I can’t quite put my finger on it (there’s some response fodder for you all!) but I’m strangely aroused by this photo.

A newspaper article from many years ago reported a highly intoxicated young man copulating with a pumpkin. The police found him in the patch having a good time while on late night patrol.

After polite noises weren't effective they dragged him off of the pumpkin. The police asked for an explanation. The young man was distraught! "What? It must be after midnight! She has turned back again!"

Lol. Was the young man’s name Linus by any chance?

A very solidly built auto mechanic friend of mine bought a mountain rifle in 300WinMag or one of the other 300mag cartridges. Very lightweight, made for a lot of toting and not much shooting! Sighting it in was a bear when you didn't know a trick or two. I told him to get a bitch bag as they are delicately called around here. A flat bag of shot or sand between the butt and your shoulder. That will tame down most anything for shooting off the bench!

If I'm going to the range I'll fold up a towel. My .270 just has a butt plate, no pad. It does not feel good if it catches your collarbone. A full box of ammo and you will have that weird orange/brown bruise on your upper arm.

My best was when I boresighted a 22-243 in the time honored tradition of pulling the bolt out and eyeballing things. First shot cut the pencil line thick crossed lines on the target and I was done!

They have all that fancy stuff but it isn't any better. I wish ballistic calculators had the theoretical zero when the bore line crosses the sight line. A fast bullet only drops about half an inch in the first 50 yards so it isn't a big deal, I guess I can measure the scope height and figure it out. 40 yards is probably close enough for a 50/200 zero.
 
You should see the jump cue!

I remember the first crossing on the way up to be 17 yards with a typical 22 long rifle. That would give you a 75 yard zero and shoot a half or 3/4 high at 50 best I remember. To learn to guesstimate drop I laid the rifle across a bag of feed on top of the gas pump at my great uncle's store. The four signs on the side of the road went from about a hundred yards to several hundred yards or more to the pavement ends sign. Four or five feet of drop to the last sign I could see best I recall these many years later.

I questioned the safety of sighting in rifles off of the gas pump even as a youngster but Uncle Vince was a member of a hunting club right up the road and countless high powered rifles had been sighted in there. Never blew up sighting them in, I figured a .22 was safe enough!

My daughter was thin as a rail. Her husband was a deer hunter so after him disappearing a week or so for the first couple of years of marriage she decided she would go too. I set her up with a .223. They said it jammed so they gave her a .270 to shoot, a necked down 06 best I recall. My son in law had given her a blind near his and he hadn't been on his blind long when he heard a shot, about five minutes later another. He decided he had better check. "I think there is a deer over there." When he found the first one she said, "I think there is another one over there." Nobody thought to tell her about the one deer a day limit and she shot two bucks the first morning she hunted. I asked her how badly the .270 kicked. "I didn't notice."
