No I didn’t… I just could not bring myself to tease the poor chap further!

Sirhr

Tease all y’all want… it was a great show!

OT: Made the first 900-mile leg of my road trip to have some fabrication work done on my truck with minimmal drama. Once that’s finished, I’ll head up the coast to the Pac NW for some Anniversary/vacation time, then back to Texas in a couple weeks.

My knee knew it was raining before I even cleared the pass going into AZ! 😆

It was a pretty fair sized derecho…I was hauling ass to stay ahead of it as it chased me to the next pass.
 
I guess a bad day at the range still trumps a good day at work.

Well sort a, when the wheels come off in a match, its kinda hard to take.

I was fighting my “match” rifle on Thursday, when it went from dead on at 775 to could not hit a piece of 4x8 plywood at 300 yards. (Actually it was a 33% silhouette) Went though 8 rounds bracketing the 300 yard target with no luck. So, with a spat of four letter words, I went down range, got a 66% silhouette and set it up at 300. First shot hit the very right edge. Finally got it sort of squared away…..

Went to get my practice rifle off the rack to do some practicing and sure enough, there sat the UNUSED “match” rifle. Shooting the preferred rounds of the match rifle in the practice rifle, does not work very well. And, the match rifle went on to do some of the best shooting I have done this month, right off the bat. Talk about felling STUPID. (Both were the same caliber but for some reason, the practice rifle just won’t shoot the hybrids).

I gotta go too far to shoot any matches. Just recreational shooting here. Today is good practice for those drizzly rainy days in the deer blind.

Drizzling rain, 2-5 mph wind from the left about 10 o'clock.

Not much worse than sitting in a deer blind in the rain. But, tracking one in the rain is worse. And, so is cleaning one in the rain.

Wild Bill Hickok would approve of that level of shooting there. Not exactly a quick draw but he was on cue with the escalating threat level, prepared for it and reacted appropriately. Note when the would-be victim drew his gun he turned the other side of his body towards the approaching threat so the tango would not see what he was doing on his carry/draw side, giving him the advantage of being 1-2 seconds ahead of the game.
