I can’t locate my vz58. Asking my friends on the off chance somebody has seen it around my house or at the range. I’ve looked around closely, and so have a couple of friends, I am not seeing it. I also don’t recall lending it out, so I am at a loss for ideas as to its fate. Need it rather urgently for photos.

And a very rare photo…

…something in it is naked, and that’s not she.

On the importance of eye protection

The risk to the boy’s vision, above, is pretty obvious. The cock of the gunlock blocks some of the debris from reaching the right eye, but the left eye is unprotected. While blinking offers some protection to the eyeballs, our reflexes aren’t always rapid enough…and getting fragments of burning priming powder, frizzen sparks or flint chips on the eyelids isn’t much fun, either. The danger is reduced but not eliminated with percussion and cartridge firearms, though the danger there is more from ricochets, gas leakage and splashing of lubricants.

Shooting without eye protection may be more authentic, but it’s a considerable risk. he same is true of shooting without hearing protection: blank shots aren’t very loud, but live rounds can damage hearing. Flesh-colored molded plugs won’t stand out, and neither would period-correct glasses. Fortunately, this young lady used glasses during actual live fire events.

Last March, Alexis was in a car accident and injured her right shoulder. Later November, she re-injured the collar bone on the same side. That made practice with full weight firearms impossible.

Enter Umarex Morph 3x, a very lightweight convertible BB gun (2.5lbs in rifle configuration) supplied to her for rehabilitation training. Intended for use at ranges up to 15-20 yards, it should be ideal for getting her back into shooting practice with less chance of further re-injury.

Zastava CZ99 rifle, a .22 rimfire bolt action advertised as a youth model. In reality, it’s more like a compact but hefty carbine for adult shooters. Pretty nice build quality. A full review is in the works.

Watching Jen make op cans dance at 50 yards standing is always fun. And it’s a lot easier to get correctly posed photos if the model isn’t just pretending competency.

This image should show up as the thumbnail on the puritan social media sites like Facebook. Click on the link to see my photo. I don’t feel like losing access to FB until a more useful general social network develops.

My parents and I arrived to American May 23, 1989. Glad we moved! It’s been an interesting time so far.

Just did more photos of Karissa. She’s easy to work with, always reliable, and pretty good with small arms. Let me know if you need a model around Nashville or Cookeville, I will make the connection.
