Saturday Shooting ! Yes, too. Eyes n ears laid out. Targets, backers, staple gun n such ready. Not sure yet where I'll have to begin, assume nothing. Sometimes, it's better to start with a blank slate, ya know ?

Yesterday's shooting went good. The new shooter wants to come back. She listened well to all instructions. The Bersa .22 her Dad brought for her had issues. It had been dropped and one ear from the rear sight blade and it's white dot were gone. Ammo issues, tried everything we had and realized heaviest loads were slightly better, figured gun needed to be "wetter". Some synthetic oil and a minute of violent racking of slide made a good bit of difference. Then my friend who had come home from Viet Nam with 2 Purple Hearts and lots of shrapnel scars, pulled an old SKS outta a beach towel. It had been stored in various basements over his lifetime and never fired since coming home. ROUGH ! Checked the bore and swiped it, worked the bolt a few times. It looked like crap but seemed functional. He says..man, wish I had some ammo for it, what do these things shoot ? I laughed and fetched him a box of ammo here for an AK. The darn thing ran fine. He said the plastic things they were issued would not have functioned if treated similarly. Nope nope nope.

Hope the weather behaves there. Have family in Gibsonton and was just there a month ago or so. Nephew works in St Pete. Ybor City after the game ?

Had a good morning shooting 3D Archery with my 9 yo grandson. Got awful hot and humid though. He wanted to stop a 25 targets, I didn't argue.

With cooler weather and cooler rains, Lake Erie Steelhead should start moving shoreward towards the river mouths. For the other Great Lakes, fall run Steelhead and Salmon should be feeling the urge too. I've not chased them much the last 3 years or so. Will need fresh leader material at least.

got my last Steelhead from Walmart, 2 weeks ago... not bragging... complaining... I'd rather be fishing it was product of Chili... could be worse I guess...
