No range.....

Post by OnaginOffagin »

Like many on here, I suppose, I lack daily access to an outdoor range.... and like many on here, I suppose, I'm a retiree on a fixed income, so I lack the funds for practice ammo, anyway.... The partial solution: dri-fire.

Here's my armory at my dri-fire station (I shoot through my front window)..... right next to my cup of decaff Japanese green tea! My Annie 1712 in a Wooster stock, and my Rem 700 in 260 Rem in a Wooster stock, both with Leupold glass. They feel almost identical, and I dri-fire two or three courses of fire a day, five on one animal with the Annie, and then five on the same animal with the Remington. Sure is convenient.....

And here's my targets, cut from white plastic and glued on to my mailbox mount across the street, scaled to 86'..... the neighbors can't see in my windows when I practice; if they're curious about the cutouts, they haven't asked me about it.

Do what you can with what you got.

I love it!

You know how many times I've driven down the road, or visited a shooter's house and see a target or silhouette out by the mailbox.

Makes me giggle thinking about all the passers-by. If they only knew...
