Off topic....Range Report

My sister Betsy and I went out to the pistol range at the Saginaw Field and Stream today. It's a beautiful place to shoot by the way. We each bought a new little gun a couple of weeks ago and figured we'd get some practice with them. My favorite gun of all time is my Kimber 1911 .45 ACP. I've put many thousands of rounds through it and I'd be hard pressed to find a better gun.

The new ones are Bersa Thunders. Betsy bought the carry model and I bought the deluxe model. They are .380 ACP's and they are very good deals. Made in South America they make a nice little gun to carry. I always thought they were a bit underpowered for a carry gun but with the new improved defensive ammo, it's a great little gun.

We put up some paper..(trap score sheets since we both forgot targets) and started firing. I always warm up with my .45 and then switched over to the Bersa. Nice. A very nice little gun. I say little since compared to the 1911 it's very small. Perfect little carry gun. If you're familiar with guns, they are much like the Walther PPK. (remember James Bond?).

We finished up our shooting with the bowling pins. That was fun. There were about a dozen or so and we each picked six and took them out. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang and bang. I can't think of a better way to spend some outdoor time!!

What does that "Right Wing Hate Member" thing on your homepage mean?

It's rather distressing- wish you'd remove it.

"Right Wing Hate Member"

Agree this is off putting. Hope the publishers of this blog are not right wing hate mongers.

That would be no better than Slymons.

My brother can explain Right Wing Hate Member. Please. Do we look like liberals?? It is what the liberals refer to us "right wingers" as. If you are a bit right of left...evil!!!

Truth be told, you don't want to F@#k with any of us Lee's.

The pen is mightier than the sword or gun and Joey and Topper do a better job of reporting the events than I could.

You will hear from me every now and then. But for now I'll just keep plinking away with my little Browning 9mm, Kahr 9mm pr Bursa .380 ACP. Guns are like of like shoes or purses can never have to many.

Ha ha ha.. that's too funny. You're right though..guns are like purses or shoes...one can't have too many. At least for us Lee girls. And jewelry..the bigger the better!!! Maybe I'll name my new one "Black Pearl".
