Activity for a Not Quite Rainy Saturday Afternoon

[wolf]

I've been wanting to get out for a day of outdoor recreation for some time now .. other activities and stupid things like work keep getting in the way of having fun, but depite dire warning of additional bad weather, I and some friends braved the lack of storm, withstood some light drizzle, and had a grand time of it.

What did I do?

What do you think??



There were actually more armaments involved than are displayed on the table ... lessee ... there was also a .22 Hornet rifle, a .38 Special snub nose revolver, of course, my ever present Glock.

Mostly I was interested in trying out something new ... a Beretta Neos Inox Deluxe ("Neos" is Greek for "New", "Inox" means "Stainless Steel", and "Deluxe" means "Costs More." Actually there are features in the Deluxe Neos that don't come on the cheaper ones. I do not regret the extra $50).







It shoots like a dream.



For my next trick ...

I did try to do something cool, and once I work the kinks out of the process, this will be attempted again.

A quarter was taped to the target.

The quarter was hit.

Instead of nicely remaining upon the target where it had been taped, the force of the impact sent the quarter right through the backing board.

There are quite a few quarters in the backstop hill behind the targets.

I ran out of quarters.

In future, I will either start shooting dollar bills or will come up with some way of preventing the quarter from disappearing into the sandpile.
