Northern Virginia Roll Call

Oh man...look what I found emptying a moving box in the closet. I must have forgot about stuff and just threw everything in the closet when I moved in a year ago. It'll go w the rest of the stash.

 

So jealous right now; I've needed to pick up some .22 for freakin' weeks.

 

Like finding the holy grail.

 

Nice find!

I bought my Wife a Ruger 10/22 compact (for her little T-Rex arms. Haha) a little over a year ago. Dang thing has yet to go bang because of Life things and this C19 crap getting in the way.

 

Yeah, I'm both fortunate and unfortunate enough to be on enough land that I have a little steel target range set up....makes it real hard to hang onto ammo, because reasons.

 

Rite rite.

A friend on the other side of the state keeps a leaver action 22 in his bath room. I shit you not... that fool will pluck squirrels while on the toilet.

 

#Goals

 

Hey I'd do it if the wife wouldn't lose it every time I did....but now, the solution to that seems more to be a silencer tax stamp, and less the 'not doing it' part.

 

It's only 5 acres, so I limit myself to pistols....but its still a blast(pun intended). My next spot will have a range that's more set up for rifles.

 

5+ acres is what I will be looking for when I move back to VA in a few years. That way I won't have to drive back to the family homestead in OH to get some trigger time in (I don't like indoor ranges).

 

You just have to show her how much fun it is.

 

Me either! I seem to do a lot better when I can adjust my surroundings to help me improve continuously when running drills. Plus, I like the ability to adjust the range depending on how I plan on shooting that day. The only regret I have from the purchase of this particular house is that I didn't wait to find one on more property. We are a big moto family as well, so the more space for dirt bikes/quads/side-by-sides, the better off we are. hahaha

 

Meh, she knows....and even with a warning, it would still likely startle her or the kids and create some sort of issue. BUT.....I'm still willing to give it a shot

 

Completely agree...the more space the better, especially for the surroundings and the freedom of movement. We have actually already started looking at land plots in NoVA. Never too soon to start planning!

A few of my issues with the indoor ranges is the artificial feeling of it and the proximity to others, particularly those who have no business with a firearm in their hands.

 

BINGO!

 

The old tacoma has some new shoes on the way. They're coming from canada, so i'm hoping they're not square.

 

Ha ha! Wifey said they're not square any more, They are rounded like an Octagon.

What'd ya get?

 

That ammo looks expired to me. I can take it and make sure it is properly disposed of. Just let me know.
