As promised, Eagle Creek Pistol Range re-opened yesterday under new management. As threatened, we were there.
I ran through my usual workout with the 22/45, but most of the shooting time yesterday was spent getting my double action revolver-fu back up to speed. Other than occasionally running a couple cylinders through my 4" K-22, I've spent too little time lately doing anything other than dry-fire with the revolvers.
On the left in the photo is my Model 34 and on the right is my Model 64, both of which got a good workout (along with my trigger finger) yesterday, doing lots and lots of fast double-action shooting, as well as making sure to get in plenty of strong-hand-only and weak-hand-only shooting with my 432PD and its rimfire understudy.
I made sure the zombie's left eye was good and shot out so I could do the goofy "I see you!" thing at my roomie, blinking through the hole, when we replaced our targets before we left. ("Your mother probably doesn't shoot here, so please clean up after yourselves!")
The Jack had also shown up at the range, which made it sort of a mini-blogshoot, and therefore we carried through with Bobbi's plan to go to India Palace for a delicious buffet lunch after shooting. After that. feeling like happy ticks all stuffed with mattar paneer and tandoori chicken, we went home.
EDIT: More pics and such here.

Can't beat that for a good day.
Range, good chow, and a nap. Good to go.
You guys have all the fun.
Love the zombie bin laden target!
I am pleased to see you like running training drills with revolvers, it suprises me that some many people avoid learning how to properly run a DA/SA S&W K or J frame. Good for you! I knew there was a reason why you were so cool!
Sounds like the perfect day.
I will be there one of these days.
