I forgot my #@%* gongs.
Oh well. Maybe this weekend.

What really sucks...on an day like this, I’d usually call a buddy, and we'd go for lunch, have a few beers...and it's really bugging me it's not an option.
Poop and other vulgarities.

It does suck a lot. I miss grilling and having a beer with my buddies. Poop indeed. Thank you for being smart enough to not go to the protests in St. Paul despite how irritating this nonsense is. I'm both interested and depressed to see what our sickness number do 14 days from last Thursday.

Made it out. A buddy met me there...we made some noise.
And a little quiet, too.

I found out today the local outdoor range is open so I’m planning on early next week to take both my AR pistols and send lead down range.
The Victor in 300 BO will be to check out the changes with the new stock brace.
The Saint Edge Pistol in 5.56 will be to start the break in process and adjust the gas block if needed.
And of course have fun shooting.
If you live in Kentucky check out
Knob Creek near Fort Knox.

I know where it is, but no longer live in that area. I went to high school in Radliff (Class of '71).
I was at the range yesterday, I took my Ruger 10-22 that I had installed a scope on that had been given to me. ten shots and I was sighted in. the other rifle a mini 14 was another story. I had installed a new gas vent and was having a fit getting it adjusted. I need to go back and finish the job. Some times you just need to except the fact your having a bad day and enjoy the day shot on . I was on a out door range in in the woods I got to see an Eagle, a Tom turkey showing off, a doe and a fawn. It was a great day. Leaving home to get away from your wife can have an impact on you shooting.
