Frank, Ed , Just got back from a shooting session. Did'nt get to shoot where I usually do, (200 to 300 yd clear cut) They were logging in the vicinity. And since loggers don't take to bullets bouncing off their $800,000 yarders and such.And I did'nt fancy having a 36" chainsaw bar inserted in any of my valued orafaces. I opted for a different localle. Shot my 1936 S/42(very accurate and not a glitch) my 1917 Artillery ( same results) and my 1937 S/42 "NAVY" ( shoots a bit high, and does'nt like a limp wrist.Very stout main spring.) Once I used a stiff firm grip, it was flawless. And as I was preparing to try out my 1934 Mauser. I looked to my right. And there I was, with only, a loaded .32 ACP, looking back at me is a 350+lb Black bear, about 40 ft away. I yelled and waved my arms. (Bears are terrified of arm waving, ya know.) Finally I popped off three rounds over his head. He decided I was too old and stringy, and left.
So anyway not a bad morning as soon as I change underwear. The one time, I went out in the woods without my S&W .41 Mag. Never again!!
