......to find some time to finish getting a couple of my rifles sighted in, and to "break the cherry" on my new pistole'.
Well by gosh I got'r done this evening!
It was a toss up as to whether I was gonna melt, or get carried off by the 'skeeters before I was finished! 
Finished sighting in the R-15(.223) first, and am very happy with the results. It just needed a touch up, because I had only zero'd it in @ 50 yards last time out. It hits about a 1/2 inch high @ 100 yards, and I put 6 rounds in a hole the size of a dime, so I called it a day on that one. 
The Stevens .17 caliber rifle wasn't even "on the paper" at 50 yards, so it took a little time to get it dialed in. I finally got 10 rounds in a hole the size of a quarter @ 100 yards and I was getting eaten alive by the skeeters!! Next up was the new Taurus Tracker .17 caliber pistol, I just ran about 25 rounds through it at 10 yards(open sights) just so I could hear it go bang and to make sure I could hit something with it if need be. That little pistol is a hoot to shoot! I am thinking with a scope and mount, it just might be decent little varmint pistol out to 100 yards or so.
All in all a pretty fun afternoon. It is now beer-thirty and time to clean the firearms before putting them back in the safe.

Sounds like a lot more fun than doing farm chores!

How wonderful. I LOVE my Tracker! Its a blast. okay , not a big blast , but a whole lotta cheap fun! With the rain we have had here, I have not had so much trouble for time, but reasonable weather. I picked up a .308 recently that even with it dialed to the far right wont play nice for me. I think I am going to have to replace the barrel all together 
None the less, my Tracker is my very favorite " there was a sound I dont like' gun when checking on the chickens and turkeys at 3AM

Cool . I miss going out to shoot. No longer owning a firearm is no longer for me. I was just looking up the CC laws for Ohio this evening.

I have to site in my 30.06 soon too....I was lucky to get the last deer I shot. Really lucky, it seems to be really off. 
I can't wait for cooler weather and deer season!!!

I just got this Tracker last Thursday morning. I had been looking for one for about 8 months, but just couldn't find the right deal. I was looking for one that was in Ohio so I could do a face to face cash sale(saves on the paper work if you know what I mean 
) Finally found a brand new one, still in the box and never fired! He wouldn't drop much on his price( I don't blame him!) so I made him drive the 3 hours to sell it to me.
