I was planning on going to the gun range this morning.

Weatherman says we’ve got some ugly rain storms on tap. While normally that wouldn’t bother me too much, the Austin Rifle Club is located in a floodplain… thus rain at the range is NOT a good thing. The ARC leadership basically tells you that if you’re at the range and it starts to rain, leave immediately. You really don’t want to be at the club in the rain, because flooding and getting trapped (or worse) is always possible.

But just watch… I’m postponing the range trip, and it won’t rain worth a damn this morning. 🙂

I was hoping to not only do some pistol work, but also take the 6.8 out and recheck the zero issues. I was going to work with Oldest on this. You see, he’s had an aversion to shooting firearms larger than .22’s because he doesn’t like the noise. Understandable, especially when you shoot under the tin roofs at the range (far less problem out in the field). But he’s really itching to try out hunting, so he’s got to get used to shooting something bigger than that Ruger 10/22. Might as well have him work the 6.8, or maybe my .308 bolt action.

I’m not going to be upset about the rain tho. We need the rain. And frankly, that we’re still getting rain in June? That’s a Good Thing™. Just have to be satisfied with more dry fire this morning.
