Let's see some targets 2 - range pics

Starting this up since the other thread is locked and I didn't see another one for this topic.

Long backstory of these pics from last week and today.

From new, this crescent wrench never really worked.  Always needed two hands to open or close it, most of the time needing to tap on the head to wiggle it into position.  Then when you use them and remove them to reposition, the jaws close up just enough on their own to not go back on without readjusting them.

I have nicer ones that I use for work, so i never bothered with taking them back.  Many moons later, i had to try and use them last week and got frustrated with them.  My solution to deal with the hate I had for this wrench was to put some .308 ammo THROUGH them from 100yds.

Well, last week didn't go as planned.  I ended up only getting three hits on it before it fell and i had to wait for the range to go cold to set it back up.  I got there late so I didn't have time to wait so just shot other targets.

I could see I hit it, but I hit it on the edge where it's real thick and i hit it once on the head near the adjustment wheel.  The handle got bent a little bit as well.  But damnnit, they still kind of worked. (First three pics)

Today went much better.  I still only got a handful of shots off and only hit it three times before it fell.  One of the shots hit the edge and the other two made me some nice holes.  The handle is bent much more.

The one really messed up thing is, now the wrench works GREAT!  I can easily fully open and close it with one thumb.  Better than new, i just need to take the sharp end off the hole near the adjustment wheel.
