Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is going well for you and yours. Spent a couple of hours shooting in the desert yesterday. We were off by around 6:00, had breakfast on the way and was shooting before 7:30. It was still in the mid 90's when we quit. The guns were getting too hot to touch. We use plastic bottles as targets and put water in them for ballast. The water was scalding hot by the time we picked them up, which is always a clue to get out of the sun and head home. We're still having a difficult time getting .22 ammunition. There is a smartphone app that people use to tell if a particular Walmart is going to have any. If there's a line by the sports counter anytime before 7:00 AM, you can be sure they're going to have some. They say that people are waiting as early as 1:00 AM just to be first in line. I can use the ammo, just not bad enough to wait six hours for the sporting department to open.
