Title: Shooting today?
Post by: Oldgringo on January 04, 2015, 11:12:28 AM
Oh WOW, sun's out, for a change, and it's already 40°F climbing to a forecast high of 41.  If I do any shooting today it will be from the saw table through the shop door.  The holidays are over, enough with the winter, eh?

OOPSIE, I forgot to mention a Lake Wind Advisory accompanies that sweltering 41°.

I'm in Kansas. Way too cold for this old geezer. And the forecast for the next ten days only gets worse.

High of 39, overcast and possible snow today. I hope to do some backyard shooting today. I plan on spending a little workshop time building a set of shooting sticks.

Yeah, it was crummy outside all day yesterday.  The sun just came out here too.  High 50's today.  A squirrel showed up around 6:45am so I've already pulled the trigger once today. ;)

I had to come in to the plant today to fire all the presses up and run a bit of production to prepare for tomorrow's full production after our 12 shutdown. I ran home for lunch and popped a few off of the back porch with one of the old 140's. On the way back to work, the sun started making an appearance. I should get out of here around 2:30 or so. I'm sure a bit of trigger time in on my afternoon schedule. I might even empty a few cans to use as targets  :o

Raining here in Northwest Florida and 66*. I managed to get some time in with the marauder before the breech seal blew and the rain started. Not my day I guess. Yep, vacation is over, I go back to the real working world in the morning. Ya'll stay safe, warm, and dry.

We had about 50 with rain on and off.....but very little wind......for a change!
Got off couple hundred rounds with the Pro Sport. Nailed a squirrel at ~ 40 yards and a hosp high in a tree at the same distance.
Can't beat trigger time!!
Wanted to get it in cause this week temps are dropping and wind is gonna be miserable!!

    50's and a little wind here too. Cracked open the sliding glass basement door and shot some paper at 30 yards. Then decided to take the 125 and the 2240 up to the farm and take a crack at some starlings and hosps. No luck today must of had too much coffee!
