    Friday - Shoot a few hundred rounds of pistol and rifle. Zeroed a rifle. Mainly just left the office early to go plinking. Nothing special

    I packed up to head off and did a double check of ammo. Only had 23 rounds of .260 which is what I was planning to shoot so cancelled.

    Ran the Glock 19 (gen 1 no less, still running like a champ xxxxxxxx rounds later). Did the F.A.S.T. drill and a few others from http://pistol-training.com/drills.

    Fired 50 rounds out of an S&W 649 I had, just slow fire. Still learning how to run a revolver.

    Saturday I went and gathered a WHOLE metric F ton of data on a couple of rifles (long long guns, SBRs, etc.). MV suppressed and un-suppressed, POI shifts suppressed and un-suppressed, 100/300/500 drops. Reset zero's across multiple rifles to be suppressed. Confirmed across multiple shooters that a certain 10.5" BCM upper w/ a 1/7 SS does NOT like 55g XM193. Confirmed that another rifle needs a SSA-E quite badly.
    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    I ran the range at Boy Scout camp last Monday night and all day Tuesday, assisted with instruction on Thurs & Fri. We got 40 of 62 Scouts to pass their qualifications for the merit badge including 2 that you would never have thought would pass, probably have 2 or 3 that would have passed if they'd bothered to come up Thursday night or Friday morning.

    The one I feel best about had groups all over the place Tuesday so that night we were getting his position stable, trying to get him to follow through, etc. Asked him what his sight picture was like and he said he couldn't see the target. It turned out he had a blind spot in his left eye AND his eyesight in the left was 20/50 or so.

    He wanted a scope -- no can do for the merit badge BUT I got the rifle instructor to bring his reading glasses Thursday and had the boy put them on. Groups were still kind of loose but tight enough to score -- surprise, surprise, it's a wonder what you can do when you can actually see the target rather than guess where it's at ...

    Lost my dope book, probably fell out somewhere along the way. Bought something nicer that wasn't a crappy 25cent spiral flip book thing. Guess I get to start over. Maybe this is a good time to reconfig some of the guns anyway.

    Took the Daughter out to Baker Draw this morning and let her shoot her new Ruger SR-22 until the wind got bad and started blowing dust in our eyes. She went through a 225 round can and once she started to get the hang of the trigger pull her groups dropped dramatically. Once her groups closed up from 10" to 3" off hand I zeroed it for her and she closed it up to 2" from a rest at 20'. She still needs to practice trigger pull and I will work with her on some dry fire practice. She wants to go again next weekend and shoot her Ruger again and then get back behind my Bushy. It was a good time, she took instruction well and was good with her range safety discipline.

    Haven't been in months ... I can't really afford to replace any ammo I use and I'm still not convinced that it's safe to shoot up ammo as its availability could go away at any time (and we could end up in a situation where we NEED ammo at any time ... the world's a scary place).


    Thing is I just inherited an 8-1/3" 686 Target that desperately needs to be shot, so I may have to risk some .357mag.
