Bullet Boy on Shooting Sports

If you have been following me on Twitter for awhile you know that I have been absent.   Since about the first week of April until today I have been wide open with bits of time in between that I used to catch up on living.

I started off in April planning to work 7 – 10 hr day’s a week   for 1 month and then move to 6 10′s for 6-7 weeks.   Well that didn’t work out exactly as planned.   In the world of Carpentry contract work the job only lasted 4 weeks before labor cut backs.   So then I got day jobs a couple times a week in the same place for other companies for the next few weeks. Then without notice I got offered a really good job doing electrical work with a commercial construction company. Since being laid off from the initial job back at the first of March I have made a couple one day trips up and down the East Coast.   At the electrical job I have managed to work quite a few hours and been very busy on the weekends catching up on things I missed during the Spring Work triathlon.

Speaking of triathlon I managed to loose about 10-15lbs and started to get some muscle tone back after having office jobs for the last few years.     Work seems to be leveling off now and I have what I hope is a job for the summer and possibly even further with a good company.   Things should be returning to normal around here for me soon.

The end of the week I will be shooting in the Alabama State Tactical Carbine Championship.   Since I have not been practicing or even fired a weapon in a couple months I’m not sure I will be ready. After this weekend I’m sure to have plenty of ideas for post and catch up in all the goings on in the world.   The debate over 2nd Amendment rights is heating up recently with the attachment of carry laws in national parks to a credit card bill.   So the summer is looking pretty good from where I sit as a blogger but kind of rough and action packed as a 2nd Amendment Supporter. I am sure I will have more on that in the future.

Wish me luck as I get back in the saddle again.

I have a couple vices in life.   1. Being Shooting 2. Watching TV while on the Computer 3.   Drinking Red Bull.

Yeah the first two are obvious but the 3rd you didn’t know.   I have tried all the energy drinks Monster, Rock Star, etc.   but my favorite is Red Bull.   I look forward to getting up early Saturday Morning, earlier than any other day of the week, and going to a shooting match.   I grab my gear grad an ice cold Red Bull from the cooler chilling over night and go for the range.

It may be a myth but it sure feels like I got wings by the time I am at the range ready to shoot.   It is probably all in my head but shooting without a Red Bull is like forgetting safety glasses.   I just got to have them.   My range has a few snacks and drinks but no Red Bull or Energy Drinks for that fact.   One thing is they don’t fit into the $.50 range of name brand drinks.   You can get 24oz bottles at my Range for $1.00 that is unheard of these days.

Speaking of price… The price of RedBull is more expensive than beer (mass produced like Budweiser).   I found a deal on buying in bulk online.   They are about $2 by Buying Red Bull Energy Drinks Online or 5% off with Coupon Code: CFL.

So what are your vices?   Do you have any?
