Dog & Gun


My dog, Blue Cartoon Contest, loves gunfire and he loves the range. So do I, so I took the little barker out to the country for some more remedial pistol practice.

Blue Ferox

Lo and behold, no sooner had I drawn my .45 from its holster than my excitable Heeler began to bark with joy. He ended up being relegated to the 50 yard bench...

A Bit More to the Left, Please

I tried out some slightly better ammo, to see if it'd improve my groups, and it certainly didn't hurt, tightening things up by about an inch. But I can't brag, because my performance wasn't stellar, unlike the cop who took down the Muslim terrorists in Garland.

The Prophet

At the end of the shoot, I pitted my wits against the ancient adversary, swinging steel plates, at 10, 15, 25 and 30 yards. They got a severe beating, until I moved out to the 30 yard mark, at which point they were mostly safe.

There was a time when they weren't safe at 30++ yards. I want to get back to that.

Shoot straight,

  1. Blue Range Master seemed to have a good time. He's smiling in the photos. The groups will come down as the practice becomes muscle memory.

    And as to the cartoon haters...well, let them eat lead.

  2. How did I fail to comment on the adorableness of Blue Cartoon Ears?? Total oversight on my part. What a happy dog!

  3. I think it's pretty much a matter of rounds down range, LL.

  4. The ears certainly win a prize, Jenny!
