Day after Christmas family & Friends range day. . Do you?

I was invited to 3 shoots held today (The day after Christmas) But I’m already doing my own.
Is this a thing where you live? I think it has grown from so many getting a Firearms for Christmas Gifts and wanting to get out and shoot them. It is near tradition where I live. The only thing that breaks it is a good snow. . . then we all go rabbit hunting instead :slightly_smiling_face:

I wish! I’m back at work. No time to play with the new toys ! But those psa gift cards are always beautiful !!
Just got the first ak few weeks ago, what’s next ? Jakl in 300?

Why yes we do. We go to the range often. :+1:t2:

Never been to “a shoot”. I’m a loner. Its either solo or the wife and kids go. Or just me and the oldest. Am I weird? Lol

Weird. Well you did live in that other state for a long time soooo. Now it’s just the wife and I, we are loners and don’t play well with others👿.

Well I forgot to get any video until the day was winding up. We had been doing drills for something like 4 hours and this old fat man was out of gas :older_man:t2:.
That said we all had fun, here is the last run of the day. Enjoy (and yes I did fail to get my mag all the way in on my New 1911, so YES that click at the vary end is operator error :persevere:)

The owners of range that I am a member of are taking the week off for time with family, and hopefully it will be a blessed time for them. :grinning:

Sadly, I don’t hear about such things around here, but maybe I need to get out more? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That does look like great fun! Thank you for sharing.
Oh, yeah…. Why is the ground white? (Just being silly. The only “snow” that we see down here are the fallen leaves! :rofl:)

i’ve done a buncha friend shoots, and thyey are always a blast (pun intended). Not only were they fun, but they were also educational, and many times folks who had different firearms than i did who came to the shoot would want to shoot the guns i have, and vice versa so we get to get profi8cient with other firearms that you may or may not have ever seen before. That makes it a lot of fun always.

unfortunately the day after christmas shoot i’ve never experienced, as no one has ever called me to go and ive never thought much about getting a group together. I do think its a great idea and sounds like so much fun.

perhaps im like many folks, i need to get out more lol ’

Would loved to have gone to the range but it has 3 feet of snow on it right now, we’re having a tough winter that started early up by the 49th. Last was a night shoot mid November, having withdrawals and a bit envious of southerners about now.

Dreaming of shorts weather and my short stroked PX 9 at the range.

@Simple_Man and i went shooting today. Lots of mags through both our AK-Vs, bump fired for full effect. Had a couple pistols and rifles also. Any day shooting is a good day.

The AK-V is so much fun on the range, but sadly it bump fires so easily that I have to very cautious because of the number of LEO/Fed/ATF personnel that frequent the range. Just trying to avoid any unwarranted “Imperial entanglements” due to a mistaken use of inadvertently rapid firing.
:crazy_face:

Not the day after Christmas, but didn’t want to start yet another thread - quit counting Dagger threads of one sort or another at 359. :rofl:

Anyway, wife’s brother just got a new toy S&W FPC 9. He also had another AR that he had not hot a chance to fire yet. Few pistols and a 12ga. just for fun. The gun shop threw in a toy scope with the FPC. Horrible. The Radical Arms AR came with an 'Amazon special’CVLife red green illuminated reticle. Not bad for short range. Didn’t have illumination turned on and I hit bullseye at 66 yds anyway with a lot of sun glare, could barely make out horizontal cross hair. We also fired from 75 yards, but we were shooting at target with no back stop . At 66 we have downward trajectory, much safer. All was just for fun.


looks like a good time was had. i think i need to shoot more … i really do.

I don’t have any friends around here. When I go to the range, it’s with my wife, my brother, or both. We’ve tried to get another brother (I have 5) to go, but he hasn’t taken the offers yet.
