2013 was a big year for flat out purchases for me.... so this year I want to focus on putting some of those firearms to good use, but there are still a few things on my "wouldn't mind having" list.
Firearm Purchases:
Mega Maten Upper and all the parts. I have the lower almost finished... just need to purchase a Giessele SSA-E and then I can start to focus on tracking down an upper which is easier said than done.
10/22 for Appleseed. After attending 3 Appleseeds last year, I finally know what I want for my Ultimate Appleseed rifle and have decided to build it off an aftermarket reciever.
Beretta Pico... I want a .380 I can slip in a cargo pocket when I don't feel like lugging around my Rami
Mosin Nagant... or two
Training:
Outside of training I do on my own... I plan on hitting the Appleseed circuit as much as I get time for. I love the message and the atmosphere and although I've shot Rifleman a long time ago... I just enjoy being with good people. I might try to find some kind of competitive events to join.
I also need to get my ass back in shape. I haven't been to the gym in a couple of months and I know my cardio has taken a hit every time I run down stairs to get the laundry.
Reloading:
I'm new at it... so one of my main goals this year is to really learn the ins and outs of reloading .45acp and 9mm this year and then move on to reloading precision .223 and .308 next year.
General Prepping:
Increase security at the house and really lay down an emergency plan for my family members and get them up to par should they need to defend themselves when I'm not home. We are fortunate to live in a comfortable little sub-division, but bad **** can happen anywhere. This really is my number one goal this year.
Misc:
I have a Mosin Crate Coffee Table that is like 80% finished and its been that way for over a year! All I need to do is build the table top and I've just been slacking... no excuses this year.
I also need to get some more magazines for my CZ's and 1911
I'd like to get a little more ammo and also get my wife and daughter trained to use their guns. Take my wife out shooting with me and teach her more about guns.
To get a dressed out Remington R1 1911. To buy Ammo with every payday. To obtain my Utah and Florida CCW Permits. I'll be happy with completing these resolutions.
To shoot more with my handguns and obtain training for myself. Hopefully get my wife more involved and if I'm lucky get her to take a training course either with me or on her own.
