Remember to follow through. Swing and just as you pass the target fire. The biggest problem I had teaching people to shoot is that as soon as they are on the target they stop the swing and fire. Its moving so you have to move with it. Up at 5 this morning, very heavy rain and wind with temps. in the low 60's. We have a wind advisory today. 20-30 mph out of the w/nw with higher gusts with short periods of very heavy rain. Not a good day to ride.

Too chilly today to ride and a Nor'easter is coming. I've been using all my toys lately. The other day I had the occasion to ride the scooter, Yamaha and Cub clone. The car spent that whole day parked. Even better, with all the riding I've done it's been eight days since the car was last filled.

well i didnt do to hot on the clays only 12 out of 25 i only got to do 1 round as they got busy and needed more help and i suffered the double wammy club member and a member of the scout group they sponser and the high score for the event was 20
but the fun came after the event was over i took a couple rounds for the 91/30 along and one of the guys had his 1911 along at 75 yds i was killing the bowling pin with the 91/30 but i was talking a bit of smack during the day that i am more of a pistol and rifle guy then shotgun so they set a bowling pin at 50 yards and handed me the 1911 and i danced it down the range 5 hits hard enough to move it out of 7
then they took the pin and set it at 300 yds now mind you at this point i have only put 10 rounds total thru the 91/30 and none of them were at a target to work on zeroing in the rifle
and do you know how dam small a bowling pin is at 300 yds with iron sites round 1 high but i had a hard time telling how high(after we walked out to pick up the pin it looked to only be about 3 or 4 inches high) so round 2 real low(thought it would be easier to walk up then crawl down to hit the mark) round 3 just a little low round 4 5 inches left(saw the hole on the snow fence that we hung the pin in) rounds 5 and 6 hits
so i would have to say my nagant is a dam fine $80 rifle

Hey there Terrilee, Sounds like you got some weather coming at you the next couple of days. We're supposed to get just rain and possibly snow showers on tues. morning on this end of the state. Was out scootin' last Monday, put over 200 miles on "Rocky", runs great. Beautiful day so I took a mental health day at work and I went exploring. Grabbed the camera and GPS and got lost. Seen some nice country!!!

A really nice day today. Low was 58 this morning going to a mid 70's for a high. I did the food shopping early this morning. The scooter battery is a little weak after 3 rainy days so on the charger it goes while I do a little work in the backyard. Planning on a ride this afternoon and I am going to start a mpg test over the next few tank fulls. I would like to see what it gets as I am very easy on my bikes. Both motorcycles average 75 mpg and I would like to see the same on my scooter. I will let you know.
