I fired two .30-30s a few days ago.
One was a Marlin 30AS (336). The other a
Savage 340 bolt rifle.
Was trying my first .30-30 reloads. Worked fine
although I wobbled around a lot in offhand due to
not having shot rifles for a while.
Going to make some more reloads and try again
later.
Tikka 595 Master Sporter in 308W, 100 and 600 yards.
I also shot a Tisas 9mm 1911 that ran great, 9mm PCC, and my 223 bolt gun.

I spent another day at the Whittington Center yesterday.
They have a steel Buffalo at 1120 yards and I was able to make several hits on it with the old target rifle in 30-06.

6.5 Grendel, 16" steel, 1040yds, -10deg angle, 5-10mph.

Dogs are in the back of the property, by the chicken enclosure.
They start going nuts, so the Mrs. goes to see what's up.
Then the shrill screaming starts, so I hobble from the front where I'm working, to the back to find the dogs cornered a copperhead.
Guess neither was bit, because they're still here, looking for food, and where the snake went.
22 snake shot rocks.
Another kill for that old Colt.

I shot a sprinter match at the local club, using my M&P9 CORE/ACRO. Need to up my conditioning.
Decided to do a comparison of my pocket pistols today. Turns out the LCRs (one .357 and one .38) with .38 loads kick harder than any of the 9mms. No big surprise. Wouldn't be much of an issue if not for the problem I've been having with my wrist over the past couple years. I supposed I don't really need them, there probably isn't a practical situation where the LCR has any advantage over the 365 to me, but only a communist doesn't keep a 5-shot .38 snubby in their sock drawer.
The G43 kicked a little bit more than the P365 and G26.3, the 365 and 26 were actually very close. I wish the P365 had just a little more distance from the back of the grip to the trigger for my medium-large hands but otherwise the 365 with the WC grip module is pretty sweet.
At the last second I decided to grab my M9-22 and 21a for funsies. They are the most fun handguns I own.

Last Sunday I shot my SIG 320 AXG PRO in a Hades Consulting 1 day pistol class at The Ranch in Dilley, TX.
Great class. Zack and Charlie have a well developed program of instruction but they also did a great job flexing to accommodate the weather (intermittent rain).
We shot the Hades Consulting diagnostic cold at the start of the class and again at the end of class.
We spent half the day working accuracy and fundamentals at 25 yards and half working speed, draws, and transitions at 7 yards. In both instances the class was about refining fundamentals.
Most of the class were skilled an experienced shooters including an MSP double black belt patch holder, the director of training for Stacatto (retired USMS SOG) and the CEO of Stacatto. All got something out of the class. (PS - Skilled shooters in the gun industry are not common, CEOs who are skilled shooters are rare. It was a pleasure shooting with him.)
25 yard B8 - no time.
