I'm no fan of warm weather and haven't shot since the last challenge. Supposed to cool down after today so I will be going soon for some powder burning (aroma) therapy.  |

I'm the same way i hate hot weather. It cooled off here the last few days I might even have to kick the heat on in the house. Rain , rain , and more rain !

That's my plan for tomorrow (Friday). Temps to be in the high 50's same
as today but with a lot less wind. Should be close to temps when IA early
ML season is to start on the 12th.

Will probably be Sat. for me as I have to take the wife to Doc. in the morning. Maybe in the afternoon tomorrow. I love the smell of gunpowder (and burning wool) in the morning.

My wool wad aroma therapy went well today. No world record groups🤷♂️ but every shot would have resulted in a dead deer! Also shot off the trigger stick while sitting on a bucket at 200yds. Still need to practice, but both shots were in the kill zone. Time to focus on shooting like I plan to hunt now! No rain, sunshine, and the cooler weather was a major bonus also for today!

Great day to be out. Wool wads didn't bother me with wind to my back.  The 10mlII was shooting fantastic! After years of different attempts, FINALLY got that thing to quit leaking past primers. Accuracy apparently
went up with it. But then, the 700ml was also shooting great. Which
one to choose? Decisions, decisions! |

Glad someone got to shoot. I am having some swelling issues with my recent knee surgery and have to stay off my feet for a while. I want to get out in these cooler temps so bad and patience is not a vertue of mine.

Well I just finished loading my stuff in the car for another attempt at getting some much needed (powder) therapy, going out at first light to the public range.
