What fun indoor gun things

Yesterday I spent some time with my Crosman 1377 in my sniper nest in my house sniping a terrorist lurking around my tool shed outside.

Practice my draw, awkward positions, movement and after action drills.

Pet each and every one of my guns to let them know they are loved

Ammo cans.

Not the plastic MTM ones that break when handled roughly or dropped. US Military steel surplus ones.

My Sis-in-Law says I have a lot of s*** (you know what). I have found that ammo cans work great for not only transporting stuff but even better for storing small items. It helps to free up shelf space. It also helps me discover where the gaps are in my ammo and shooting supplies and has me searching for items that I know I have somewhere.

I organized several cans this winter. Just finished one up this weekend. I ran out of ammo cans until the next Gunshow so now I am kicking around ideas for painting some of them to make identifying the contents easier.

On the rare times I have the house to myself, especially a weekend and the weather is lousy:

1. Sorting out my gun cleaning tool box
2. Sortijng out and cleaning my range bag
3. Re-loading
4. Cleaning / checking / admiring my guns
5. Thinking about what other guns I would like to add to my collection
6. Considering what stuff can I sell to finance these new guns
7. Stock polishing
8. Going back to point 1 and starting again

And don’t forget to clear your house room by room... if you have an airsoft pistol cats make good villains ( jk.... sorta

If you shoot USPSA then you can never have enough dry fire, reload and draw practice.

Or bullet traps rated for 22s, low velocity CB caps and the basement.

Freak out the pets, scare the wife and have a grand old time. The neighbors won't hear you, and the cops won't know.

My pellet traps will stop a .22. .

That being said there is no powder burning shooting being done cb cap or otherwise in the house. Mostly because I like being IN THE HOUSE.

Didn't folks shoot in there homes in bygone days? When the fireplace wasn't needed for heating.

(re)Organize the gun stuff room. Somehow it always manages to end up in disarray...

Inventory ammo is always a good idea as well.

It's currently snowing outside. I just ordered another gun from my local LGS out of sheer boredom.

This is what I am trying to avoid!
I like to practice shouldering rifles aiming at my archery target in the back yard. I can open the curtain and aim from the back room in heated comfort, usually wait till the kids are napping so they don't think I'm trying to shoot in the house.

Don't fight it... Just... Embrace the need.

My heart says "YES!", my budget, and my wife, say no...

Yep it is snowing here, again...
Made a pattern for, and now sewing up, a holster for one of my Taurus 85's.
It helps pass the time and I had the leather anyway.
