Pi day Pigeon Popping!


It's finally spring! And with the nice weather what better thing to do than head out for some shooting. All and all I shot like shit. Not sure what my issue was, just couldn't maintain a groove. Hell even the ace marksman Jeff had a few misses this time.
We shot a few rounds and had some fun with pistols. Scott made us some steel targets that are working out quite well for that purpose. Once we wrapped up the main event we pulled up the chairs for a little sit down trap shooting. 
It was a fantastic day of shooting and fun was had by all, now here are the results:

First Shoot of the year

Well it didn't take too long since our last gathering to get out again. I must say to that the weather was much more pleasant this time too. It was damn near 40 degrees out! Still plenty of snow on the ground, but that didn't stop us. We got the shovels out and cleared a path for the thrower. Also had some fun pistol shooting. Had an old friend join us as well.

Let's run down some numbers then, we had 4 hand guns 4 shotguns and 2 rifles this outing. Jeff had his new 9mm that was fun, didn't shoot it too much myself. Skippy also had a new 9 himself that we popped the cherry on. As for myself I had my new shotgun to shoot again, and boy was it fun. I didn't share this time. I'll have to make more of an effort of it next time. It performed great though, some of the little hang ups from the last time I had it out were totally gone. That made me very happy indeed. I'll talk more about them once we get around to our UGI gun reviews. 

We did keep score, though not as well as we normally do. Here are the numbers!

Still Cold Out

For those of you that are unaware, we're located in the Chicago area. I mention this so that I can better illustrate the weather condictions. They suck. We did manage to have an almost nice day to do some shooting about a week or so ago. Would have likely just forgone it but, we had a new shotgun to try out! A ruger red label. So we can just add that to the list of guns that we plan on writing up reviews for. Here is a picture of it in the mean time.

Blogger's mobile app seems to have some issues uploading posts with photos. So the pictures will have to wait.
