Thumbs up Day at the range

Been too long since I went to the range just to shoot. Yesterday I went to the range and shot til I was worn out. 22, 223, 380, 45 ACP, 45-70. Blasting, target shooting, running the plate racks, you name it.

Damn that felt good! I haven't had a good day at the range in I don't know how long. Every time I've been to the range in the last many months was for some specific purpose - sighting in, checking function, etc.

I was so relaxed last night that I fell asleep about 9:30 (it usually after midnight before I get to sleep) and I slept like a baby for the first time in I don't know how long.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

My local range is a public range and you can only shoot from the bench, no steel and no draw from holster so it may be a different situation but the last range trip I ran music through my earbuds under my ear protection. I was much more relaxed and my shooting improved and I felt great afterwards!
