Weekend Relaxation Technique
After a stressful week, going to the range and giving my guns a workout is quite relaxing. It’s also extremely important to maintain my skills because not doing so would make me an irresponsible gun owner (and who wants to be one of those douche bags?). The range was packed and a total sausage-fest, but LF and I each had our own lane and spent an uninterrupted hour there. I’m happy to report that my trigger finger still works, but I can hardly move the right side of my upper body today from shooting the shotgun. I looks like I have a giant hickey on my shoulder from where the butt of the shotgun was braced against it. I definitely fit in here in Pigtown with my random hickey. I wish it was warm enough to wear a wife-beater tank top so I could stagger up and down Washington Blvd showing it off.
Get out the pinking shears because here are a few more items for the scrapbook:
Point shooting with a Mossberg 20-gauge pump-action shotgun at 25 feet (three rounds):

Aim and shoot with the same shotgun at 25 feet (two rounds):
=====
Point shooting with SIG P226 9mm at 25 feet (35 rounds):

Namaste, yall.

I love that you shoot!
I, also, have a Sig 226 and love it. I want the 228 because it has a lower profile and would fit better in my purse (we have gun carry permits, here).
Excellent aim!

Looking at these makes me sad because you never take head shots.

Ima W.: I love that you have a SIG 226 too!! I get all starry-eyed over mine. If we could carry in Maryland, I’d carry the SIG 232 over the 226 b/c it would be easier to carry and conceal in an inside-the-pants holster without making my hips look big.
Lindapendant: You are such a sweet-talker. You always know just the thing to say to get me all a-flutter. Actually, we’re not allowed to take head shots at the range for safety reasons. Two d-bags got kicked out Saturday for doing that. Besides, head shots aren’t realistic from a defensive point of view. It’s all about center of mass, baby.

You crack me up.

What did that silhouetted soda bottle ever do to you? Or wait, is it a butt plug?

YNL: (Insert slight bow made with hands pressed together and fingers pointing upwards).
ACW: What that soda bottle did to me involves a butt plug and it shall remain between me and the soda bottle.

Where do you go to shoot, AH? I’d like to get more comfortable handling the Mossberg my hubby recently purchased.

AH: I like Continental Arms in Timonium best.
