Probably needed to justify the time spend tracking down the noise.

We "camped" last Friday night in the yard in a tent on the ground. The kids and I did anyway, my wife was the smart one, though I think she slipped our 4 year old a caffeine pill before we went out. Saturday we moved a bunch of dirt for the raised beds in the garden and put the new Skinner peep sights on Em's 30-30. We sighted it in on Sunday and then putzed around with the .22s afterwards. She needed 7 rounds to hit a pop can at 22 yards with the revolver and hit it twice by the time she got through all nine rounds. I thought she did OK for a 12 year old. Softball game for her last night, I get to coach.

We had a bachelor party a couple years ago and we put the Texas Star out at 25 yards for something to shoot at while the trap lanes were in use. One of the guys was a police officer and the first 10 magazines he went through firing at the 10" plates on the star he got exactly 0 hits. This on a .40 Glock so that is what, 130 rounds? One of the other guys said if he was running away he would feel safer standing still if the PO was shooting at him. He told us a story of a guy they handcuffed and placed in the back of the cruiser and the guy still lit himself on fire in the back seat.
