Boy am I fickle

I have been shooting my 375 Ruger and Springer 1911 almost exclusively for the last 10 months neglecting everything else in the safe. Well Saturday I took the daughter out shooting, she wanted to shoot the 1911, so I brought along my Super Blackhawk that hasn't fired a round in near 2 years, and my Marlin 45/70. So having the day off yesterday, I decide to go for a Monday drive through the desert, went to grab the 1911, and grabbed the Flattop 357 instead. It seems like everytime I think I have settled and something, the old stuff just pops back in and takes hold. Sure could tell I hadn't been shooting a short barreled sixgun in a while, but after half a box I was keeping them in the milk jug at 40 yards or so. It was unfortunate there were no jackrabbits, they seem to be on a down cycle. I'm thinking the 357 and 454 or Flattop 45 will need some exercise this weekend, and I am going to load up some 45/70 with Unique and introduce my daughter to the joys of a lever action.
