Bilge pump or bucket?
Getting back to a bit of a nautical theme I submitted a ‘Myth’ to the famous Mythbusters yesterday. So, for the record, here it is. I hope they test this one out.On a sinking boat is a bucket better than a bilge pump?There’s an old sailor’s axiom that …
Lil’ too chilly to be playing outside today
So back into the indoor range with the air rifle. I moved the shooters box all the way back to the 25 yd mark this time. I was reasonably sighted in at about 17.5 yds before. Here’s the shooters box we have to use.It’s on wheels so you use a pallet jac…

Pump It Up
Some plinkin’ of a different kind this time. Our gun club has a brand new indoor range. The CFO for Ontario has set some pretty high requirements for the use of this facility namely only Lead Free ammo is allowed. Now I agree with the premise of using …
