Shooting in general

It seems that I have my good and bad days when shooting.  This year at the state shoot in Enderlin, I had what I thought was a pretty good shoot, everything was going fine until I got to stage 10 and had a rifle malfunction, cost me 4 misses.  Overall it was a good shoot but when I compared my 2010 time and place to 2011 I was surprised!  In 2010 I finished 33 with a total time of 309.96 for 10 stages, (only three misses), in 2011 I finished 32 with a total time of 309.45 for 10 stages, ( 6 misses total).  So shot faster but had more misses, average time per stage, (2010, 29.49), (2011, 27.94) I guess need to work on shooting quicker but taking that extra half second to make sure to hit target, 5 seconds per miss adds up quickly.  Regardless I am having fun.

Heading to Squinty Eye!

Loading up the camper and heading to Virginia MN for the Squinty Eye Western Shoot.  This will be my 3rd year at Squinty lot of fun, very challenging stages.  Best part of these multi day shoots is camping with friends.  Yellowstone Vic, Dakota Wildcat, Johnnie Otter, Doc Neilson, Wild River Rose, Little Gunder and Doc Hell to name a few.
