Aging
Tonight I went outside at 5:30PM EST... still daylight here.... barely.
I pulled a pistol out from my holster and fired at a 100 yard steel target. It is 12" X 18"".
I happened to hit 6 out of 6 hits on the target.... a miracle to me at this age.
For the record I used a "small" gun... a Ruger GP100.... 4" barrel.... .357 Magnum... Federal 158Gr SJFP.
Today... at 10:30 AM I turned 70 years old.
It has been fun. I will continue what I have done all these years until I can do so no more.
A little over a year ago I was diagnosed with leukemia. It was a shock but what can one do?
I prayed.... and it helped..... I am sure it helped..... beyond a shadow of a doubt.
I will continue to send those rounds downrange until the Lord takes me home.
Y'all enjoy these days... for they are precious.
