L.A.K.E. 2017 Fall Camp & Paddle

    Well, it is that time of the year again for my annual Fall Camp & Paddle with my local kayak group.

    This time we had it at Bolding Mill Camp Ground on the North end of the lake (Lanier). We had a great campsite and lots of the members showed up. If I had to complain, my only complaint would be dogs barking throughout the park while I was trying to sleep. This campground allows pets and I think just about every camper took advantage of it.

    I showed up around noon on Friday and stayed until Sunday morning. We had a camp meal on Saturday and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The main course was Chili provided by Jim and Mike. Thanks, guys!

    I got a lot of fishing in on Saturday but could not manage to catch any. That seems to be my standard for these outings LOL.  Completely my fault since I do not get up early and put the effort in. I can live with that LOL.

    I did manage some pictures and I hope to add more, once members post them up.

Range Time

     Well, I finally got to the range to try out my new P238. I purchased the SAS model a few years back and ended up selling it to put a new front end under a 50 Chevy. (I try to fund hobbies with hobbies). Well, I missed it from day 1. I went last week and replaced it. I did not get the SAS because I like to buy local if  I can and I could not find one. So, I went with one from Academy Sports with SIGLITE® Night Sights.

    Initially, the gun had feed problems with the first round out of the mag. My first one did this as well. I sent that one back to Sig and they polished the feed ramp and it ran fine after that. I polished this one myself (gently) and it seemed to clear it up with the factory mag. It still does it some with the off brand mag I purchased at Academy.

The other thing, the front sight was off to the right about half a post width. I protected the slide, put it in a vise, and adjusted it to close to center using a wood dowel and a hammer. This was easier than I expected and kept overshooting center but it worked.

Here are the results from an hour at the range....

I also took the New Agent and shot a few rounds down range....

Just Some Gun Stuff

I also use this blog for photo hosting. I still try to keep it outdoor related.
