GUN STUFF

[ducpainter]

Ambient temperature and moisture levels in the air have a direct effect on how a bullet travels as it goes down range.   

While that may well be true...

you two were just whining about the heat.

I had two female shooters in my class yesterday. I've seen this several times now, someone talks them into buying a 'small' automatic thinking it will be easier for them to control etc. This couldn't be farther from the truth. Much more difficult to control a small frame gun, and weapons manipulation skills are difficult as well.

I joined a pistol club last week. It's a private club and membership is by invitation only. Set up by an ex SAS guy. Should be fun and I'll learn as much as I can from him.

General intro course was done, paper test was sat and passed last week. We hit the range for the practical safety stuff next weekend.

I've done that a few times prior when receiving instruction at a good buddy's club. You can never get too much practise though. ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»

Will be good to get to know the other guys in the club too.

Excellent

Larger the frame, heavier the weight, easier to control. The issue is usually small hands, but that can easily be addressed with 'proper' training. I have small hands, they look similar to a bagel with 5 D cell batteries attached. (and they smell of cabbage)

Got another training gig near Chattanooga. It's a 4 day course, covering;

Self Defense Shooting (CMMS)
Hand-To-Hand
Mental Preparedness
Traumatic Injury Management
Survival Skills

The clients are very' wealthy individuals. I'll be running all of the shooting, along with some other subjects. Should be fun.

Sounds like a good gig. Congrats.

First range day at the new club yesterday.
Lots of safety training so we could all satisfy the relevant statutory requirements.

Done! ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ"«ðŸ"«

Next day is in a few weeks! Alas, I have a cousin's wedding!

Don't they have laws against that?

Actually if you're referring to a law against first cousins marrying, I don't believe that they do here in Australia.

There's all sorts of genetic problems going on in certain sections of our population who think marrying a close relative is a grand idea.

As for my cousin, she's marrying someone whom she is not related to! Lol!

Chimp has not had proper training.

Likely ready for a ND.
