A Day in the Life...

Also, played around with this "self-healing" target for the first time. (Mary got it for me for Christmas).

Does not appear to be healing too well. Will look at it tomorrow.

Kevin

Looks like you killed it. What was you shooting at it? Looks like a B-B gun in some places so maybe it has healed some. Might try getting it warmer. Sometimes plastic responds to heat in a positive manner. Not sure what that material is though.

The few big ones are .45 ACP, the few tiny ones are .380 ACP, most of them are .40 S&W.

They are definitely smaller, I guess I was just expecting them to fully close back up.

The entry holes did not get any smaller...and even though they did not "heal" completely, they did ok.

Here is a photo from the exit side. Some are completely closed up....

...even the ones that aren't, are a small fraction the size of what went thru it. .45 ACP next to the hole that was left from same.

Really a pretty amazing little target (9" diameter). I guess I was expecting it to fully close back up. But I'm happy...we'll see how many thousand rounds I can put thru it before it is gone.

Based on what I'm seeing I'd bet a .22 would close up completely then.:Shrug:

Yes, I think so too...will try that out. But as you can see, the .380 almost completely closed up.

btw, all these rounds were FMJ. Dunno what a hollow point would do.

Also, will be interesting to see what a rifle cartridge will do. Literature says it will take up to a 50 cal., and that it's good for thousands of rounds.

Someone brought up something about bikes in the house....

Here are a few pics from 9-10 years ago when I did a burn-out in the kitchen for a picture challenge game-

Burnt up the plywood a bit. lol

I didn't mess up the kitchen floor. Laid some carpet down, then a piece of plywood.

Backing out afterwards.

No, I feel no need, whatsoever, to "grow up". lol

It's been a year since I started this thread.

I've posted in it most everyday for the last 365 days, and it's been an interesting experiment.

I've seen a bunch of great posts from others, and hope to continue seeing interesting stuff!

On a going forward basis I will continue posting periodically, but it is no longer going to be a part of my daily schedule.

btw, it was far warmer last year this time when I first started posting.

Was out for a 100 mile putt today. Sunny and 70*, perfect day to tear up the roads a bit, disturb the peace, pull some wheelies, and burn some rubber. lol

Stopped at a local rally for a couple of hours.

Off a small country road-

Running back roads of Mississippi inevitably leads to a lot of encounters with snakes....except during the winter.

Yesterday, was the first snake for 2018...just a little baby one.

Hitting them going straight is no big deal....don't want to be leaned over in a curve and run one over. :xzqxz:

Of course, that is one of the benefits of a Trike...no concerns there! :clapping:

Why'd you leave him in the road? Gut him, tuck him between the jugs... fifty miles or so and you have a nice toasty snack!
