Good Shooting! \/
26th LGS,
A GREAT day on the range this morning, finally, clear beautiful Blue skies, Temp 34-36°F, wind at 12-14 right out of the North into my eyes, I brought out my NM M1A, using Radway Green surplus ammo from 1988 production run (Lot # A4/1818 23.5.88), I never shot Military surplus before it's time. But this was a little green at only 17 years old. 100 yard range target off the bench with using only my bad eye, rapid fire. Well the first string was a 192-5X, 2nd group at a little better with a 196-9X on paper target. The wind-chill had the feeling of only 21°F and the cold got the better of me and I stop right there, without engaging the 560 yard targets......
Bottom line, the Radway Green surplus ammo didn't do as well as the Santa Barbra surplus I used last week...
I needed something to warm these old bones up so I stopped at the Smokehouse on the way home and picked up a 1/2lbs smoked green chilies cheese Burger covered with onions and steak fries. I feel much better now , don't tell the wife 26th LGS.

Great reports! --- but I'm here stuck at work in ABQ
It sounds like you shoot at Zia. Next time you decide to go to the range, let me know & I'll bring my toys

26th LGS,
A GREAT day on the range this morning, finally, all clear and beautiful Blue skies with very few white clouds around, Temp 43-45°F, wind at 7-9 MPH right out of the North, I brought out my M1A NM, using Hirtenberger surplus ammo from 1978 production run headstamp HP, I never shot Military surplus before it's time. A good twenty seven year old was what the doctor had ordered this fine day on the range. 100 yard range target off the bench with using only my bad eye. Well the first string was a 188-5X, 2nd group was a little better with a 190-3X on paper target. Then I moved onto the 560 yard targets, 10 for 20 hits, 50% not that good. I did stop at the Smoke House on the way home......

Hey, fellow New Mexicans! What I wouldn't give for a good green chile cheeseburger right about now! I left ABQ in '94, and don't get back there often enough. Sure miss heading out to the Rio Puerco and defending the city from attacking beer cans. It's a lot harder to find a good place to shoot up here in Seattle.
I have heard from friends that the range on the West Side is a good 'un, but I think it got built after I left....at any rate, I haven't been there yet.
