Elbow Room
Post

February 9, 2013

I just increased the hard drive in my Dell E6410 notebook running Windows 7 from the previous 150 Gb to a full Terabyte. Total expense is right at $100. Boy, do I have “free space”!

So I spent a couple of hours doing solo practice at the range. Because I wanted most of my attention on trigger control, I created a sustained fire practice exercise. (Click on the picture for a bigger image.)

Additional Comments

The Laser Target works best in a dimly-lit area.

Sunny is a good protector for the drying brass but Norman, not seen here, is smaller, feisty, and the dominant of the pair. He marks anything of uncertain ownership. Accordingly, this brass went up on the table and out of his “range” immediately after this picture was taken.

Decaf coffee and Coaches Oats (oatmeal) for breakfast. (Oops! Almost burned the oatmeal. Blogging and cooking don’t mix.) Then shower, load box (22, wad, ball plus ammo for each), wear light jacket for the morning, shirt sleeves in afternoon (70F). Slight chance of rain mid-morning.

After reading what the author had to say, I must confess the simplicity of his presentation makes for a very strong argument.

Yesterday was my third attempt.
