January 19 is National Tin Can Day!

[2001guns]

National Tin Can Day? Oh, to have a place to shoot where I could just pitch out a few tin cans and blaze away! I've got the rifle, the pistol, and plenty of ammo, just no place to shoot where I can use improvised or non-paper targets.

I got some waterfront property in Florida I'll sell ya!

Well... I left the house this morning and headed out to my families small farm with good intentions and the necessary equipment to shoot this months target.
And... of coarse I forgot the target.
I did have plenty of other generic targets to shoot at, and did so, but DANGITT... I hate when that happens.

This morning I was helping to orient new members at our gun club and after finishing I made a quick stop on the 25 yard range and shot 6 shots, packed up and headed for home. Scored 40, offhand, 35 gr Swiss 3f , #1-1/2 buckshot. Might try to shoot my ROA revolver next week.
