I've sent the Pardini off to Larry Carter of Larry's Guns in trade for a Pardini PGP75 Free Pistol. There is an International match at DCPA on Sept. 16th - the latest master plan is to get my Air Pistol and new Free Pistol set up and ready to go by then. It will be close, if I continue to work the same hours I've been working at my new job.

I didn't get to the shooting club on Thursday evening, as has been my usual practice. Too busy working on a new contract. I'm pretty sure the Sporterifle season starts next week, so I will endeavor to make it this Thursday night.

Another happy note - a Bullseye .45 (Wad Gun) that was for sale on the Bullseye-L mailing list may have fallen to me this afternoon. If so, there is an outside chance that my battery will be fully functional for the Jersey State Championships on the 23rd and 24th. We shall see ...
