What did you do today

[Spikebuck]

Horns. Nothin but horns. Makin horns, shippin horns.

When you start growin' 'em, it's time to quit!!!

Finished the little shop project. Pretty simple and self explanatory. In use a sand bag goes under the forearm.

Required several warm up seeions gripping a cup of coffee. Not my idea. I saw a version of this on the Varmint Al site.

I spent today hunting a fox. Got it in the end but the snow soaked me.

Shouldn't you be wearing some sort of red jacket and riding pants?

I’m fed up with lock-down. I have authority to buy two ‘new’ revolvers but can’t get to go and get them ndd,, what's worse the ranges are all closed.

I have powder, charges made up and, I’m getting in top of my domestic duties - sort of.........

I went out to the fettling shed while my wife was at the gym and

The mug of tea is a most essential piece of kit.

Another 200 .457 balls for my Rugers and another 100 .577 for my lovely Enfield.

What did anyone else do (shooting related - today)

I know those in the US have some day to go yet but here the sun will be gone in an hour.

Hi Tac
We went into lockdown at 8pm last night. Curfew in place from 8pm every night as well. All ranges closed - indoor and outdoor. In fact everywhere is supposed to close at 8pm. Haven’t done anything except watch TV. However, tomorrow morning I am going to plan the next 6 weeks by timetabling all the casting for the different toys, bedding and might finally get round to properly restocking an unmentionable 1916 no1 mk3. Better plan some time with the boss and the dog or she might redefine the concept of muzzle loading to include humans and set the dog on what is left of me. I had already made up cartridges and ball for the smoothies and the Enfields during the last failed circuit breaker lockdown but they never even saw daylight before this new craziness. I might have a go at making a copy of car jack rifle rest.

I originally planned to take advantage of today's CODIV-19 opportunities and complete a few tasks that are building up seniority on my to do list. Fortunately, something caught my eye and I wound up putting my accumulation of Thompson Center catalogs in order. I've been meaning to do this for at least 15-years so I was fortunate that I was able to shift my priorities.

OTOH, your picture of the jack dealy reminded me that i need to make something similar. Got a design in my head that was on another site.

Please post a pic when it is completed!

I hate builders tea. Bits of cement and wood in it. And there's always a crack on display
