There are a lot of different factors you can consider when deciding if an automobile trip was a good one or not. One of the most significant is the number of times you have to open the hood. On this trip, I had the hood open a lot. Let me back up a bit and start from the beginning.

In a previous post I went into some detail on the design and construction of some light weight target stands suitable for use with either steel plates or cardboard targets. Now that I've had a chance to use them for a while, I've got some feedback, and a new stake type stand for use with the current uprights.

When I was at the KRRC Fun Steel match last weekend Rob P. mentioned that they shoot a steel match at Puyallup on the 3rd. Sunday of the month and that it's a good bunch of folks that run it. (BTW, it's pronounced Pyew - Al - Up" with the emphasis on the "Al" part)
It looked like the weather was going to be excellent for the weekend, and if anything, it was too good! Blue skies and temperatures just a bit hotter than we locals are used to! KeeWee and I jumped into our mini-RV Friday afternoon and headed for Keystone to catch the little car ferry across Puget sound to Port Townsend.

I haven't been getting too much growth of the grass we hydro-seeded on the berms, and I now have a pretty good idea why!
I've been working on a design for some Steel Challenge portable target stands for some time. I have now finally put all the ideas together and built the stands. The design requirements were

2 An apt demonstration that Saturday Night Specials do have a sporting use, especially if you don’t mind running up really close to the target to “pop a cap” in the ass of the animal, which is about the only way you’ll increase the odds of hitting it. Still, I’d take a 3 shooting a SNS at 10 yards at those little things!

I haven't had a whole lot of time for blogging lately as work and other stuff keeps sucking up all my time. I did get a chance yesterday and the day before to put in some time on the set of target stands and steel plates for the new Useless Bay Tennis Academy. (It's actually a single bay range I've set up next to my house, but don't tell anybody....)
It looks like the MSM isn't really going to give the American public the full story, once again, since this story could clearly be positive towards civilians carrying firearms. In this incident, though, the citizen wasn't armed, but 'borrowed' a handgun from the holster of a security guard, and saved a bunch of lives in the process. It looks like he also saved the taxpayers a lot of court expenses while he was at it, too.
