Beyond the EI calling merry go round, I am as bored as I have ever been.
Crawling walls actually after more than 2 weeks of isolation!
Decided to take a get out of the house break yesterday.
Sat watching the on and off again rains, saw a break, and thought wth!
Let's GO!
Arrived to no-one else there. Excellent.
Got set up, and went to work with the new-to-me Convertible (22 LR & 22 WMR) German (Herbert Schmidt) Revolver.
She was a long ways off center at 10 feet, so it took a bit to get her set-up and frustration was just starting to set in.
Small break, and right back at it.
After the break, she settled into her (and my)
Sweet Spot, and began to spit them just about where I wanted.
A few more practice rounds, and
Let's Get Serious!
Now out to ten yards, the 22 Long Rifle ammo grouped rather nicely:
Switched cylinders, and the 22 WMR (Magnum) rounds placed even better!
Backed out to 15 yards to see what she could do. 22 LR again:
Not overly shabby! So let's give the 22 Mag a whirl at 15:
Even better again! Seems to somewhat prefer the heavier magnum loads for whatever reason.
Of course then it was time to play
Make The Can Dance.
Started at ~ 10 feet, and walked it out to around 20 yards!
FUN!
And for the first time in days I was actually grinning from ear to ear!
She tends to get a little "
sticky" after being shot but a handful of times.
Nothing a good cleaning and a little tweaking won't cure I'm sure.
Wanted to know if she could shoot. Yep indeed, a VERY fine tube on this one!
Guess I'll keep it.
And today, back to the regularly scheduled attempt to contact EI madness. Call number 130 in seconds...
So... What are you doing to try and kill the boredom blues??
Wondering...
