    This is the third year of InRangeTV's 2 gun competition. If you haven't checked out their Youtube channel, you should, although I prefer Ian's Forgotten Weapons channel. This will also be my third year competing and my first year in the seniors division. Again I will be entering the Classic division, but may also dual enter the Scout division, although I'm pretty sure that's going to be very ambitious of me.

    If you will attend, we can meet up for a toast or take a few shots with the 40mm or MAC.

    So, are any of you stup...., er, Monkey enough to come along for the fun?

    Sorry, no bladed weapons allowed, just firearms. Maybe you could get them to include an edged division sometime.:D

    I might just reach out to them. Bladed division would be fun.

    I'll be heading out Tuesday next week so I can rest up a day before the shoot on Thursday and Friday. I was actually lucky to get a slot this year as they almost all filled up by the Patreon members who were allowed first call on entering. Luckily I entered Classic Division and there were not as many takers, unlike the more modern divisions that use ARs, AKs, and newer rifles. I'll see if anyone doesn't show up on the Saturday and Sunday Scout Division shoot and see if I can squeeze in. Wish me luck.

    I'm not sure if selfie sticks can be attached to picatinny rails. Maybe M-lock?

    All the same, duct tape is a miracle substance for improvisation. Getting it off later can be a chore.

    I actually have a book, "Minnesota Chrome" which is what they call duct tape in MN. Comes from using duct tape to mend dented and broken fenders originating from snow travails

    Unfortunately, I caught the flu sometime last week. My throat was feeling scratchy on Monday and I went to the VA hospital due to my medication not showing up in the mail and needed it before I left for Arizona on Tuesday. The doctor also proscribed decongestants. Tuesday morning I felt worse but was still going to go, but while loading my truck I got dizzy and ultimately decided not to drive for 16 hours while sick and dizzy, especially if it was going to get worse. Ten years ago I would have "powered through it", but once I hit 50 illnesses and injuries hit me harder.
