Cabin fever solution for all of us

poohflinger · **Posted:** Sat Mar 06, 2010 9:35 am

OK, here it goes. Cabin fever has set in real hard here in Northeast Ohio. So I propose a contest. First 20 people to hit the 10x on a standard size pistol target at any respectable range get an all expense paid vacation , including airfare to sunny Florida care of Ulmus and Gunslingerforums.com. Any one second the motion? :mrgreen:

I'm in! But me thinks we need to talk to Mrs Ulmus to get this one worked out!

I win !!!!!! 50 yds. and a pistol TARGET as mentioned. Nothing said about using a pistol at said target. I'm on the way Gene !!!

No, really this was today with the Savage @ 50 and 20+ year old Federal Lightning. The 100 was tied up all day so I had to make do with 50.

The bigger one's on the shoot 'n see are from the GP just seeing if I could hit with it at 50. I fired a cylinder at it with the mag wheel in the Heritage and saw wood fly but I think I missed paper. :oops:

Oh yeah, that big hole on the left in the first pic is a 12g slug for S&G's at 50. Guess that's close enough for erc work too, though not sniper quality.

The rest of the story:

My wife says y'all can come on down, but you gotta pitch a tent out back.

Then she said, "Never mind. Knowing those guys we'll have our back yard looking like a KOA!"

Nice shooting there Eric!

Well if we're gonna have it looking like a KOA camp ground then I expect a nice outdoor shower and swimming pool for our use!

How about a nice fresh water canal with some exfoliating lizards for the full sauna treatmant.

Seriously, if anyone does come down, I'd love to meet ya.

Well the "exfoliating lizards" would make for a nice reactive target! :twisted:

At least we don't have the pythons in my canal yet!

(the hunting season for them started today, but you can't use a gun!

)

Pythons don't need a gun, they won't bite.
KOA? = Keep Oway from Ape??? Pitch a tent? .........................................I'll just drive down the morning of I guess. Ape's and tents give me horrible images, sorry. :mrgreen:

And thanks on the shootin'. I put another on layaway today, and should be home next week.

The dime was for reflection so I could hold off to the right for the dot.

Do they really have a season for pythons???

Yep!

It's Florida crazy though.

http://www.myfwc.com/WILDLIFEHABITATS/Nonnative_Python_FAQs.htm

"Firearms and traps may not be used. The snakes can be captured by hand, with nets or snares. Pythons may be euthanized onsite by approved means, deposited at a location for euthanizing by a veterinarian, or transported to an approved facility to be used in research."

If that's too crazy, you can still wrassle alligators.
