ILoveCats:
When's the last day we had warm weather and NO WIND to speak of? The vehicle is loaded and ready to go with two kids' savage rascals, dad's brand new Big Boy version of the rascal (savage Mark 1g) a brand new Ruger SR22, a Ruger Bearcat, and a bunch of 22 ammo from the stockpile.  8)

Yes, 'tis indeed...........

Wuz gonna go Lincoln Trap and Skeet for their 250-doubles (500 targets) Great Shoot-out Hoo-rah today.

But.....  To do so, you hadda register at 8am, which means getting up at O-Dark Whatever to get from Omaha to Lincoln on time.   Shoot started at 9am.   

Further, If I read the announcement correctly, it was $21/100 targets, or $105 Buck$ total  (Surely I read it incorrectly.........)

Plus...got other stuff to do today in Omaha.

So--in consequence of all this, I instead went to the newly re-opened Harry A. Koch Trap & Skeet Range here in Omaha.  Shot 250 trap doubles targets at $8/100, total = 20 Buck$.   Saved some time and money doing it that way.   And got a little tired there at the end, so wouldn'ta made it through 500 targets any ways, most likely.

Like the Killer said, it was a Best Day for Shooting.  Most of all, met some nice people and had Fun.   Even broke some targets, which is encouraging, since I have just taken up trap doubles a bit over a month ago.

Coming after that Famous Trap Doubles Shooter, Andy Allen.

It was indeed good, in the end. The new SR22 gobbled up all five types of ammo that I fed it, so I'm glad I got A Good One.  Now time for a Martini: 3 to 1 ratio of Boodles and Noilly Prat.

Glad SFG's day was good too!

sfg, could've come and shot the IDPA match at the ikes range.   Nice weather, nice guys, just about perfect.

Well, please believe that such possibility was Duly Noted on my Saturday event planner screen.

However, the time of day for the IDPA Match at Lincoln Ike's directly overlaid another very significant family memorial event here in Omaha which had to receive top priority.

So I did the trap shoot in Omaha in the very early afternoon and then scooted directly to the priority event immediately afterward.

I'm closely monitoring the IDPA and USPSA events and intend to attend whenever possible.

Note to The Feral Cat Fancier:   Folks who claim they Know say that you're supposed to pour the gin and then just whisper "Vermouth" across the top of the glass.  Good to see that you didn't include Bombay or Tanqueray in the recipe.
