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. When you have trouble telling the time.
Probably not worth the paper it is written on.
One could also mention the so called Monroe doctrine of 1823, where the Americans would remain neutral on European politics and respect established colonies. A excellent prank to pull at some urinals.
Of course even if you can muster such forceful stream i advise to use water in a squees bottle.
But anyone " occupied " at the urinal probably be very freaked having a that big caliber discharger right behind them.
What we Danes do in Winter.
I am thinking in these days of not hot enough
As the little oven have a hard time pumping up thevolume,,,,, sorry heat in the shot shed.
Maybe upgrade to a proper oven, and instead of piping strait out the back of the shed, go up and out the roof with the not insulated chimney pipe.
You can trust Mike.
When i have been shopping airguns.
Americans will do any format but metric.
The perpetual conundrum.
Not licenced construction going on in my friends fields, these little bastards though, experts in trench warfare, so make it hard for the lone sniper.
Making my point on a gas tank nozzle at 60 M ( zeroed for 55 )
If you do not want to say it with words, to that person that's not at all cool.
Send this picture.
I visited the local store Gunpit on Friday, and got to handle various daystate - brocok - RTI and FX rifles.
I dunno what happened but all of the rifles felt quite small and fragile, well compared to my old Maverick and not least my Two which is like a sledgehammer in comparison with those little bulpup rifles.
BRK ghost felt fine though, Smol but fine, still like to get me some trigger time on one.
Also my M8 i brought along, well it seem the FX rifle ( Panthera ) he like / dislike in pictures, well hands on he is now sure that will be just fine for him, the big question is where to find the substantial amount of money for it.
In all fairness it do not take my M8 much work to dislike just about anything. It is range time !!!
Or that is, first it is buy and put EHD tarp on roof of shot shed time, CUZ the damn thing is taking in water.
And as it is also electrified mow ( mains and USB power ) well we cant have that.
But by noon i think we will be back up and running, which give me 4 hours to play with stuff ( ammo ) before it get dark
On the good side i found the tarp in a place we know well ( have driven 4x4 RC truck competitions there )
So the route is well known.
I only driven there 1 time, and took the #2 spot after my M8, but we also have about a decade head start on most other people there.
As a bonus the route go past the Town of Herning where the airgun store Gunpit is located, so i figure bring my M8 and let him see some of the real stuff, maybe that can prompt him to sell of some of the surplus stuff he have and buy a expensive rifle VS the Chinese stuff he have.
It should not take much more than a hour to put the new Extreme Heavy Duty tarp on the roof of the shed, it is almost 4 X heavier than the tarp that is there already, so this one i am fairly confident will last a while at least.
Bringing my pesting / Digi rifle, CUZ i want to dial it in for Hades pellets, maybe even try a little 13 grain slugs in it too which is my #2 alternative ammo now that 10 grain KO MK3 slugs will not work, but i know 13 gr Zans have worked in my 700 mm barrel so it should work in the 600 mm one too.
And good timing, today is just drizzle, tomorrow is all day rain it seem according to the unreliable weather gurus working on my tax dime.
06:25 in the morning now and i have been up since 05:30, and most surprising i have slept too, which sadly is unusual,
Factory open at 7 and it is a 1.5 hour drive there
For sure i will not last till way past midnight waiting for rats to take the bait.
Also my M8 gotten a new spotting scope, 80 X magnification, so will see little 4.5 mm holes in the far end of the field, came with little tripod and phone holder so we dont have to lean over to see where the shots land.
PS: The new foot on my CF tank, Daum
that was hard guiding into the range bag, but it is in there alright but i fear if it have to come out i will have to cut apart the range bag,,,,, so lucky it is cheap. Not that i am paranoid.
But it warm my heart "The Big Stick" will be cruising the North sea, probably the area of what was the greatest ever Naval battle ever ( Battle of Jutland )
Also the old Red & white look mighty fine up there in the mast.
Of other naval curiosities i think Denmark was the target of the very first air attack on land launched off a carrier, during WW1 when the British bombed a zeppelin airfield near the now Danish town of Esbjerg ( back then it was part of Denmark Germans took in 1864 )
Also i think Denmark / our capitol might also have been the first town in the world to be attacked by Naval missile attack,,,,, again those Damn British. If you have been a naughty boy.
Santa still have something for you.
I bet you never expected to see camel toe on this forum and the post not getting deleted by admins.
I have flown around the world a few times, never seen this, if i did i would get off immediately no matter the altitude.
Danish shooting range.
My cat tried shrooms for the first time.
You break it, you buy it.

Another good day in the shed, during the daytime shooting i only had the finger heater going.
But at 4 in the afternoon i had to start the oven up, and it then burned until 4 in the morning.
I have now choked off the oven, so it now burn wood at a more moderate pace.
Shot shed warming up.
In pic, big ass IR illuminator, my friend need this for ancient night device.
Wheel barrow, it is there for a reason, it is the sit inside in house / see rats on CCTV /grab rifle and run outside improvised tripod.
We also tried to run the diesel heater at the same time, but the 3M long exhaust we have on it make it soot up and stop, so a new shorter exhaust will have to be whipped up.
While it did run though, the temperature was kicked up another 4 deg C to 24 which for me is nice.
A minus though all day was the wind was in the face and so also coming in the open shudders, fortunately fairly moderate but you could feel it in the gusts.
Clearly we have to do something about the openings, we are loosing too much heat that way, but we are working on some ideas, yesterday i just propped up some stuff to half the opening size.
While waiting for rat / mouse season to start up later in the evening, i made a little " Hygge " timelapse in the shed.
Later on my scope watch i heard i high pitched voice, and it was mocking me.
That kind of behaviour we do not take kindly to.
So spotting Micky at 30 M distance giving me the stink eye and flipping me off,,,,,, i turned his head into a canoe, CUZ we have none of that on my watch / on my friends property.
10 gr JSB KO MK3 at 977 fps.
Had to shuffle around my ammo due to load bearing concerns, the .177 use to be in the same place as .22, but i dont think that is healthy for the kitchen cabinet, so have moved the .177 collection to a place of its own.
Okay there are also 10 grain JSB KO MK3 slugs in here, and a range tin of 24 and 20 grain Zan slugs, but otherwise it is mainly pellets.
The collection of Zan slugs mainly 16 and 13 grain so far live in cardboard boxes in the living room.
CUZ by far i shoot the most slugs, pellets is just playtime for me.
The MK3 slugs, well now that i have a DN scope i will try to get some permissions to smack rats. And my plan is to use those for that so i dont risk making too many holes in peoples stuff, CUZ that would be uncool.
