There is just something flat down good for you about plinking.
We're out at the ranch this weekend, since Rich got Friday off and of course is off Monday. We got back from town a little after lunchtime, and he went off to the south a bit to set up hay bales for archery practice. I sat under a Lord-only-knows-how-old pin oak that is known in our family as the "party tree" (think Hobbiton) in the shade and took potshots with my Ruger .22 at a "prairie dog" target situated on the berm across the way. The berm is formed from the dirt dug out when the pond was made, and is quite high and thick and makes a nice backstop. While the tall weeds and grass kept the "prairie dog" from always spinning very well (yeah. that was it. that's my story and I'm stickin' to it....)
Wind was light out of the south, temperature was the upper 80's to about 90, I'm sitting in the shade with a Fresca and 120 rounds of CCI mini-mags, on a four-day weekend.
Who needs zen and meditation when you have a .22 and a prairie dog to shoot?
