There is something to be said

for recoil pads.

Fifty rounds through a steel-butted K31 is about like a half hour of involuntary CPR.

I loved the hell out of it, though. Couldn’t convince Partner to shoot with me, though he came and laughed at how much I suck. And he was right to do so, at 100 yards I was lucky to get them all on the paper, offhand.

Used to be I’d sit and hold a rifle for hours to get the muscle memory used to doing it, but I haven’t for a while, because of the pain in my hands and arms. Need to get bakc to doing it.

Probably won’t take my division like I have in years past, but at least I’m pretty sure I didn’t embarrass myself.

race/range day!

Military match this morning, Indy 500 this afternoon. Hopefully the match will be finished quickly so I can get back and see the race.

I got it on the DVR in any event.
