Pretty good evening
We finished off our silhouette league tonight at our gun club. I'm proud to say that I took 3rd place in B class. I believe that means I'm like the 5th loser maybe?
Anyway, while receiving my little plaque I was also surprised to learn that I was also receiving a walnut .22 ammo case made by one of our members for my improvement over the season. I gotta say I'm giddy as a school girl over it and put my plague on the top shelf of our entertainment center for the world to see, though I'm not sure my wife is thrilled with the placement as it blocks some of the pictures she has on that shelf. I told her i could hang it on the wall above our headboard, but I'm not sure she's loving that idea either.

"Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and given him triumphal processions. Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the new wonderful good society which shall now be Rome's, interpreted to mean more money, more ease, more security, and more living fatly at the expense of the industrious." -- Marcus Tullius Cicero

Re: Pretty good evening
Thanks Czech! I'm the only one shooting in the league that uses iron sights. Not to mention 77 year old iron sights with a bent front sight.

You don't know how competitive I am at the golf course! Originally Posted by Butch121260

Re: Pretty good evening
CONGRATULATIONS!
Can we see the plaque? I'm curious what the case looks like too.If you think pushing 60 is hard, wait until you start dragging it!

Re: Pretty good evening
Congrats on your award! That's cool. The ammo box sounds nice.

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.' Thomas Jefferson
