I needed Range Therapy Today
Perfect weather for it.

Making steel clang with my IDF FN K98 .22 trainer.




Finally got a correct magazine for my Frommer 27M .380 (Only took 10 years Eek ) & ran a mag through my P7 (Functioned perfect as usual).





Cheaper than a 50 minute hour on the couch and lots more fun. Smile

I agree that range time is excellent therapy. This is what I use for that purpose:

I did the same thing today. But with a boring AR.

Older pictures of some of my "group therapy." Smile





I haven't been shooting for some time (reasons for another time), but hope to remedy it some day.

Funny, people not familiar with firearms don’t realize how shooting clears the mind.

My wife always mentions how relaxed she feels when we’re on our way home from the range.

Then again, non-shooters don’t realize what a perishable skill it is and how frustrating it can be when you’re off your game.

I guess that’s why someone invented golf for them. Smile

I agree about the Range being a sort of therapeutic outing, but Golf?

I tried to get into Golf on two different occasions during my life - I can honestly say - there was nothing calming about it Mad.

Our range day is coming up Monday, going to borrow a friends Poly 80 G26 with a red dot again, I've had the chance to borrow it a couple of times now, I really like it.

Now that is therapy. I could use a flame thrower. Do you load your own ammo?

I've been needing some therapy. Haven't been to the range in a while and am hoping to go next week.

Coincidence. I just finished having work done on my G26. David Bowie did a grip reduction, stippling and undercut snd Jagerwerks did milling for an RMR type 2 and nitride finish for the slide.

Dave Spaulding has a class tomorrow on Red Dots, so Ill spend the day trying to learn a little more about using it.

I’m also taking my 320cRX. The Romeo1 has a larger window, so it’s been easier for me to shoot.

Hopefully I’ll get some time and experience on the G26. It’s always been my favorite for daily carry.

Yes, I do. That is a 300-gr JSP bullet over a very large charge of H-110 powder (safe, but large). However, commercial ammo is also pretty spectacular -- the JSP load from IMI is good.
