As you reach the end of the winding gravel driveway slowing your car to a stop, you breathe a sigh of relief. Zoey and Lorna greet you upon exiting the car. Zoey excited by the chance to see Odis again and Lorna ready to catch up over an afternoon of plinking.after handing off Odis and his baby bag to Zoey, you pop the back hatch . Inside is a Plano rifle case , a backpack and a bunker hill ammo box. You retrieve the items. Lock your car and head over to the plinking range on the far side of the property. Placing your belongings on the table you open the backpack, rummaging through its contents before retrieving a pair of special noise canceling headphones and some protective glasses. (Referred to as eyes and ears respectively) you both exchange banter while Lorna prepares her table as well .
“Yo Duncan! Ready to have your ass handed to you on a silver platter ?”
“Only if you kiss it on the trip over.”
With Eyes and ears on . Both of you open your respective gun cases retrieving the firearm from within.
You open your ammo case and retrieve a 500 round box of 22 LR .
Checking the safety on your CITADEL TRAKR, you load the magazine itself and then load the magazine into the rifle. With the range clear and rifle pointed down range You rack the charging handle , disengage the safety and aim down the sights(this process goes by different names in different circles but here I will call it readying). A series of 9 individual shots followed by 9 individual PLINKS sound off. The charging handle locks the bolt open on the 9th shot signaling the magazine is empty. You place the rifle on your table with the barrel pointed down range and back away from the table. “You’re up.” Lorna readies her CETME C 308 and pops off 9 of the 20 individual rounds in her magazine followed by 8 individual PLINKS. Lorna places her rifle on the table with the barrel pointed down range. “Puta madre.” Lorna points at a fat fluffy waddling up and down the range. “Maw maw incweasing of da handsomeness fo aw invowved!”
Lorna calls in on her hand radio.
“Máo-Máo on range. Dispatch hazmat unit. Over”
