Well, home schooling is much more interesting than I thought it would be.
After threatening “No shooting with Dadi.” I was called out...
“Then you don’t get to go either!
”.
Anybody else have a ten year old girl?
So after a call up to Grandma, don’t you tell me what’s happening girl, I went to the cabin to fire the twenty rounds I made.
Nearly all were perfect with the Valkyrie seater. 1.9165” CBTO. Two were not. Those went first.
With the first shot blowing the plaster off the recycled target. I found it and put it right where it glanced the red one. I then went to the lower right for the remaining four.
Completely unimpressed, I shot the lower sticky dot, putting the remainder of the twenty there, with no fear of whittling away the plaster...
All four charges were lack luster. None were wonderful, nothing to find here. I kinda felt it with the first five.
Deflated, I went home. These are terrible compared to the 75grn BTHPs.
It was a gorgeous day, and I needed it. I wish the ornery little bears would have come, but “no work, no play”. That’s the way it is.
They’ve been much more well behaved since I’ve returned.
Perhaps they learned not to cross Grandma?
I KNOW I DID!
When j pulled up to park I saw a bird just sitting there, groggy looking. I tried to get a picture but it doesn’t look like what it was.
When I looked it up I found a perfect picture of a Snipe. That was what it was.
Even though I figured out soon into the hunt while out camping, there weren’t any snipes, especially at night, here it was in plain day!
It walked away from the truck, and dipped a little showing white tail feathers. For the coloring, “grouse” covers it perfectly, but the long bill?
The picture looks like yard.
But it’s there.
It was a beautiful morning. So I’m glad I took it.
Taking a break to be exasperated...
Pock marks from my Desert Eagle. A few, apparently random
, strikes from the other boys AR, even after being told not to. And a couple concentric circles from some jacketed .44Mag.
We know it isn’t rifle rated, but now we know it isn’t magnum handgun rated either...
It was a nice day for Bocce Ball when I got back. Maybe tomorrow, if they’re good...
