In the middle of nowhere...

I had the chance last week to try out a new area to go shooting. My friend and I had decided to go way out past an old cemetery near Camp Floyd. There was an old dirt road out there which to say the least was very dusty, long and flat. (what dirt road isn't right?) This road, which crosses acres and acres of private property, was actually dustier and longer than most that I have been on. After near twenty miles of driving, we finally get off of the county road and crossing the private properties to reach the BLM land. Finally after more than an hour of driving in constant wind and dust, we pulled out the guns. .44 Special Taurus snub was the first to get shot while the AK47 and the 9mm Beretta Storm were the most memorable ones. The wind made for terrible accuracy when aiming at the targets, but emptying 32 round clips, one after another was invigorating. I was definitely relaxed and stress free from the prior week. I can't wait to go again and hopefully next time it will be a nicer day and maybe a little closer to home.
