So today I was training with a bunch of local SWAT boys. Very young and full of young man syndrome. They called me out on Bill Drill, literally doing it on timer one shooter at a time. No mercy given. Yep, the old man still went sub 2! Read em and weep! Great day. Had a blast
Had to google Bill Drilll. Man, I've been practicing WAY too far out there. LOL! Got the Griz out here ya know.

Typically we do the great majority of Defensive pistol work at seven to ten yards, because that is the distance 99% of the defensive pistol engagement happens at in our Country. The Bill drill is really all about speed and utilizing your bodies kiniesitic (sp?) allignment. There is no aiming.

Well one of the guys on here sends me a reel showing the training of the Mals for John wick 3. I had never watched the first two but figured typical Hollywood shoot em up not exactly plot driven, I would be fine jumping ahead. Spoiler alert the Mal training reel was arguably better than the movie. Well did I mention our Mal can be a bit turfy? She was having none of it when the Mal scenes came on! Thanks @WV64Signet

Running a bunch of steel targets for the competitive shooters. Folks much prefer ringing steel to shooting paper. Hopefully the range will slow down a bit now that winter is closing in. I am ready for some rest. My Chief keeps pimping me out for Executive protection gigs so I have been burning the candle at both ends. It is taking a physical toll on me as I sit in a chair today with ice pak on my knee.

Yesterday I got the privilege of teaching three youths how to handle a firearm and shoot safely. Two young females and one super enthusiastic young male all in the 7-15 range. Spanning very little experience to zero experience. We shot all 22s and they had a blast, we shot till dark and I mean dark. Their grandparents brought them out. Their grandparents own a gun shop and are passing on the love of the sport. It was one of those super cool moments.

Pretty quiet in here for being deer season. Not even a single argument touting 30-06 as the ultimate deer round! Arguably it is the 350 Chevy of the gun world!
I’m living overseas but my friends and family back in MO say the weather is garbage for hunting this year. As the weird guy who has never owned a 30-06, I’ve killed deer with .223, .243, 6.5cm, .270, 30-30, .308, and 35. All did the job but will concede .223 isn’t ideal. Hope you guys land some big bucks this year.

I just got back from hunting in NE Missouri near Bowling Green and it was 76 degrees on opening day. Cooled down for Sunday a bit but nothing was moving.
Regarding the 30-06 I think it's fair to say it is the Chevrolet of the cartridge world. The .243 is a Ford and of course, the .280 Remington is the bad *** Mopar.
I just always have to have something different.
Man that’s too bad about the lack of movement.I just got back from hunting in NE Missouri near Bowling Green and it was 76 degrees on opening day. Cooled down for Sunday a bit but nothing was moving.

It’s funny, I’m all Mopar be different with cars. But guns? I want the most common calibers haha.

I’ll admit that I’ve been burned by my stubbornness. I flew in to St. Louis from California to go hunting with my brother up at Kirksville 20 years ago. Only thing came through on the luggage carousel was my rifle case. The bag containing all my clothes and ammunition nowhere to be seen. Walmart fixed everything I needed at 11 o’clock at night but they don’t carry 280 ammo. I now always travel with a 30-06 or 270 back up rifle.
Man! That would have been a trip. Yeah 280, 264, 260, countless magnum cartridges are always scarce if you’re in a pinch. I’m just too pragmatic personally on that front. But am glad for guys who like to do the oddball calibers too. Anything to keep the industry going.
I’m out myself. Got the .308 with me today.

No wonder we get along, me and my trusty 308 are hitting the woods tomorrow. I hung rafters all day today and need a down day tomorrow!
I'd have to bet that more game has been taken with a 30-30 than any other round.

Just the facts, ma'am
The 350 is effective but the repairs to the Fisher body always suck. I'll vote for the '06 given a choice.
