Gun Tips<br />
By: Lloyd “Duke” Hodges<br />
My thoughts are more about the weather than firearms.<br />
Wonder why. As soon as it dries up I gotta get some scootin<br />
and shootin in. Why? Simple, if you don’t use your skills<br />
they rapidly reduce to a degree that it is embarrassing when<br />
shooting with others who maintain handling skills. All is not<br />
lost. You can drill at home safely. Verify the firearm is<br />
unloaded, select random targets pull the trigger and follow<br />
through. The sight picture on your follow through should<br />
indicate the general point of aim. What is important is that<br />
handling skill is retained. I do this regularly with my unloaded carry piece but verify my aim with<br />
the laser. It works. I also have most of my stuff laser bore sighted so when I put the sight on a spot<br />
there is the bullet hole and I get the warm fuzzy feeling I did the job without blasting up a box of<br />
ammo. Have you bought a new gun lately? Close to a grand probably and then decided to purchase<br />
a one size fits all holster. Let me tell you it ain’t gonna work. Bite the bullet and get one that is<br />
quality, fits the gun and you are good to go. Practice with it until you reach a level of comfort you<br />
are satisfied with and remember we are not 007 and do not have “that license”.<br />
Memorial Day has come. Take a moment to reflect on the sacrifice the men and women who wore<br />
the uniforms of our military services and the extreme price so many paid for us to protect us and<br />
allow us to enjoy today what our nation founders so long ago did at great personal risk. Freedom is<br />
not free and has never been.<br />
