a good day
A good day was enjoyed by all yesterday at the local range. Ol' Dave, Highwall55 (Bill) and myself show'd up for an afternoon of BP shooting. There were 38-55s, 44-77s, 40-65s, and 45-90s making smoke!
I was pretty confident of the 500 yd. sight-setting, so I started with that. Well, after 10-15 shots at that distance, and nary a hit on the paper, I retreated back to the 200 yd. distance, much to the humor of the spectators.
Dave had a scope on his 40-65 Browning, but had returned to
the open sights after he has eye surgery last fall; he shot well Friday.
Bill shot at the same target all afternoon. He had tiny bullet-hole groups mixed in with the big-bullet hole groups. When I listened to him, all the groups were plain to understand. Bills' a power that others will have to deal with some day.

We had a great day,

Old Jim
That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!
