Been to the range ( of course ) having some R&R behind the rifle, making a new style target we been turned onto, we call it a needle target, you basically have to shoot a 4.5 mm shot thru a 6 mm hole to get a visual reward in form of a chalk stick behind the hole to act as a HIT indicator.
Seem to work fine but really at 50 M not that much fun, come Tuesday it will be moved to 75 M to rise the stakes.

Also put up a few distance markers at various stations, 55 M - 75 M - 100 M 118 M and finally way in the back 129 M
And of course the 93 M / 100 Y

All i have to share however is a screenshot of a string from the Two.

Okay i completely forgot, let me edit and upload a little video i also made,,,,,,, BRB

20 minutes later.

We had a visitor while shooting, clearly this is a old school Viking bird, not afraid of nothing.
Actually 15 minutes or so later when it had walked up past out 75 M and 90 M stations, i hit steel there within a few feet of it, and it did not at all take notice to this, okay not loud steel but i am sure this bird is not deaf.

Here my friend is shooting 75 M with the bird 10 M from the shot shed.

Finally. You know it is.

So it seem like there is a chance that the shot shed in the future will see more than 2 shooters.
So to accommodate this potential risk, we threw in a #3 rifle lane yesterday, and modified the 2 existing benches a little ( shooter cut-out enlarged a little )
it could also be the #1 pistol lane, will have to be turned into a full blow bench and then my friend can shoot his damn pistol from that

If shooting wasent such a small sport in this country, we would probably have to get a " NO vacancy " sign to put up.

2 "new " shooters will turn up tomorrow, though the wind far from playing ball, my friend will have to play the range manager CUZ i am at home for a while as i have family matters to attend to.

There is a lot of good and bad to be said about the people that dwell in the dark cold forrest in northern Scandinavia ( Finnes )
But when they set their mind to make a lead dust collector they are not joking around, i had to break out the .50 CAL cleaners and still only managed a half decent job.
On the + side i might get a rat or two tonight with indirect lead poisoning, CUZ daum the thing collected a bit

On the ? side, all i really found in there was dust, not any flakes ASO, so that’s a good thing i recon.

And IMO i thought it was not that long ago i cleaned it. but maybe i mistake it for my humo MOD30

Note to self need to buy some big bore brushes / bottle cleaners ASO.

Wind ( force ) wise next weekend look good, but direction and temperature will probably keep me at home.
Northerly direction is wind right in the face in the shot shed, or right in the openings you shoot out of.

AVG winds around 4-5-6 M/s is OK, anything below is stellar.

M8 arranged for 1000 more reactive targets.
In the form of 68CAL paintballs.

I am thinking +80 Y distances and it will not be too easy.

My friend, normally dialed for using 10 gr ko slugs at night with his ancient NV scope, well using that same rifle today to shoot 13 gr slugs the tune was out of whack for what it usually is.
Never the less just slapping night time scope on the rail, and the aim seem to be the same at 25 M shooting pretty small mice he can barely see, CUZ he got one in the first shot later in the evening after i left.

Rats must have gotten smart, CUZ we do not see them any more.
We are hoping this is the same mouse that found its way into the shot shed and made a mess of some styrofoam there, CUZ one did that as we had overlooked a small hole in the floor at one of the posts holding the damn thing together.

We have put a severe dent in the pest populations at my friends place, we have not seen a rat in over a month, and mind you my friend have a CCTV camera on the bait all the time.
Mice also only come one at the time, and their luck my friends ancient NV scope are mot made for seeing so small animals at 25 M distance.

I was dialed in just fine, but then come mouse and i was like 20 mm off to the left, fortunately the mouse was pointing Right, and i was going for a head shot, but just made a center mass hit, that did made it keel over, my friend finished it off by shooting blind CUZ he cant really see it.

Getting set up for the weekend, it is impressive how much charging i have to do even if i dont shoot a Daystate digi gun.
Charging two 18650 batteries for IR light and UV light - Charging AAA batteries for chronograph - Charging Sekmet gauge on rifle, and finally also charging the NV 500 scope just in case.

Trump card on the Charging front though is charging my new power bank with the new wall charger.
Those 27.000 MAH are soon charged.

Not that it is very much needed these short cold days, but come summer the need will very much be there, CUZ i can shoot all day.

