I did the same with a buddy that just got his first pistol, which is believe he did due to the times. I hadn’t had my guns out to shoot since pre-pandemic, it was a good time to make sure everything is clean, lubed, and in working order.
Hell ya! Tell him welcome to the club! I need to take my 30-30 and 30.6 with me next time to train some folks on long distance shooting. My shoulders bruised up from firing 30 round clips in a few seconds tho. Too much fun on private land.
You ever shoot .45-70? My father-in-law had a lever action Marlin chambered in that. That was the most my shoulder has ever hurt. I fired THREE rounds through it, and I was done for the rest of the day. My shoulder was bruised for a week. Holy crap. I’ve shot 30-06 before, I’ve shot .308. I’ve shot crappy old 12 guages with basically no cushion to the stock. Never experienced anything like that. Never again. Pretty sure he sold it after that one outing.
