No time for shooting

Post by Sir Henry » Wed Jun 08, 2022 4:56 pm

I’ve been so busy with projects I haven’t really been shooting very much and when I do I’m terrible. If I shoot everyday I get decent however if I go a couple of weeks my accuracy drops something fierce.

General maintenance isn’t too bad it’s all the extra projects that eats up the time. I finally applied for my Wisconsin drivers license and that ate up half a day and that was just part of it. I had to send for my birth certificate and had to get my application for the birth certificate notarized. At least I didn’t have to take a test.

A well mowed yard is highly overrated. Pow!

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

I pulled 8 ticks off me last time I tried that.

Gene, we've been very busy with some unexpected family issues, so no shooting for us, lately, either.

My grass was almost that high and I haven’t shot much because of all the other things like digging my RV out of the mud that turned to concrete, leveling a load of gravel down by the road, and dozens of other projects.

It seems my summer is going to be spent preparing for winter. I do get to enjoy the beauty of where I live.

All kidding aside, prepping for winter starts in the summer here too. There is a long list of things that need to happen to make winter go smoothly. Miss any 1 of them and in January I'll wish I hadn't.

I need to prepare for plowing the road and have my range setup so I can shoot in the winter. All the time I should be shooting is spent working on the range and berm.

That, spending all summer getting ready for winter is why my dad moved to Florida in 1952. You have a wonderful home and winter does have it's good points but I think that I will stay where the winters are mild.
