50'

I went to the range the other night for some long-overdue target practice. I stay away from the ranges from about three weeks before whitetail season begins and its end. The ranges are often chock-a-block with Cletii sighting in their rifles, often to comical extent. I'm told that there was one gent shooting his new flattop AR, at least until the range safety officer saw that he had yet to attach any type of sights and invited that particular Cletus to go shoot somewhere else.

The range sells 25 yard timed/rapid-fire targets. I have a bunch of 25 yard slow-fire targets, but I forgot to bring any. They had 50' slow-fire targets. The ten-ring is about the size of an aspirin tablet, or so it seemed. I was able to barely break 80 with my Model 17 and I felt pretty good about that.

And I'm kinda sorta on the hunt for another revolver. I'm thinking N-frame, maybe a Model 28 or a Model 20. If I come across a Model 21 or 22, I won't turn my nose up. The pre-war .38/44s and 3rd Model Hand Ejectors are likely too damn pricey.
