Women On Target, Carmi, IL, 2023

 

Carmi Rifle Club had our annual Women On Target event this past weekend. Fourteen ladies participated, and all had a great time shooting pistols, rifles and shotguns. Debby, on the right put ten rounds into the Ten Ring on her target, and that is remarkable! She was shooting a Ruger Mk III Target Pistol with the factory trigger and a red dot sight on top, offhand at 15 feet. Valinda Rowe, on the left is our primary instructor. Come to our NRA Day in June at Carmi Rifle Club, and Valinda can teach you to shoot, too!

Weekend Steam II: 2 1/2% Grade

 The writeup says it is 1 in 42, which is real close to 2 1/2 percent. It doesn't sound like much for money, but for a train, that is a big deal. Watch the engineer deal with it.

Ranger's Ride

 Ranger is exceedingly energetic and he needs extra time to run in the dog yard every day by himself. Once in a while we treat him to a ride in the utility vehicle. He loves a ride.

Tiny Thompson Engine

 These cute little engines were not meant to be toys, but were meant to do light work. It's cute, but it was a commercial failure.

Tuesday Torque: Road Roller Rabbit Hole!

 Did you ever hear of McDonald Road Rollers? I sure haven't. Merle sent a clip of one, and you have to drive all the way to Australia to see them. There are several videos on YouTube for our gratification. Thank You, Merle!
