Range Day, 27 Nov 21

[98Z5V]

So, today was a Range Day, but it turned into a conundrum, late into the week.  4th Saturday of the month is usually the Accurized AR Match, here.  Well, after the October match, there was nothing scheduled for today (4th Saturday of Nov), and there's obviously nothing schedule for the 4th Saturday of December, because that's Christmas Day. 

So, after the Fall Shoot a few weeks ago, we already planned to make today a "pistol day" and focus on pistol shiit.  And we did.

However, I got a call from DirtBike Tommy late in the week, who just got a call from @JBMatt, that the Accurized AR Match was ON for today...  "So, whaddaya think?  We'll be shooting pistol, but the Match is on..."  My answer was, "Hold on, lemme call @Moon Bootsand see what she thinks..." 

Phone calls made, and it was unanimous...  We planned on NO MATCH because they didn't schedule it on the calendar, and we planned on pistol-heavy for this weekend, so fuk 'em.  We'll go out to the SDTF and shoot pistol. 

So, today was SDTF for pistol-work.  Oh, by the way, Kim was all hot and heavy about coming out, after showing up the last day of the Fall Shoot, when we were tearing down and recovering sensitive items back to Casa De Pain prior to the festive dinner that we always partake in after showers/gear recovery...  So, Kim was there today.  Thought it would be weird, but it really wasn't.  That's a blessing. 

Now, this was a PISTOL DAY, but there's something about @Moon Boots and long guns - she just CANNOT go out there and NOT shoot some long guns...   And she did...  in SPECTACULAR FASHION, I might add...  She crushed the 450 and 609 tank on her 5.56 gun, then went after it on the 6 ARC and .260 Rem - and she NEEDS a .260 Rem gun now...  , aaaaand she did some pistol work...  But she fell IN LOVE with DirtBike Tommy's CZ Scorpion.  She's doomed.  She'll own one soon, I suspect.      Suppressed, too...  She's fucked...  

Now, here's the ironic part...   The only pics I have from today were taken by Kim, and she sent them to me afterwards.  You can see the pistol spread that we have worked up here, but these shots are me and @Moon Boots going after the 450 simultaneously, and just SMASHING IT...

I'll fix that, brother  - tried to paste them direct from email, and that's gonna be the problem.  I'll download and attach them, directly into the post.  Gimme a minute...

At least it wasn’t weird….wait, do we have the same weird?  Your weird scale might be way different than others here.

Are you kidding me?!  How long have you known me, brother?...  like 2004.  As you fully well know well, already, I'm on a different level for weird. 

I can't disclose it fully, but my ex-wife who is now my ex-girlfriend shows up to a shoot (and does NOT lose her shiit and go BANANAS) and sends me pics of me shooting with another girl...   That already tripped it for me, right there...  THAT was "entering Bizzaro World" for me.  When the email and the pics came in.  "Shocked" is an understatement...

I’m not sure how to feel about that one. Slightly scared for you, or happy she can be an adult.

I'm terrified - she has to have a plan.  It was just "too normal" out there, and that's completely not right.

Maybe not. She had plenty of normal days in between the batshit crazy ones I’m sure.

That's supposed to be COMPLETELY my fault, right?...

So true, that Scorpion was a blast!

Sounds like she's setting up a future alibi

Those Czechs make some nice guns, if you get a chance try the original CZ Skorpion

That thing was .32 ACP, and sucked, brother.  It ran, but it was a garbage heap.  I remember confiscating a gold plated one from none other than a General Manual Antonio Noreiga, in 1989.  I have pics of that fancy bitch somewhere here.

Well it does make you appreciate how far the Scorpion has come( early 70s Honda Civic vs new Civics) while not my first choice its a fun plinking gun and a unique bit of history.

I tried quoting you originally and I deleted more than intended in the quote, I couldn’t figure out how to do it over so I just edited the whole thing.
