Good morning folks, I hope your weekend is going well. Our prayers are with those that are in the path of that fire up in Alberta. I don't know if anyone here is, but the best for them and everyone else, we hope they can get this massive fire under control very soon.
Got to go out in the desert target shooting yesterday. My friend's wife stayed with mine while we went out, giving us both a needed break. It was nice out there, cool and overcast. There were a few sprinkles of rain, but that didn't happen until we just started to drive back. Someone shooting near us had a full automatic and fired off rounds several times. Think about it, you can shoot about $50 worth of ammo in a few seconds that way. They also had a big boom go off, either they shot an artillery shell, shot off a cannon or they had one of those exploding targets. Whatever they did, I'm sure they had a great time, and an expensive one as well. I'm not sure I like to shoot that close to someone like that, but they seemed to be well disciplined in gun safety. We've moved or left more than once when someone next to us was obviously not too careful. One time a few months ago, a group came by and they were out setting up their targets in our line of sight.... while we were shooting .
We left a few minutes later.
