Spent a couple of hours this morning at the Maryland Small Arms Range,
sighting in my new .308 rifle, "assault rifle" as Gregster would call
it, with a new 1x8x24 scope.

The range has a 50-yard indoor range, which was good enough for what I
wanted to do. Put in cushy earplugs AND earmuff protectors...these
indoor ranges are REALLY loud and so is my .308.

Anyway, at 25 yards I was shooting two inches to the right and an inch
and a half down, so the initial sighting in I did at home was pretty
close. Made a couple of small adjustments and moved on out to 50
yards. Right on the money. Using a one piece scope mount on a flat top
rifle makes sighting in pretty simple. The rounds shoot damned flat
out to more than 100 rounds, so after a five round test, I decided it
was good enough until I can get out to a 100 yard plus range.

Very crowded even though I got there when the range first opened. Lots
of very young and very attractive black young ladies shooting their
own rifles and handguns and rental handguns, too. Told a few of them
how pretty they were, of course. They smiled and so did their
boyfriends.
Always pays to be nice to the ladies at the firing range.


Don't be too nice.* Now-a-days you may be accused of sexual harassment.

Oh, I was very respectful. After all, everyone was heavily armed. I've
been telling pretty women they're pretty for a long, long time. I don't
recall any objecting or thinking I was "out of line."

They just laughed at the weird, old guy once you were out of hearing range.

BTW, how did you know they were shooting rental guns and were with boyfriends? Why not their own and with husbands? I... Smell... BS.

In the Army we'd say, "No ****, Sherlock."



Why was it important to point out they were attractive black young
ladies? Why couldn't they have just been "attractive young ladies".

If one of us said that he'd call us a racist.


So true.
