You Ever Have One Of Those Days?

[Winter Hawk]

I got my gear together to go shoot my October targets, loaded the dogs in the car and made the 30 minute drive to the range.  When I got there the gate was open, the bravo flag was flying and there were lots of cars parked by the clubhouse with a couple of guys standing by the 25 yard shed.  It turned out there was a concealed carry class in progress, but they wouldn't use the 50 or 100 yard ranges until that was over since a couple of people wanted to get the chance to shoot an AR.     No problem says I, I'll just go to the hundred yard range, pace back 25 yards and load from the pouch.... And load from the pouch.... And load.... Oh rats, I didn't grab the pouch OR the powder horn! 

I had also brought along a rifle which uses some of those brass thingies which contain the bullet, powder and flint percussion cap to sight in so all was not lost, but I sure felt DUMB!

Don't feel to bad, WH...  I once went to the Range with just my loading gear and left the rifle setting at home.  'Course I only had to make a three mile round trip back to the house to get it - but it's the idea of thing... It happens...

Yepper same with me drove about an hour to see the IDPA range was in use. Drove home, pulled up out back. Truck was parked on a bit of a hump. While I turned and pulled my 40 from the truck the door slammed on the stock creating like 3-4 large gouges and bruises. I was sick and still is.

Yep. Only it’s 1 hr and 10 min drive for me and I didn’t bring a suppository gun.

It takes me a little over an hour to drive to one of my favorite shooting locations, and earlier this year I remembered everything except the loading rod for my rifle.
