I had a decent practice session this weekend. My goal was to work more on sight acquisition with the new sights on the gun, and familiarize myself with what is an acceptable sight picture using target focus.Starting out at 10 yards, I ran through 50 ro…

Scream For Me Sarajevo

A few months ago my weekly email featured a documentary about Bruce Dickinson’s 1994 concert in Sarajevo. I didn’t worry too much about what the film was, Bruce was involved so I click the button to support the project. The DVD arrived a couple of weeks ago and I finally …

Outdoor Dry Fire Practice

By From http://www.musingsoverabarrel.com/ • Jul 27th, 2018 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Most of my dry fire practice takes place indoors. Since the majority of that is working on draws, reloads and trigger manipulation, hanging some targets just about anywhere in the house suffices. Lately, I’ve been wanting to devote time to movement and…



Back To A Fiber Optic Sight

By From http://www.musingsoverabarrel.com/ • Jul 26th, 2018 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I may be the last person in the shooting sports to figure this out. But here I am.In 2015, I changed the black front post on my SIG P226 competition gun to a fiber optic sight. I shot with that for a couple years, before going back to the plain black s…



Open Carry is Constitutional

By From http://www.musingsoverabarrel.com/ • Jul 25th, 2018 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

So says the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

(Reuters) – A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment guarantees a right to openly carry a gun in public for self-defense, finding that Hawaii overstepped its authority to regulate firearms possession outside the home.

The ruling by a three-judge panel on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, makes the San Francisco-based court the sixth U.S. circuit court to interpret the Second Amendment that way and could set the issue on a path toward the U.S. Supreme Court, which has not taken up a major gun rights case since 2010.

The fact that this comes from one of the most liberal and anti-rights Appeals Court in the nation must have the leftists breaking out in hives.

Wouldn’t it be funny if this ruling was upheld by SCOTUS and the snowflakes started demanding we carry concealed because seeing a gun scared them so much?  Sweet, sweet, schadenfreude.

Rebellion DC Whiskey Bar

By From http://www.musingsoverabarrel.com/ • Jul 23rd, 2018 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I spent most of last week in Washington, DC, stuck inside a hotel. Seated in a meeting, I was using the Untapped app to see if there was anyplace nearby for good beer. A listing for Rebellion DC popped up, and I noted the tagline, “Bar, Ameri…
