It's That Time Again!

[Taurian]

Ayup! Another year's end is on the near horizon.  A new year always brings about what we intend to do the next year. Some of which are kept while others are not. We call them "New Year Resolutions."  Simply put, we make a firm decision to do or not to do something. Most often, there are multiples of somethings.

I can wrap my resolution(s) up in in three steps;

• Aim at my target. The smaller the target the better.
• Squeeze the trigger, but know what lies beyond the target.
• Follow through and continue to achieve my goals.

Happy New Year one and all!

And to you as well!

This year I didn't get up to the gun club to shoot my own stuff, even once.
My resolution for 2018 is to spend time on the range at least once a month.
Sounds good to me!

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!

OR53, out

I don't make resolutions but hope all your come to fruition. Happy new year to all of you. I enjoy being here with keyboard friends.

Just for clarification, my resolution were for things in general. As I get older, I don't shoot for completing lofty goals. I find that achieving small goals is just as satisfying. 

I am fortunate in belonging to a local gun club/range that is relatively close by my homestead. Every Sunday is a planned range day. I have breakfast at a Waffle House that is near to the range with one of my shooting companions. We usually arrive at the range before they open and another shooting companion joins us for usual discussion about firearms, work, etc.  I have made some good friends and range day is the one thing that I look forward to each week. It is my "down-time" and a time to relax among friends.

This morning I got to convince my son-in-law to purchase a handgun that he doesn't need. I got to shoot my Ruger American Rimfire Target 22 WMR that I don't need. Next week I get to shoot a pistol that I don't own (nor will), and I will produce a review of it at sometime later.

I find that, because I am an introverted thinker, it is harder for me to begin a journey than to end one.  I find that beginning a journey is a small goal in itself. Some journeys have been worth starting, while others should have been left cast by the wayside. Some of my journeys have not been worth the price of admission. And, I am sure that there are some that can relate to that.

In looking forward, I can only say that somewhere in all of this horse manure there has to be a pony.

Once again, Happy New Year to all of my forum friends!
