Ferris
Well let me tell a story
bout a guy named Og
had a stupid orange cat
and a furniture eating dog
he was up one day
just a reading of his blog
and he saw him a pic
of an overgrowed hog.
Wait, that didn’t go anywhere I wanted it to go.
I had spent friday evening as the guest of the DuToits, so Saturday Morning I got up and helped pack, loaded as much stuff into the Exploder as it would hold, and headed off for Ferris Texas.
Once there, I realized that I was going to get muddy. Perhaps very muddy. So standing on the shingletab in the parking lot, I changed into my “truck clothes” a change of clothes i keep in the truck specific to the purpose of getting filthy.
And filthy I got.
Who cares? I was shooting, and I was loving it. I went through several courses of fire, and while my shooting may not have been the best, I at least made it all the way through. And I think I didn’t do so badly. One thing I was happy to see, was that (other than having to snug up a rear sight) the 45 shot perfectly the whole day.
I enjoyed it well enough that I found a local place that does IDPA shoots. I will be checking it out next month.
Anyway, there was good food, good company, good shooting, and all in all, more fun than I should ever have had. I think I sprained my fun glands. I’m hoping next time I remember to stretch first.

Did I forget to mention that the Ferris PD is corrupt and the shitty little town is nothing more than an undernourished speedtrap?
I am the match dir. of the IDPA shoot that we have on the 4th sat of every month (may thru sept or Oct) at Howells shooting club in Yorkville IL. web site: howellshootingclub.com
and : hscidpa.com
Look us up and give us a try.

Um … define “fun glands.”
No.
