Change…

It’s been a weird 24 hours.  I thought things were progressing and I’d be all set to kick my training after June 22nd into FULL gear.  Nope. That and seeing just an absurd video on Facebook about “if” Trump would be President, she’d be a sharecropper.  Are you kidding me – are you that stupid?…

Without a goal, you can’t score!

Things are starting to fall into place, slowly but surely. My Kimber Custom Target II is here in SoCal from New York, and now the clock starts on my 10 day waiting period, though I’ll be picking it up on June 22nd, as I’ll be out of town.  Edit: I forgot to renew my drivers…

IDPA – May 2016 – Results

As I expected – I came in dead last. I’m taking it all in stride though, as I was so much a fish out of water.  I really had no idea what I was doing.  So hopefully at the June 25th match, perhaps I’ll do better.  Most likely not, but it will come along.  I…

My first IDPA Match

WOW!  So much to take in! Today was a baptism by fire, but I did OK.  Mind you, my score sucked, but it should of.  Jim, thought I had been shooting for a few years; not a few months.  I think if he knew he would have said you need more time.  I pushed myself…

Baptism by fire – really!

Met with Jim today to ask all sorts of questions. He is very excited to be a mentor, and to guide me through the IDPA ropes.  So much so that he thinks I can shoot a match next Saturday.  Gulp! So here I go – I’m sure it won’t be pretty, but it won’t be…

Practice 5.10.16

I had some time after going to the Passport Office, and so I got a chance to go to the range. Jim, the friend I told you about will most likely be my tutor for IDPA, and he’ll be bringing about 5 or so pistols to use when I see him.  He’s a .45 guy…

Practice 5.8.16

I tried to get out to practice yesterday, but the day got away from me, so got to the range today – thanks to Cassie for letting me get out for a bit.  I tried two guns today, and both were hammer types!  Trying to see that there are some pistols that are other than just…

4.30.16 Update

Started the day off by going to the Gun Show – interesting, but most likely would not go again,unless making an AR-15, then wow they have a ton of parts.  Maybe if I pick up 3-Gun alongtheu way sometime in the distant future. Then went on to the range to finally get in some practice.  It’s…

This and that…

Post-Op 24 days and I ran 3 miles out of the 6.2 miles I did today.  Last time I really ran was about 25 ago, and even then, 2016 has very little miles. Since going on the path of getting my knee fixed, I will have spent over $3K.  I still owe the anesthesiologist (still…

Practice 4.10.16

Cassie was feeling under the weather, so I was going to go to the range by myself to get in some practice.  On the way I called my sister to see if she wanted to meet for lunch, but she also asked to come to the range with me.  Sweet! After last practice, I started…
