Ready and no where to go!

[bill grill]

Winters are long here in upper Michigan and I think it’s reloading season. Well I’m ready with no where to go

[C.O.B.]

Maybe I'll come up and help you lighten the load. Seriously I have done the same thing with 16ga and 20ga now I'm loading rifle shells just in case I have to defend our TP reserves

Looks like my basement.

I suspect Bill Grill likes 20 gauges, by all of the yellow shell casings shown. My favorite gauge also.

Bill's photo got me thinking. I also have an array of 5-gallon buckets full of cartridges. And I even thought that I ought to head out to the clays range this week to use some up and enjoy myself. Then a series of disquieting thoughts hit me:

I will have to pick up a trap card from the office to slip into the control box at each station. Who knows what germs will be on that card?

Then I will have to push a few buttons at each station to throw targets. Who knows what germs will be on those buttons?

For that matter, who know what germs will be on the door handle to the clubhouse?

THEN I thought I could get around all that by wearing latex gloves. I tried some on. Then realized that they remove all tactile sensation from handling my gun. And they look stupid.

I finally decided to wait however long it takes until this COVID-19 thing is over. It would be no fun otherwise. Maybe even worse.

Just my thoughts here in social isolation...

I’m trying to change airline tickets that have already been cancelled by the airline to perhaps the last week of September until late October and today the Boss tells me they’re talking about keeping Manila shut down for SIX MONTHS ! I can stand missing archery season but I don’t wish to miss the ML and or rifle season .

Some Texans would probably suggest you are a little short on 20 gauge ammunition.

You missed one:

You could have been exposed to the virus and unknowingly be the carrier that infects the place.

You're right. My wife still thinks I'm infectious.

Local sporting clays range, Hunting Hills, just closed down. Was going to shoot there with Brett Hoops this weekend.
Bill, where are you located in the UP? I stay just south of Sagola for 2 weeks/year--want to go for 3 this year. Havent missed a season up there since 1986.
