Don’t ask, just bear with me.
Fruit cake: phenomenal, incredible, not necessarily edible – Fruit cake. I had a box full of the cellophane wrapped tooth-breakers and gastrointestinal rumble causers…
I headed out to an area where I can do some drills, think pole barn,/shed/ , tin roof covered …â€shoot houseâ€.
I knew I was in trouble when I dropped one of the Fruit Cakes…and the corner of a cement block broke off.
My theory is Ellie Mae is working for a Cement Company , her baking skills are probably rated for Hurricanes...Ellie Mae must have tried her hand with Fruit Cakes. Anyone buying those new bricks for Hurricane areas , do me a favor and check to see if the initials “EM†is on them…any fruit embedded?
The .22lrâ€rat shot†ricocheted from handgun . That can’t be, so I shot again – oh yeah it is. Marlin 60 with X22lr punched through < scribbles into mental notebook>. Empty tube into said cake – humm that worked rather nicely; I thought. *grin*
“What are you doing?†The lady friend asked.
“Training Ma’am†I replied.
Guess it takes Bill Murray to make that line work.
“You HATE these things; you are playing -disguised as training with these things.†I hate getting caught…
“Now here you goâ€.
Folks, never allow a woman to get her hands on Duct tape, the makeshift Tueller drill set up, and the Fruit cakes. I should also point out that “head nod with the look, grin turned to smile†means you are in trouble…
AIR HORN! < Expletive> Bang!
I was expecting the timer behind her back not a damn air horn…Oh I hit the target all right- still the added air horn was a surprise. 45ACP does a real good job on this …this – just use your imagination – yeah that “thing†coming at you . She was "sneaky" ...the one in front was NOT the one coming at me, she had it come from strong side about 30*. Had another one from 45* weak side. Did I mention sneaky?
I was asked to step away over there and “piddleâ€. Guys this means a woman is ‘really’ up to something.
Air Horn, strobe lights, loud music, doors closed meaning low light…and a pair of Tueller’s on report…Pucker Factor is not gender specific I noted – paybacks are hell , oh yeah I had her shoot her own “concoctionâ€. *grin*
Yeah she moved the Tuellers- again. Sneaky. Granted I did not know this until I went to shoot again...
Shot some other drills – while being pelted with tennis balls, weak handed, and what not .
Broke out the shotguns, slugs of course for me, something about knocking these Cakes off bails as fast as can is quite satisfying. She used Birdshot…the cakes laughed at her…buckshot was better, slugs reigned supreme…I like slugs. * grin*
Think getting caught in the dining area and having to get to a shotgun, BGs in the hallway...
A note here - get the shucking elbow up and away from the table...trust me on this. Lady used a 1100 20 ga...
Reapeat a similar drill where BGs have broken down the bedroom door and 1) shoot using bed for cover, 2) On your back and shooting forward .
Note - keep legs and feet down if you want to keep these...make sure you watch that muzzle. I worked with her with a empty gun ( checked thrice) before live ammo, she had never done this before. She again used her 1100 in 20 ga.
We cleaned up and word is a few days later the remains of the cakes…the critters would not even eat them…
Testing *ahem* .22lr from a rifle, 30-30.’06, 9mm, 45ACP, and slugs – just flat work.
If I am ever attacked by mutant zombies, bears, pumas, cougars…
….I am going to throw Fruit Cakes. I have surmised old Fruit Cakes that have been passed around as gifts for years have to the most resilient “projectile†based on being the most “resilient†targets.
Add a air horn and strobe lights…yeah I will be just fine.
[SI=1]Not sure if Jeff White will allow this to stay in “Strategies and Tacticsâ€. We were getting trigger time, no one said you have to use a “particular set†of targets[/SIZE]
