Gun Fun: Bowling Pins

Went out today to hunt the wily wild bowling pin. Won 5 tables out of 9, which is better than the last time, so all that physical conditioning I'm doing must be paying off.

Also had no one complain about debris flying sideways from the cylinder gap of my revolver so the forcing cone reamer I bought paid off as well.

Started shooting at 28 degrees and partly cloudy standing on frozen ground. No wind for a change, so not too bad. As the day went on, the temps rose to about 38 deg and the sun began to come out more. Frozen ground turned into mud. Don't worry about shifting your stance, your feet aren't going anywhere.

By 1:30 the clouds had rolled back, and the temperature was rapidly dropping, so we held a shoot-off for the top 2 shooters packed it in. Congrats to Kirk, our newest pin champ.

About 1/3 of the way back home it started snowing, and by the time I got home, it was coming down in earnest. 1-3 tonight they say. Looks like we caught the weather window just about right.
