Thoughts on the Day

Good Day – Going to your favorite range to shoot a pistol match with good friends.
Great Day – The range is having their Christmas open house, so you get a cup of good hot coffee to ward off the cold and wet while you shoot.
Awesome Day – You get a call from the front desk of the range while you’re getting your safety briefing telling you that you won a gun from the drawing you entered when you got your cup of coffee.
The best thing I can say about the weather today was that it wasn’t raining frogs. Then again, shooting in nasty weather is probably good training.
Like I said, the best I can say about my performance today was that I didn’t get DQ’ed. I did better than I thought I would, though. It’s been a long time since I shot anything other than paper; I definitely need more practice at shooting on the move after drawing from the holster.
The new gun is a Chipmunk .22 pistol. Basically, it’s a single shot, bolt-action .22 LR target pistol. Honestly, it’s not something that I’ve ever considered owning, but hey, free gun!
For once my mil-geek self did something right. When Irish Woman was looking for something to use to hang the ornaments on the tree, I remembered that I had a roll of old tripwire downstairs.
- Rather than be scandalized by this, Irish Woman seemed quite happy to use strong, thin, almost invisible wire to decorate the tree.
- Now to boobytrap the lower branches against the cat.
