Dude, Where's My Ammo?

Zonker and I went a-shooting today at the farm. I showed him the Daniel Boone rock and everything. We're almost lavalier now. Look at this shit, though:

I know what you're thinking. That's pretty sloppy fieldcraft, there, Velociputz. Four handguns and a rifle splayed in cavalier fashion, ammo spilled everywhere, holsters akimbo, an ancient quilt from my childhood with a very questionable smell, beer. What the fuck?

I admit, it looks like sloppy fieldcraft. But there was a method here. This layout was exactly as planned, down to the cheap vodka in the water bottles.

Whoever said guns and booze don't mix is a pussy. They go together like a horse and carriage. Like Kwame Kilpatrick and a Drano'd whore. Like John Edwards and Rielle Lisa Druck Hunter's skaggy cunt. No, this wasn't sloppy fieldcraft.

Neither was this:

That was my weak eye and left hand with the .357 from 7 yards, after we'd pounded the .45's for an hour or so. It's all about steady hands, and nerves. And booze. And being alone in the woods with Zonker. That's what makes it so special.

Anyway, we agreed to meet up again in a couple of weeks. We want to see if the Winchester's pregnant. Zonker worked it purty hard. My hat's off to the lad.

Thank goodness you didn't take a picture of the results after my first time up at the plate this afternoon. Safest place to be was that paper target, dammit. Definitely gotta play William Tell again in a few weeks. It's your turn to wear the apple headgear, tho.

Glad you guys had a great time. I love to shoot with friends.

I can't believe you two went out there without a chaperone. What were you thinking?

Exactly what I was thinkin' Dash. I'm not sure I'd want to be alone in the woods with either one of 'em. I think I'd be hearin' banjos playin' in the background and sooner or later the phrase "squeal like a pig boy" would come up...

There goes Neck with the wistful thinking again. You can be talking about souffles or bowfishing and Neck is right on the spot with the cornholing metaphor.

Hey, that looks like a S&W642 in the middle? Great personal carry gun. The wife and I both have one.
