After mostly recovering from the trek to shoot the North Carolina Sectional on Friday, I was up early Sunday to take in the monthly Fredericksburg Practical Shooters USPSA match. In a stark contrast from the warm temps of North Carolina a couple o…



A Fire and A Stout

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Oct 10th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

On a recent cool evening, one of the first of the season, we decided it was time to enjoy a peat fire. We had also spent a couple of hours before dusk out at the range so I had the urge to not only warm my outside by the fire, but my inside with a rich…



NC Sectional Championship

Last Friday I travelled down to Creedmore, NC with a couple of shooting buddies to participate in the USPSA NC Sectional Championship match. We planned to meet at 0500 to depart. I woke up with a start at 4:40 AM realizing I had overslept. I rushed out…



I’m Officially Hoplorati

Andy, who blogs over at In Search of the Tempestuous Sea, is on a mission to help the hoplorati show off their allegiances. Beside some great blog graphics, like the one I have used in the right hand column, he’s created a very cool…



Five Years of Musing

Today marks the five year anniversary of Musings Over a Pint. It doesn’t really seem that long ago, but I even did the math a couple of times to be sure. 🙂 It’s been a fun run, and it continues to be. I’ve met many wonderful folks and had some fun ex…



Five O’Clock Friday: Relaxing?

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Oct 5th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I’m in North Carolina today shooting the Infinity Firearms NC Sectional Championship, but I expect to be home in time for a relaxing nightcap. As is typical, Saturday will be devoted to chores and errands. And then on Sunday, I’ve got plans for more sh…



Where’s Jim Lehrer?

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Oct 5th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Politics

They say sometimes life imitates art. Watching Wednesday’s presidential debate, I was reminded of this scene from The Avengers movie.

The only character missing is Jim Lehrer. Although one might assume he’s represented by the floor …



Trigger Time: When It Rains, It Pours

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Oct 4th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

After a drought (not draught) of range time, I managed to squeeze in two trips to the range this week. Being optimistic for more trigger time, I left the car loaded with the target paraphernalia from the weekend trip, so I was prepared when a friend …



Has Brewing Jumped The Shark?

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Oct 3rd, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Craft beer brewers are a creative bunch. Their quest for interesting ingredients to use in brewing brings us new and tasty drinks to enjoy. But sometimes I have to stop and wonder if a quest for shock factor has usurped sensibilities. Let’s look at som…
