Spring has Sprung

Ten days into spring and after a 30+ degree temperature swing from this morning, this hits:

Its forecasted to be in the upper 50s again tomorrow.

Green Laser

I found this little gem online, it was $19.99 and probably pure junk, but I planned to have some fun with it.

It came in very impressive packaging, a foam lined box with a magnetic closure.

It came with two mounts and two tail caps, one is push button the other is a pressure switch. I would have paid $20 for the mounts alone.

I mounted it on my AR-15 and sighting it in was easy, white plate at 100 yards and line up the dot with the scope. The dot was easily visible at 100 yards in daylight and once I had it sighted in it was fairly easy to hit a 4" plate from a hip shot, once you spent 20 seconds trying to figure out where the dot was and move it slow enough you didn't lose it again.

Unfortunately it didn't care much for the recoil of the gun and after 5-6 shots it moved. I had guessed as much so I plan to move it to my 10/22 and see if it will hold up on it. If it dosen't like that it will become a desk toy until I can think of something else to do with it.

It does make me want to buy a real one.
