Monday I had the day off. My club and range are a quarter mile away. When I have nothing to do, I go there, make a few bangs with one of my milsurps and shoot the sh.t with the guys. Usually spend more time jawing than shooting.
Today I grabbed my early Winchester M1 carbine, a couple of mags, 50 rounds and 15 clay pigeons.
When I got there, I was alone, so I set up the clays on the 50 yard berm, loaded a magazine with 15 rounds and proceeded to make 15 clays fly apart.
No more targets, no one to jaw with, I hang around awhile looking for something to shoot waiting for someone to come and chat with. No one comes, so I pack up and go home.
Next time I guess I'll have to bring more targets and use the 100 yard range. Problem with that is my eyes don't see so good anymore and I have trouble seeing the targets with iron sights at that range.
Ow well, a bad day at the range beats a good day at work anytime.
So back to the question, when shooting only 15 rounds, would you clean it?
