The Czickness XLV anxious for the SGE

...You have to load the mags though.

I have a thing for that...lol

I didn’t think about renting something! Checked one place and $350 a day to rent a mini excavator. Yup. Idc if it takes me 4 days, still cheaper and more fun!

 

[gmcttr]

You have well above average mechanical skills. Rent a mini and start digging.

Be sure to "Call Before You Dig" and pay attention. You don't want the likes of Lee11b showing up for that.

So went to the indoor range today for a quick ammo test with the Springer RO. Thought I would try bench rest target shooting at 25 yards. Do to the height of the bench could not get the right angle through my progressive lenses And actually shot better offhand. But what I really found out is that I can’t hit jack beyond 15 yards so I better wait until I can see the whites and blacks of their eyes.

Target 3 was offhand, 4 shots from 10 yards, 4 from 25 yards. All the rest were bench rest at 25 yds.

Guess I won’t be taking any prizes home at the SGE.

But was it fun to shoot? That's the important question...

I usually shoot around 7 - 10 yards myself. More self defense shootings are that range (or less) statistically speaking than any other, though good to occasionally shoot farther out for those outlier cases

Alright, I’ve got tomorrow off. I’ll see you in the morning!

Want me to bring the pickaxe?

Heck yes!

And I usually keep it less than 15 yds, but trying to expand my skills. I also ran a few mags of 124 gr gold dot jhp through the p365 at 10 yards, ran a failure to stop drill and did pretty well.

Fun story… it’s already backing up. Looks like the digging is gonna happen this weekend! Yay! At least it’s gonna be warm…

No, I don't think you will. I have to work tomorrow. Dooty calls.

50 at the FGE was humbling (except for Wingrider - I think he is still hitting steel...).

It is going to be a unique target at the FGE - will allow some second chance hits.

Can I try with two different pistols? Both are CM Approved.

Just that whole call before you dig….

I think its 811.. They come out mark all your utilities. Don't dig where the paint is. Not too bad really.

Has an email gone out about the SGE yet?

Better get a sacrificial shop vac ASAP.

So CKW wanted to try on some new shoes to better match her outfit. We saw these grips and the blue looked brighter in the pic. So here we are. What say you all.

I have the same grips on my CZ 75. They are darker than they looked in the pictures.

You might consider the Lok Thin Grips, they offer a straight up Blue. I don't know if the Shadow uses CZ 75, or the Shadow 2 grips. https://lokgrips.com/gun-grips/cz/c...eckered/cz-shadow-2-thin-full-checkered-blue/

No...I'm behind...had to watch 1883.

Same routine as last time just only Saturday. I'll get an update out soon.

Number of entries is only limited by the amount of $5 bills you bring.

Trust me....this is real casual....we ain't running a USPSA sanction event.
