Bullseye

The Pelham Fish and Game Club in New Hampshire is right up there with the biggest and busiest shooting clubs I’ve visited.

A Familiar Face

Such was the case today at the Pelham (NH) Fish and Game where I ran into Cara. She’s been to matches in Phoenix where I first got to know her and today – what a great smile – it was a completely unexpected pleasure to meet up again, this time on her home turf.

The weather is sunny with the high forecast to be in the upper 70s. After shooting in Phoenix last weekend in 100+ degrees, I hope I can withstand the chill.

I shoot the occasional L Match because it’s an ego booster. You get higher scores and I like that!

Gun Log Book

Do you ever ask questions like these?

  • When did I last replace the recoil spring in the wad gun and does it run best with 11 or 12 pounds for my current load?
  • How long have I had this S&W Model 41 and what did I pay for it new? And when did I get the shorter barrel that I now prefer?
  • How long has it been since I gave the ball gun a complete tear down and cleaning?
  • My backup 22 (a Ruger Mk III,Volquartsen trigger) looks clean but have I fouled the barrel yet?

In the past, I’ve jotted notes in my shooting log that would let me figure these things out. But since it’s one book for many guns, finding some detail about a specific firearm means a lot of page flipping. And, if the detail doesn’t jump out, does that mean I missed it or did I just forget to put it in there in the first place?

Being the best in your country is not enough.

Ok, Ok, I know. You’re sick of hearing about yet another miracle gun cleaning, lubing and rust preventing product.

Nick Mowrer has won the (nomination for the) final US Olympic Team position in Free Pistol, according to the USA-Shooting Facebook page. The nomination is made based on the athlete’s performance over several competitions.
