What kind of shooting is in the video, then, Brent? A Western Duel?

Looked like it to me. Nothing that we ever train. The problem with live-fire fast draw is that without a lot of training rounds go off in the dirt and even into feet and legs of the shooter. Earlier this year I saw a sheriff’s deputy shoot himself in the calf. I can’t remember ever seeing someone so embarrassed.

For most people we emphasize smooth consistent gun handling. In one of my classes you’d here the phrase “smooth is fast” several hundred times. Another favorite is “you can’t miss fast enough to win a gun fight, get your hits.”

I haven’t done much instructing this year.

Well, no, with the pandemia. I have to admit you were right when you told me that shooting guns is interesting. It is fun, too!
Have you watched "Justified", Brent? Rayland Givens, the.main character, was a gun instructor. I think in Quantico? Really interesting series, with sharp and clever dialog

I watched it for a while but I just stopped without any conscious decision to do so. Maybe I’ll give it another try.

Back from a dog soirée. I shed my jacket picked up fallen limbs, pushed a shovel on a couple walkways and filled the bird feeders. I have been wearing a Mallory Ten all morning.

The double sided tape holding the liner against the crown does not do the trick in the cold winter. I will need to source another solution for my weather challenges.

Cheers, Eric -

Yes, you found the detail, it's thin...I don't know how say it(my English..), It's very light weight, and I think the creased is sexy if the hat very light weight. Just like them show in the poster :

I finished up snow-blowing the new snow while wearing a vintage Stetson Whippet. The hard effort combined with my bald pate have the top of the crown having water droplets that freeze into ice drops and break free. Having a bigger brim works perfect for my outside tasks today.

Black Royal Stetson again today. I think this is my wife’s favorite hat.

Just stellar, Eric. I have always been a big fan of the glow that the tone on tone silver belly/sand yields, and the vintage Mallory looks like it has a great hand.

Went out for an 80 minute ride, with ample extra time for bench sitting and watching the geese and eagles fly over. Then a little work around the yard in this Open Road

The weather decided to take up sleeting, so I'm retiring to the house for the rest of the day
