Gun Show Report

This weeks gun show was again, modestly attended. Prices are coming down, but the sellers still have inventory for which they overpaid to get rid of. Consensus at our table was that we have gotten past the time of "Oh my god, Obama's going to take our guns, better buy now!" and moved on to the "Oh my god, Obama's going to take our money, better not spend any!"

On a lighter note, Julys postal match from Sailor Curt is now over. Results will be posted eventually. This too seems to have been under-attended, possibly because everyone is hoarding ammo. Anyway, for those of you who play golf, here's the target:
Nice course. The drill is to hit each red "hole" one time. Theoretical best score would be 5. Take as many shots as you need from 21 ft. Note that hits in the "sand" count +1 for 2 strokes each. Hits in the water count +2 for 3 strokes each. Anything else counts 1.

I'm sure you golfers have had days like this: Hole #1 (top left) 2 shots. Hole #2 (top right) 1 shot. Hole #3 (bottom center), 1 shot. Hole #4 (right center) 4 shots, which wouldn't have been so bad if 2 of them hadn't been in the sand, and the 3rd on in the water for a score of 8.

Hole #5 (left center). About here I seem to have come down with a severe case of the DTs or something. I hit the thing only on the 11th shot. Damn good thing there was no sand or water close by.

Resisting the temptation to wave the gun in the air and scream "Rat Shit!", I put up another target and tried again. Did better. How much better we'll see.

Update: Thanks to Sailor Curt generously giving me a 1-stroke handicap, I have a tie for second place. Curtis Lowe has the August match ready. Get your guns, and get shooting.
