Done a little shooting at clays, notice I say, "shooting at" not "shooting clays" :wall:
I need to work on that.
I like to shoot at Gunport, aka First Class Arms Training in Coden, AL.
My wife can almost out shoot me with a handgun... I try not to piss'er off too much.
As she keeps her EDC, a Rossi 3" .357 revolver, loaded with .38spc +P, with her at all times.
I EDC my favorite Springfield XD9 4" Service model, loaded with Speer Gold Dot 9mm 124gr +P.
This is one of my favorite boom sticks, Saiga 12, fully converted.

I love my Marlin Model 60, if I do my part we end up with 25M targets like these all day long.
Thats 15 shots rapid fire, using the USGI sling from prone.
