I dispense goodness

Posted on by Caleb

To Robb and Breda, although Breda hasn’t actually received the box of .380 ammo that I sent her yet.

You see, what happened was that I was cleaning out my ammo locker, and I discovered that I had a buttload of 10mm and .380 ammo sitting around, so I figured that I might as well make sure it had a good home.  Robb gets the 10mm since he can has Glock 29, and The Breda gets the .380 for her little Bersa Thunder.

I will also be giving away some holsters in the near future, since I have about a jillion holsters that I never use.

Gun Blog Rifle League

Posted on by Caleb

Now up and running – here’s the URL: http://gunblogrifles.wordpress.com/

The summer match has been posted, complete with links to where to find the targets and courses of fire.  I’ll be shooting in the “smallbore” division, since I am not cool and don’t own any major centerfire rifles.  I will see what kind of damage I can do at 50 yards with my unscoped .22 Magnum though.

This is the brainchild of Sebastian, so if you’re looking for someone to thank, he’s your man.

The Holster

Posted on by Caleb

Last night on the podcast, The Breda mentioned that she was “buying that holster” I had recommend her.  This morning, I had a couple of emails from people asking me what rig she was talking about, so I am more than happy to oblige your gear-lust.

The rig in question was the “Stinger” belt holster from Galco – I recommended it to her because I used one when I carried a Bersa .380, and I thought it was a great holster.  Obviously, the usual caveats about different body types and comfort levels apply, but I’m hoping that this holster will work out as well for her as it did for me.

And then there were 11

Posted on by Caleb

Don Gwinn, the Armed School Teacher, was the lucky lucky winner of the 11th spot at Blackwater.

Although technically, with the inclusion of Sebastian and Bitter as Michael’s guests, wouldn’t that technically make Don lucky number 13?  The 13th…Warrior?  I’m so sorry, I couldn’t resist that reference.

I look forward to seeing him at Blackwater for “Summer Camp”!

Word of the Day

“Bang-‘n-Clang”: A general catch all term used to describe action shooting sports where the targets are primarily steel, such as The Steel Challenge.

Used in a sentence: “I am totally addicted to these bang-‘n-clang sports – the instant feedback and fast pace are awesome times 10.”

Speaking of steel, the Atlanta Conservation Club has a Steel Challenge match this weekend, I’ll be there shooting my Taurus Pt-92 in the production division, assuming I can find enough magazine holders for the show.

Should be a lot of fun!

Podcast: Chicks and Guns

Posted on by Caleb

The podcast went extremely well – you can listen to it on our Gun Nuts page right here, or simply click the flash player to listen as well.  Don’t worry if the audio cuts out there around the 4 minute mark; my hosting software decided it didn’t love Ahab very much.

Again, the live link to the show page itself is here, click over to check it out.  Having Breda and Tracy on the show was fantastic, both of the ladies were able to offer excellent insight and thought on the issues that surround women and the shooting sports.

I also want to say thank you to our callers, Jay and Joe for calling in and sharing their questions with us.  We’re looking next week to have a discussion with someone from VCDL on what’s going on in the world of state level activism.

Friday Night Steel Results

Posted on by Caleb

The results from Friday’s Steel match at MCF&G are posted on their FNS site, click the link for July 11th to view the full page results.

I am actually pretty happy with my finish – for this being my first action style match in years, I am just glad to have finished in the top 25% of shooters. As I expected, despite the fact that I was shooting a wizbang Open gun, I got all stomped by a bunch of guys shooting Production guns – but then again, I was expecting that. I wouldn’t expect to jump into golfing and be Tiger Woods, either.

Out of all shooters, I finished 13th out of 57, and if you only count people shooting centerfire pistols I finished 7th out of 45.  I am pretty pleased with both of those scores, but not pleased enough to not want to shoot better next time.

On a humorous note, I technically “won” the Open Division, but that was by default since I was the only gun entered under “Open”.

I had a load of fun – I’m looking forward to the August shoot, where I hope to crack the top 10 overal.
