Nutt’n!Away from home. But, when I get back home, I’ll make that long 40 yard trip to the bench....for the rifles or the long range handguns. Or perhaps, shoot the short barrel handguns from the front porch. Decisions- Decisions!

I've been feeling withdrawal symptoms for the last few days as I missed my usual range trip last week. Now all this talk of range trips and firearms is giving me the shakes.
I need to grab a couple and head to the range. Going to have to be short guns since we are going to have storms by the time I get there.
I got the urge to go to the range too. But not today, as it has been raining a lot since last night. I hate to squish through all the mud to setup targets, etc at the range. But likely it would be with some 22 rimfires though. With the ammo shortages and high costs for ammo, it is hard to go and shoot something centerfire right now.
Raining again today, so I'll pass, but tomorrow I have some 357 Sig Loads to try, some 32 and 327 fodder to burn up and a 9mm that needs some trigger time.
Hopefully the weather will lighten up.

Just spread top soil and grass seed other day on it. Just came in from moving the sprinkler. Was planning on more rain but for once they changed the forecast to nicer weather. Trying to knock down dust in the house as that was the last open area. Yea, walk out backdoor to the pistol range. Still have to frame, insulate, etc. inside portion then I can get started on the rifle range. Some day I keep saying. Got some kind of stomach bug with nasty gas pains, headaches, etc that is going around. Give me 24 hours and it will be gone. Not gonna tell you where I am typing this from

Ha next thing we know you'll be telling us you have your reloading gear on the porch and you don't have to git up to test new loads or NAPOriginally Posted by memtb

How do you like the LabRadar, I like the idea if it works as advertised?Packing things up for today's range time , gonna bring the LabRadar and check some 44 special and some 45 auto. Loads .

Not quite.....I have to travel all the way down into the basement! It’s a long trip, but.....sometimes you just have to make compromises!Ha next thing we know you'll be telling us you have your reloading gear on the porch and you don't have to git up to test new loads or NAP
It should ease the pain knowing that I don’t have a LabRadar.....just the old fashion kind!

I got it because most of the time I shoot at an indoor range , it works great inside
If a guy has a private place to shoot I would say it's to expensive other good choices for a lot less . But if you shoot on public ranges it is a great way to go . Has a bit of a learning curve but if you use it often and follow the directions it works great .
Thanks, I interested in finding accurate bc numbers. If it will show velocity at multiple ranges it may be worth the cost.I got it because most of the time I shoot at an indoor range , it works great inside

I've used mine for a few months now. I have had regular chronos over the years and like this one a lot better. I can change target areas without having to get up from the bench or walk in front of the firing line. I can also shoot in early morning (std chronos don't like all the stray light) or on cloudy days.
If you want to use it standing then it needs to be on a tripod. On windy days you might have problems with it blowing over unless you secure the tripod somehow.
It does have to be 'aimed' correctly and it will 'miss' a shot every now and then (1 out of 40 shots maybe). It has a fairly narrow 'cone' that it measures. Gives consistent results.
It measures velocity out to 75yd on a fairly regular basis with .30cal bullets. The .223 bullets sometimes only 50yd. Max is 100yd.
Some people have problems with them. I have not, but, we have a pretty open range with not much to reflect the radar beam.
My Grandson needs to re-sight his .204 Ruger and I will take my Handi in .223 to work off the bench. I also just received a 15-5 S& W in .38 Special that will be really dirty before we are done! hc18flyer ��
Happiness is a dirty revolver! We shot 200 rounds thru the S & W model # 15. First we adjusted the sights, then started work on the plate rack! My Grandson liked breaking bluerocks, and finished the am with a shaken can of Dr Pepper! He may have to learn to reload his own ammo! It was a GREAT MORNING for both of us!

Went with my Air Lite 325PD and Steyr M-40 gen 1.

Stubshaft what do you think of your Steyr ?
I LOVE IT! The bore is closer to the hand, Gen 1's actually also have an integral safety, it fits my hand well and it is accurate. I put a set of Talon style grips on it and it is good to go. I have used it for EDC with a pancake holster and find it comfortable and easily packed. Plus it holds 12+1 .40 S&W.
The trapezoidal sights are unique and some do not like them but I love them as they seem to draw my eye right to the tip of the front sight.

stubshaft I have looked at those several times and been very tempted . Don't post anything else good about it , I have to many nines already
I would like to try those sights but my eyes are getting bad enough I fear I won't be able to hold elevation with them.
Just a Uberti 50-95 loaded with black powder , and a Pedersoli Sharps 40-90ss also loaded with black , poor rock .
