Too long since I have posted.
College courses ending, school going back, going back to work, and college courses starting. My blogging has been put on the back burner. I hope to be able to post more, but can't promise anything yet. LOL

Friends, Firearms, and Food
Had a wonderful day. I am tired and plan to post about it tomorrow, but wanted to leave you with a taste of what the day held: :-)
Where we were at......
Side by side with my sweetie. I was on the left. Not too bad, even if I say so myself. :-)
Tried my hand at skeet shooting for the first time!

Today in History
July 29, 1862 -- Belle Boyd, Confederate spy, is arrested by Union troops and detained at the Old Capitol Prison in Washington, D.C.
She was ratted out by her supposed lover. Not much love if he is willing to turn her in.

Gun trumps knife!
Gun carrying man ends stabbing spree at grocery store
Man buys a knife at the store and then "turns it into a weapon" and starts stabbing people.
People are getting worse out there!
Range time
Mr. Tea and I had the opportunity to go to the range this morning. Gotta love those impromptu dates!
I became rather frustrated with myself after the first 40 rounds. At the range we go to, you have the ability to post two targets up at 7 yards. I had one straight in front of me and what slightly to my left. I could hardly get a shot to hit the black on the target that was straight in front of me, but was fine on the target to my left. I was like "WTF???" Straight ahead, I was shooting low, but turning slightly to my left, was having nice tight groupings. I put my gun down and took a step back and breathed. Stepped back to the bench and tried again. SAME FREAKING THING! Okay, took another breath and adjusted my stance. Somewhat better, but still not what I usually do at the range.
Of course, while all this is going on, my sweet Mr. Tea* kept telling me to breathe and not worry about it. I appreciate the sentiment, but I NEED to figure out what I am doing different and correct it. LOL
I am still not 100% what was going on, but I angled my stance more and was finally able to get most of my last 10 rounds into the center of the straight on target. At least I ended on a better note, although I feel I need to spend some more time at the range to work "this" particular kink out.
**I have mentioned before that I am my own worst critic, but I honestly know I can do better than what I was doing today!
