Dorothy helped me on the boat this morning. I needed her to get down in the engine room and remove a light fixture for me so I could put it where I could get at it, and make it work. She was a natural with the tools and working in the tight space. We soon had the fixture out and the job done. I paid her $20/hr. $10/hr for the labor, and $10/hr hush money to not tell the labor law authorities.
Her mom sent along some of the African sauce made with the beaver meat I gave them to try. CRAP, is that good. We are now beaver fans.
This afternoon, I took Dorothy’s big sister Gloria shooting again. Brian’s pilot friend flew up from Craig for a plane inspection, and brought my spare .243, which will be her deer gun for now. I knew the rifle was sighted in because I had a piece of flagging tape saying so when I uncased it. I went through the gun with Gloria on how it worked. Then I took one shot: bullseye. Ok. It’s still sighted in.
Then she shot about a dozen times. She had a tight enough group, but everything was high and to the left of the bullseye. So, I shot again to be sure the scope was dialed in. My second shot was right next to my first shot.
I called Sara’s sister in Craig, who has taught oodles of people to shoot over 30+ years being the lead Hunter Ed person on Prince of Wales. She said, oh yes. People can see differently shooting. Each person can be different on the same gun. I guess I didn’t know that. So, we just need to have her sight the gun in for her eyes the next time. Lesson learned.
