I having big scopes and ballistic programs is nice and all but something sure is fun about hitting small targets at distance with iorns

Took my 521-T out to the cow pasture to shoot like I used to when I was a kid ( dad put out a old Oxygen tank and some random odds and ends thay made dinging sounds for me to shoot )and decided to put a 4" gong out at 100 and see what I could do off a front bag. 5 rounds to see what was going on and Ding Ding Ding



Wish .22lr was easier to find because I probably could have sat out their all evening with a bulk pack of thunder bolts just plinking away lol but figured a hand full was more than enough. Filmed it all too with three separate camera (one on me one on the long view out to the target and one right at the target ) so guess I'll go edit those together and hopefully have it posted soon

Not with my old eyes lol

I was thinking this as I was reading the post! That front sight seems to have gotten blurry for some reason.

Not sure about this year, but the previous years Midway had some good sales on bulk .22 ammo. I’ve bought 1,000 rounds or better every Spring for the last several years.

Thats goood shootin ,but as said above enjoy while you can .

Peeps are good out to bout 150 yds for me these days.
Been liking them since about ‘69 or ‘70.

Enjoy yer eyes while ya got em.

Yep...

I am seriously thinking about starting to shoot my iron site guns from the hip. With my fading eyesight, it can't hurt. I see far just fine.
I watched a video of a WWII marine who went to the South Pacific and was issued a M1 Garand. He taught himself to shoot it from the hip like some would do with a Browning BAR. He was deadly with it that way.

I wish I lived closer (a LOT closer!), I think we could be good friends.

Nice!! I can see the rear sight, front sight, and the target. Just can't see em all at the same time anymore

That's some good shootin' and looks like fun. I've found my old eyes do a lot better with a nice rear peep like you have on that 521-T than with open irons.

Good shooting wolf , looks like fun

That sums up the situation perfectly!

Nice shooting

looking good , I like peeps also.

I agree I wish I could find 22lr decent now , I think most of the time I could actually be happy just playing 22s when you get between 100 and 200 and you start having to make wind calls , it is good training.

Good shooting!

Try out some pcp pellet guns.. you will be blown away on what can be don with them.

Lol sorry guys I forgot y'all are a lil older lol

I did some shooting today also. I went out to the hunting cabin Saturday morning, figured my last trip till meltdown as snow is getting quite deep. Truck was pushing snow with the bumper most of the half mile in. I was shooting that $99 Walmart 12 gauge, that didn't blow up in my face...Lol Shooting it with slugs using some Tru Glo turkey sites that screw to the vent rib. I have 100 yards marked and was shooting a solid 65 yards and putting them all in a 5 inch circle. Smooth bore 28 inch modified choke. Breneke KO slugs. I too still like iron sites. But my eyes have to focus and squeeze it off, if I fiddle around more than 15 seconds or so, then yeah that front site starts playing games. Anyhow the cheap shotgun will kill a deer or pig at the ranges I mostly hunt.