I have learned the NV500 scope it will not charge on any of the two USB C ports, but the one flashlight i have tried on there was fine, phones will also charge on there just fine but my old phone only take 20 Watts tops, and this brick can deliver 140 watts X 2.
Everything charge on the one USB A port.

Now i just need to restock the ammo, CUZ even if Saturday will probably be all firewood work and target assembly and setup, maybe try and choke the oven a bit more on the " air intake ", as it is still eating firewood pretty fast.
Then Sunday and a lot better weather, lead is going to fly.

Someone might or might not suffer from FOROOA ( Fear Of Running Out Of Ammo )

Just finished watching a 2 year old 3 part DOKU on the life of Abraham Lincoln.

It was nice to learn a bit more about a person i largely only knew by name, and of course a few scattered hall mark events.
Also a remider of the Danes history which in the same years suffered a great setback by the hands of those pesky Germans when they took a huge chunk out of the southern part of our nation.

So back then the Americans win the south, Danes lost the south, though after ww1 we did get a little back, though we was offered it all.

Okay i am officially totally bummed out.
Went to my stoprage today to grab a few CDs to compile some more MP3 mix tapes for the car, and to my out right horror and disbelief i found out that my CD collection is all but a fraction of the vinyl collection i in my almighty youthful stupidity sold ( many 100 kilos of vinyl )

So pretty much all the old stuff with scorpions / Judas priest and many other i never required on CD,,,,,,
So right now i sit here in front of the computer on youtube listening to Judas priest 1976 album Sad wings of destiny and feel pretty sad.
And a credit card in my back pocket that is just itching to be used,,,,, and i do think i will have to cave in.
Not least as right now The ripper started to play and my head start to go back and forth with the hair that is only .177 long so no shaking of that.

I can not believe i have diluted myself for so many decades

On the + side, i can still air drum to all of those tracks we played in the youth centers music room in the early 80ties.

Peashooter · Jan 15, 2025

If only my night vision camera supported fast charge, CUZ then with new stuff i would be able to charge it in ( /me snap fingers )

165 watts in the charger, but cable only support 140 watts.

But at least when my new power bank arrive ( +27.000 mah just enough for TSA to allow it on planes )
Well i can charge that fast too, and if not in the car it do also come with a 165 watts gan wall charger

240 watt total discharge available on power bank ( 2 X USB C and 1 X USB A ), sadly my " old " laptop do not support USB charging it need a stupid old school barrel plug to be charged.

PS. In a long summer days worth of shooting, lets just say my phone do not have very much juice left in the end of one of those days if the chrono have been in use all day, even if 100 % charged when i start slinging lead.
But that is no longer a problem

It is funny how things work in other places.
Take for instance this tracking update on a parcel from China.

International flight has arrived

Jan 12 2025 07:06 am

· Padborg, Capital Region of Denmark, DK "

I very much doubt that a international flight arrived in Padborg, CUZ while there is a airport there, also one of the 3 "race tracks" we have in Denmark.
Then the runway is just 1000 M long and i sure as hell never heard of any Dane going on holiday on a plane from Padborg.

Second. " Capital region of Denmark "
Padborg is on the Danish / German border in the Jutland part of the country ( that be the sane part of Denmark )
And it is just about as far from our vile capitol as you can get 225 KM as the crow fly or 325 Km if you want to drive between the 2 places ( mainly the E 45 and E20 motorways )

Very unusual i went to bed early, and fell asleep in only 2 hours, resulting me getting out of bed at 4 AM
So had some time to kill before i grabbed my gear and headed for the shot shed.
Being the smart guy i am i TXTed my M8 saying i was leaving home soon, and so when i arrived at his place 50 minutes later, the diesel heater was humming in the shed, which was nice CUZ just below freezing.

I then got a shock opening the door to the shed, CUZ most of the floor was filled with firewood, so we had to sort and stack that before there was room at the 2 benches, so we did, and also cranked up the wood burning oven.

So today’s session was a bliss and great fun was had dispatching the 400 13 grain slugs i had brought with me.
A little windy though so at 125 yards some times a pellet would land 4-5 inches from your aim point, but other times,,,, bang on.

amd ,most often acceptable inaccuracy.
