sure how the birds act, right at the nest. I would like to know if the females ever boom. The birds I know boom a great deal around and over Bowler roof where they will probably nest as they have before. July 9 Went out today to help on the pistol range at tho. I don't fire until tomorrow. We are automatic Colts. I shot in a magazine. The fire pretty well, you can see them. The trouble is we have only one day practice having never fired before. Then, one day & qualify. July 10 Fired preliminary pistol today and caught on fairly well. I shall probably get Marksman qualification. I wish we had more time to get a little more used to the gun. Pulling the trigger with steady 1/2 squeezed is half.
