Yesterday was most excellent! Except for waking up at 5am for a bunk rummage sale fluffielady attended.
1st: some shooting..
200 Yard Slow Offhand: 187-7x
200 Yard Rapid Sitting: 94-1x
300 Yard Rapid Prone: 99-1x (Thats Pro!)
600 Yard Slow Prone: 95-3
Total: 475-7x
Song in the brain: Naruto's Sorrow and Sadness
Weather was pretty sunny and warm, with very light clouds and a slight wind. The two goobers that started me on this High Power Rifle and then bailed finally emerged back from whatever bar they were drinking from and is somehow possessed with the sport again. I, on the other hand am feeling a waning, hitting plateaus kinda drags things down. But then it's pretty good to maintain even though i haven't even picked up the rifle in 2 months (June 06: 475-14x). Bad thing about saturdays is everybodys there, which meant we were stuck on the 3rd relay, ick!
-Offhand was more than exceptional except for 2 or 3 overholds. I need to just let them go instead of waiting and waiting.
-My Rapid Sitting, as usual, went to crap. This should be my new focus. It was a decent group, but there were a bunch of 1 o'clock 9's that did me in.
-Rapid prone is good but the group was a up/down slash on the target with a fricking 12 o'clock 9!
-Slow prone hosed me, my front sight was giving me a ghosting line which somehow 'squeezed' the target. It looked like a circle, but it was being covered by the post. Oi!
Both of my other shooting buddies are doing good. Sugui made it without any misses, which was his goal. And Ed finally came back and outshot me by 1 bullseye. He's been on this 3-times a month deal.
Ate lunch with the guys at a Brazilian place in Point Richmond, good food, good times. Got home around 2pm and fluffielady came back around noon from her thing and she took a nap for part 2 of the day..
Part 2:
We had a little get together with Vicks n crew with some Red Robin and a bowl. Red Robin is Red Robin with always something different in the menu. Ate there and somehow we all had the notion of heading to sportmart and buying bowling shoes. Since they're priced around 20-40$ and rentals are 4$ a pop, might as well own your own. So the caravan goes to Sportmart and nada, they don't sell bowling shoes, it's cuz bowling isn't a sport.
Off to bowl! Too bad roz n robyn couldn't make it. Everybody did pretty well. Fluffielady owned with her personal best of 146. I owned using Roz's technique at 191, highest score ever. It was 2 strikes then a fricking miss but saved it with a spare, busted a turkey, then a 9 and 8 then more stikes. I've never seen so many X's in my life, other than shooting of course. When the 1st strike happened, all i told myself was to do what i did another 12 times. Just like shooting high power, easy! After that set i tried experimenting and trying to figure how to tweak it.
Generally the gang had a grand old time. It's kinda neat seeing all the different techniques people use to lob the ball around. Seabowl somehow isn't packed on Saturday nights, kinda odd, at least the music is decent. Fluffielady loves her 80s hits.. Good times good times..
