Gun Fun and Lessons Learned

Yesterday was the clubs Blow Up The World BBQ and day at the range. Generally a fun time.

1. Don't bring more stuff that you actually need. Yes it was 104 degrees, and yes the shelter was a good idea, but...

 2. Pack as much of the big bulky stuff as you can the night before. This is easier when you don't have to work late Friday after working late most of the week.

3. Don't try to squeeze too much into what should be mostly a social event. Bringing a postal match along detracts from the socialization. Bringing a difficult postal match and a novice takes a big hit.

4. Co-ordinate with your shooting buddies. We had enough water between us to douse a forest fire. Unfortunately all the fires are over 100 miles away.

I don't get it.

What happened?

Mostly an organizational problem. Trying to do too many things at once and not doing any of them as well as we'd wanted.

We did have a good time, the padewan got to shoot an M1 with some interesting history on it, and I got 2 useable targets for the postal match.

I pretty much slept in till noon today to give an idea of how I was feeling at the end of the day yesterday.
