Impromptu day at the range

Woke up this morning expecting to be watching my daughter, but she wanted to go out with my wife.. so needless to say I went to the range. :)

Took out the 22lr, and at 25 yards put 17 shots inside of the circle on the Army's target used for zeroing the M4's. Marlin 60, 4x scope. *yawn*, piece of cake. Hadn't shot it in about 3 years though, so it was fun.

Pulled out the .223 bolt and moved only to 50 yards because the wind was ridiculous. Thought I could minimize it's affect. Considering the wind and the accuracy of my rifle/ammo , I shot an OK 3 shot group, about .80"

Noticed on my lane, someone had put 3 rocks on the 300 yard line. I had about 3"x5" visibile of them. So here goes.. 2 Kentucky windage shots and then hit 4 out of 6 times. It was pretty fun! I'm still learning how to shoot in wind. Back east a really bad day was about the same wind as a good day out here. Elevation I'm pretty comfortable with.

Have a great day everyone, just wanted to tell someone about my day at the range.
 
Sounds like you're having a fine day, and thanks for wishing one on us. It's been good so far for me. I got up early and went out to my favorite deer/pig/coyote stand (box blind, about 15 feet up, with windows and swivel chair). I had a little coffee and watched the sun come up. A few deer wandered by, and then....here came that whole herd of pigs that I've been trying unsuccessfully to trap. Must've been 15 of em. I picked out the biggest and the rest ran off and didn't peek out again. Then back to the workshop to finish up some reloading. And while I did all that, my wife mowed the yard. Can it get any better than that?
