The shifting link broke on my snowblower so I only have one gear.
I'd fix it if it wasn't so cold but for now .... I make my kids shovel.

Horses got out.

Good thing they are trained to come to a bucket of grain.

Not any more. I was years ago but was not really happy with how the pistol shooters always seems the be a after thought.

I shoot at Garretson's sportsman's club now. I was going to help open the indoor range there today but just got a call that we are not opening due the cold.

I was surprised to see the sheriff out in Harrisburg issuing tickets for cars parked on the street.

And this is why I love my heated and insolated garage. Was just out adjusting the drive engagement on my snow blower with the heater set at 55.

Ya, they cater to bench rest shooters to the exclusion of all others. We live close enough we can hear if anyone else is there.

Not looking good for me making it out of the house today.

It was so cold even the inside range at Garretson was closed.
Too bad I didn't read their website BEFORE I got there.

Ya I was surprised then they called and told me we were not going to open the range due to cold but not my call and I don't have a key so I could not offer to just do it by me self.

Merry Christmas a little less so as I just broke my last decaping pin no more reloading for me today.

Merry Christmas guys! Hope everyone got what they wished for! I got a new ice auger I'm dying to try out, rain doesn't help me much though.

I used to break a few and then I got a Lee Undersized Die and instead of breaking the pin, it just gets shoved up and then it can be tapped back down.
I have had a lot less trouble with glock bulge also. Might be worth a try. Extra decapping pins are cheap but it pissed me off when I'd break one.

Posted: 12/26/2016 12:27:17 AM EDT

I am a little worried about that rain freezing on the trees and the wind snapping branches.
Some of my trees never recovered from the ice storm a couple years ago.
A lot of the branches are still growing downward.

Yep this will be the last sizer die to get changed over to a lee. Ordered it off amazon today

It's like fishing without the fun.

Some nice changes to spearing regulations this year. Nice we have a good pool to practice at now.

Never really spear fished but always thought it would be fun! Took my new shack out Sunday and it was so damn windy you had to stay in it or it would blow away! Fishing was slow, but still a good time

Talking about diving type spearfishing.

I do have a heavy metal spear for ice spearing if you want to give it a go. I won't go on the ice. Dump a bucket of light colored rock down your hole and wait.

I worked with a guy who used to dive a lot and spear fish. I think I've got a spear taking up space in my garage somewhere, might have to give it a try some weekend.

Good luck with that. I had to drive to Yankton and back for work took 5.5 hours.

Driving Sioux Falls to Brookings gets old really fast. I did that for my last job...Now I do Harrisburg to Beresford.

Beresford got about 15" of snow, Harrisburg 8".

Hooray the weekend.
I plan to get some reloading done and go try out the MBT trigger I got this week.
You guys ?....

Dial in a sight I put on my recurve bow, swim at the aquatic center, anatomy exam, mount and sight in the scope I put on my .223, spend time with my inky horse lady. ??

That's today. Lift and cross country ski tomorrow.

40,000 rounds a year. Damn, I thought I shot a lot.

That would be 2 k of 40sw for a total of 10k for the year. then on to 223. I hate loading rife rounds.

Might go buy a Glock 19 Gen 4 with my .gov loan...$539.00 at most shops I've seen, anyone seen lower locally?

not a bad day layed out 3 stages for the matches this summer and loaded 1000 rounds of 40.

Posted: 1/29/2017 8:57:02 AM EDT

[#45]

10 thousand pistol rounds a year. That sounds reasonable.
I still load rifle rounds on a single stage.

I always check the Exchange in Brookings for lowest prices.

Bow is shooting straight. Off to ski.

That was my first place I checked, $539.00. But I've normally been able to get them to throw a box of ammo in or something in the past there.

ETA: Just saw they have a 3% discount for cash deals, might have to make the drive up there soon.

Damn bow still not dialed in. Putting a sight and peep on a recurve is harder than I thought.

Rifle on the other hand took 20 minutes to mount, a ten minutes drive, and six rounds to zero.

I took a picture and tried to post, but it said file size is too large. Now I can't find a way to reduce it on my phone. Ideas?

January is behind us.
It seemed like an awfully long month this year.

Ha! Be spearing fish before we know it.

Attached File

Gave up on recurve and bought a compound. That thing will zero quick.
