Don't Let Winter Get You Down

Iowa winters can keep you from going to the range, but practice is important, and shooting always makes you feel better, and beats back the winter blahs.  Crosman pellet pistols sell for around $55 dollars online, plus shipping, and a homemade pellet trap can easily be built out of cardboard boxes for free.  You only need 15 feet or so in your basement to have a good indoor wintertime shooting range.  The instructions for this pistol recommend a minimum of three pumps, but Bea has found that her pistol shoots just fine with only one pump.  Remember to wear your eye protection! You don't have to put on your ears to shoot one of these, and you will still have your trigger finger/eye coordination come springtime.
