At the range

[HUnter_zero 58]

Well it's that time of year again that I can finally get up the range to test reloads and hone my rifle skills.

 

The range I shoot on is simply a field in the middle of these Welsh hills, the drive is through common land, dirt tracks and woodland, until finally the range is insight, so dry weather is a must.

 

I've just dug out my bench rest and given it a lick of wood preserver, check my tripod and my spotting scope for suitability and then it occurred to me.

 

 

Why in hells name do I bother with all this equipment?

My complete set-up is some what of a portable ballistics lab. Bench rest, spotting scope, chronograph connected to a laptop which is connected to the 4x4 as an external power source and a seat. I was even thinking of making a portable reloading set up for ammunition development

 

Just wondering what you guys take and use up the range?
