First the disclaimers.
1) My left knee went south on February 2nd and I haven’t been able to get to the range. 2) My knee replacement was February 23rd, and I can’t shoot with a cane. So the foundation is a little shaky.

So, should I start with something little like a 22??………it’s like you don’t even know me!

357 Magnums!

all shots at 10 yards but the rifle which was 25 yards.

This is for the disclaimers, not great. (125 grain 357 magnums)

Much better, after a little warm up and figuring out a steady position.

Likely the most fun rifle I own. Winchester 92 in 357 Magnum, saddle ring carbine.

I just had to get a 45 acp in there. Glock model 30, 230 grain ball ammunition.

That’s a little better.

But I’m still cooking. Therapy says I’m doing great.

I’ve invented some new profanities, haven’t taken any pain meds for two weeks (didn’t like how I felt)

lightly breaded chicken tenderloin, Garlic Alfredo sauce with chopped onions and peppers.

One of the best liked post are about PaPa cooking. I’ve always said the best cooks are people who have been hungry.
my wonderful Mother taught me to cook, not necessarily recipes, but how to cook.

Queso Chicken

Paella with Smoked Sausage

Beef and Bowtie soup

We found some chicken pattys that we like doing in the air fryer. Cream sauce and veggies over Angelhair pasta

Same pattys with Marinara and Spagetti

didn’t forget the Beef and veggie mix

Steak tips and rice

Don’t think Mama can’t cook too. Awesome Meatloaf and salsa

Mama’s roast is excellent.

I’m getting a knee replacement in a week, but I can still go to the range.

Everything was at 10 yards, double action except where annotated.

this Model 19 S&W is 30 years old. Still shoots great.

S&W 586 L-Comp, my favorite carry wheel gun.

Belly gun has to be a little closer. This was 6 yards, double action only.

Ruger SP101 with a bunch of work done.

357 Magnum Day

Winchester Model 92, 357 Magnum. These are 125 grain, I think maybe 158 or even 200 May group better at 25 yards.

Ever shoot a brick? I need a bipod with this thing. But it shoots pretty well with 125 grain at 10 yards.

“Get Offa Me” gun. Ruger SP 101, strong hand only.

Fun Gun. Freedom Arms Model 97

Everything was 125 grain, 357 Magnum at 10 yards. Except the Winchester at 25.

My knee surgery is a month old and I feel better than I have in a long time. Returning to work on Sept. 2nd.

So, it’s time to try it out at the range. Should I start with something small, like a 22??

It’s like you don’t even know me……44 MAGNUM DAY!! (All shooting at 10 yards but the rifle, it was at 25)

Henry Big Boy Steel, shoots a little high

S&W PC model

S&W model 29, engraved and Performance Center action.

This one started life as a Ruger Super Blackhawk, it’s been around the block a bit. Lots of custom work.
