Up 4am finishing off some sheaths for people and completing a few other projects.
So I did finish the 11/14/Izula pouch.. But I don't like it. Nope not at all. The back has to be wider to accept the longer blades and it buggers up the way I normally sew them and attach the firesteel loop. Not real sure what to do about that yet.
Not a happy camper in the pouch department so I tossed that across the shop somewhere (No you can't have it) and finished up some other stuff. One was an order for a 'simple' BK2 belt sheath. Simple.....well ok I Suppooooooooose I can do that for you.
Ha not so simple, you can put an Esee-5 in there too. That's what you get for stepping on my creativity department.
Got tired of doing that stuff about noon so I loaded up the truck to go sight in some boomsticks.
about 20 min out of town and 5,000 elevation brings us to hundreds of miles of state forest, tons of fishing, hiking, biking etc up here.
My buddies wanted to go so they all piled in the truck too.
Then we have an unusual combo based off some of my Skydex designs that stowed away for some testing.
Got a second PPQ for the wife that needed to be sighted in. Insert a lot of kicking things and general irritation for forgetting I lost my skeletool earlier and didn't bring any other tools to adjust sights with. Improvised by taking apart some nail clippers we use for fishing line.
15ft and all over the place at first. So I sat down ate some grub and cooled off for a few and adjusted things.
Ok 25ft and that is much better. I don't get out to shoot near as much as I would like too and I don't make any claims about being super sniper squirrel.
50ft , I shoot pretty decent at this range. Still need to practice more, the high ones are from jerking. I hate when I do that.
100ft Hey, they are still on paper.
Well that was 250 rounds worth of fun, Let's break out something else.
AR68
New scope to sight in. I love the 6.8, low recoil and knocks stuff over. Ammo is kind of high but ammo always is these days.
Lets see now, left is up right down... no wait I remember up, up, down, down, left ,right, left, right b,a,b,a start
Ran out of free space so I used the O in the 'score keeper'
right where I wanted at 250yards, Just had to remember my mad nintendo skills.
Group hug
That gets expensive to shoot really fast. Let's try something cheap.
WTH???
Ogres get clubs but a true gnome always carries a sling.
Ha when's the last time you used one of these?
Evil tree was my target for the day.
Fortunately for evil tree I haven't used a sling since I was a kid and if it wasn't for gravity I couldn't even hit the ground for about 60 or so rocks. Takes awhile to get the hang of it, about the 15th or so throw I managed to sail one into my drivers seat.....
Which immediately convinced me I should maybe consider parking another 100yards away and run back to punish evil tree some more. Free is pretty fun once you get the hang of it, and you get a free tan because it is 90's and 100's here this week.
Go fetch truck, Load everything up and let evil tree know i'll be back. Then it's off to make some burgers and margaritas and finish putting together this gods cursed kayak trailer.
Happy Friday!
