Doesn't Anybody Shoot These Things?
 

What gives? Is it snowing already in most of the country? Is everybody just looking at the numbers and stamps on their guns? I'm trying to find my guns after a forced move due to Charley and trying to get my house rebuilt (while living 190 miles away). What's your excuses?

Lets all go shooting this week.

Snowed here yesterday, cold as a witches, uh, leg. Must be why Jerry moved to Arizonter.

Ed, you can move on down to where Thor and I live. Only about a 400 mile move due south. Not to cold, no snow yet, and best of all if it does snow it usually melts away by noon. Jerry has the right idea. Do darn cold with that white stuff hanging around. Great shooting weather all year round down here. <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" />

Tee shirt weather here, of course summers here are 115+ degrees....and we are done shooting by 7:00am...saw it 122 once

Snow here shooting about done till spring

Snow or no snow I'll be killing bowling pins and targets with my Luger and K98k tomorrow. January and February are the best months to get out up here, the inland lakes freeze and you can try the really long shots.

Been trying to see something to shoot, but the deer aren't co-operating. :mad: However, I have identified 4 different types of woodpeckers around my deer stand! :rolleyes:

Well Sid, I'd love to, but I like the job here and we donna wanna move again for a long while!

:D

Ed

Job??? Tried that once, bad choice. Better go shooting.

Gentlemen, Should be about 80 degrees here today, was walking my cat this morning at 7:30 in shorts and T shirt. I shoot often here as the weather is so pleasant.
Sid is right, New Mexico is just about right most of the year.
Arizona can be quite hot in the Summer but that's time to move to the high Mountains!

Am busy building a Baby Luger Holster for Tom Armstrong so have not had as much time to be on the Forum. Still read it everyday though! Jerry Burney

Combination of rain and snow for the last two weeks here in Trondheim Norway, NO good shooting weather over here:( But later on, when the temperature falls, there is a long and clear sight :)

Of coarse I shoot mine! Thats why I picked up a Russian. I wanted a shooter not a gun safe Queen.

Rain...Fog...with intermitent Rain and more Fog followed by Foggy Rain...go figure.I must be in Oregon!

Oh bless the indoor shooting range :D
We're at it every wednesday evening.

Of course I go and shoot my mouth off and what does it do. Snows. :rolleyes: It snowed all around the state except here in the Middle Rio Grande Valley. It did get really cold and windy. Not a good day out to be shooting which by the way was what I was going to do. I need to get rid of all the pumpkins my wife had displayed in the yard. They make such nice targets. Anyway it is supposed to warm up this week so say bye bye to the pumpkins.

Sid,
Talking about pumpkins. Something happened here back in the early 80s. And considering the recent death of the Chairman of the PLO. It ties together.

About two days before Halloween. Jack-o-Lanterns started disappearing all over town. No one could keep one on their porch, because they would be stolen during the night.
As you enter my home town. You come across the Willamette river. And immediately see an Abstract statue of a pioneer on horseback, in a small grassy plaza with a large "Welcome to Springfield. The Gateway to the Mckenzie River" sign.
The morning after Halloween. The Statue was surrounded by 100s of Jack-O-Lanterns, piled high. With a large sign that read."Pumpkin lovers unite!" and signed "Yessir Youarefat, leader of the PLO" (Pumpkin Liberation Organization).

The caper was never solved. And no witnesses came forward.

Just thought it was an amuseing story.

Early 1980's, hmmmmmm, about time-frame a certain guy was in college named Ronald...

Nope! Tweren't me. Everybody had an idea who it was, but it could never be proven. Everybody got a good laugh out of it, but our dip-wad of a Mayor and some of the tight butted city councilmen. They had the Police Chief on it, but he laughed as loud as everyone else. Our Chief at the time was Pierce Brooks of LAPD fame, from the book "The Onion Fields". He was a damned good chief. And did'nt take things such as pumpkin- napping all that seriously.

hey, since this isn't a cereal conversation, I am in Minneapolis for the next two days. Any lugers around or great places to go?

I see that there is a tommy-gun shooting place, just like Eugene that would be cool to visit, money is the thing, you cain't shoot just one box...

Ed

Ed If you are Driving south stop in Des Moines I'll give you your choice to shoot and a bed for the night. Bob Benson
