June e-Postal Scores Are Up At Engineering Johnson

The scores are up HERE, and I am seeing a trend. Susan is shooting better than I do. She out-scored me at the last Appleseed shoot, and she has beat me a couple times on Mr. Completely's e-Postal contest. Must be all that good coaching I give her. Our .22 rifles are all zeroed at 25 meters, so when we shoot the Postal we have to hold off on elevation. Consider that when you look at Pattie's score. She uses a rest under the front end of her rifle because she can't hold it up, but I hope that at 91 I can eyeball in my point of aim to allow for elevation correction. If you haven't been to an Appleseed event, the sequence on each of these shots is: Establish Natural Point of Aim, Breathe, Squeeze, Follow Through, and repeat.

Thank You for a great match, Zeke!

Hmmm...That song calls out for this one...

Travel The Gravel...

...in a front wheel drive? Slow it down to around 40 and your little buggy will stay between the ditches much better. Go fast, look away at your phone, dodge a deer, and get out of the tracks, and suddenly you are on marbles. You let your foot off the gas and your car suddenly wants to swap ends. I have seen a few on their tops in the ditches around our place over the years, and it was always a front wheel drive. Rear wheel drive cars stabilize when you back off the gas, but with your front wheels hooked to the drive train you need to keep power on and steer back into the tracks. That is hard to do when you are skidding. Anyhow, slow down when you are on a loose surface. You will also have fewer flats, because the front wheels flip nails hiding in the gravel. At forty or below, nails have time to lay down again. Drive fifty in our neighborhood and you can expect a nail a week.

Got Glock? Get Gadget!

The nature of the Glock system means that many people are having accidental discharges upon holstering, either from an errant trigger finger or a drawstring becoming tangled in the trigger guard. This Gadget fixes that, and it's a darn sight cheaper that a trip to the ER. Order Here.



You still have to drop the striker to disassemble your Glock, so for Heaven's sake, keep a bucket of sand in your work area to prevent those annoying holes in the floor.

Mr. Completely e-Postal Update/Reminder

Zeke has not yet published the scores for June, and that means you should send more targets. The June target is a fun one, and a challenge.  Billlll has a great target for July, and you can't miss. It's like shooting Fish In A Barrel. Merle's target will be posted here and at Sand Castle Scrolls in August, and I have a target drawn in my mind for September. If you don't have time to sneak away to a shooting range, set up a BB range in your garage. You need the practice; No Excuses!
