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.
