I won the smallbore rifle match (open sights)

The scoped rifle guys only beat me by 19 points.

Just got the mail, link when the results are posted to the website. It’ll be the “smallbore match” at the top of the page (7/5) (no, it’s not there yet, but will be before the day is out)

Pity there aren’t prizes. LOL!

Actually, the prize is being able to shoot with those guys, they rock.

The best part is, I’ve finally started to be able to shoot the Remington 241. It’s starting to feel comfortable to me, and I am keeping them in the black at 50 yards offhand with no difficulty. In fact, I amazed myself.

Casaba, musk, honeydew…

but most of all seedless watermelon. Wife picked one up tother day and I’m enjoying it, and boy, do ti make the movements nice and smooth. Like a grease gun for a turdcutter, these days.

And it puts me to mind of my uncle Calvin, once again.

Had ten green thumbs, that man did. I often offered to give him a $20 and let him plant it for me, grow a money tree.

Anyway, calvin had hybridized his own melon seeds. grew watermelon that would blow your mind. Chaesed, but didn’t quite get, the Guinness record for melons. He grew at least one over 240 lbs, and falling short of the worlds record, we’d eat it. And these were not crappy melons, but sweet to the core, and red to the rind. We would use a big stainless machete he had to cut them, and a single watermelon fed the whole family reunion each year. And everyone had loose, smooth stools for several days afterwards.

Go. Now. And keep your hands on your hips.
