This post is sponsored by the wonderful folks at: Thompson Targets

I was offered the opportunity to review and giveaway, to one of my readers, a target from Thompson Targets. Since I\’m not the one that packs heat around here, my husband and his friend Troy, aka The Rootin\’ Tootin\’ Fisherman, had a chance to shoot em up. If I didn\’t live in the city and I wasn\’t afraid to venture out to the woods or hunting properties, I could have been the one smacking targets. But instead, Mark and Troy had a little fun this weekend.

The giveaway:
I am giving away the CS-35 – the CS-35 Centerfire

Description from their website:  The CS-35 Centerfire Spinner Target is a popular, two-disc spinning target for “big bore” pistol shooters.  It provides the shooter with a choice between the upper 3″ target and lower 5″ target.  The CS-35 is designed for use with Centerfire handguns up to .44 Magnum and provides shooting action you can easily see (spins when hit) and hear!  The heavy-duty steel frame provides years of trouble free practice and many outings of fun with family and friends. Portable and easy to use spinning targets mean no more knocked down targets to reset. A foot rest makes it easy to push targets into the hardest ground.

To enter please answer the following question:

If you won the CS-35 target, who would you give it to?

Maybe you will keep it for yourself, give it to your kids, or give it to your sister because she\’s the one that packs heat in your family.  And it is Christmas time and this would make the perfect gift.

The winner will be selected randomly and the contest will run from today, December 14, 2009 – Tuesday, December 15, 2009. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, December 16, 2009. The winner must claim their prize within 48 hours or a new winner will be selected. US residents only please.

(I can not guarantee that it will be there in time for Christmas.  The product will ship directly from Thomspon Targets and we all know that mail carriers are working as fast as they can this time of year.)

Good luck!!!

Thanksgiving Family Rules…

1. Shoes off please. So be sure to wear socks without holes.
2. No reaching around me to just have a “pinch” of something. It\’s rude and I didn\’t see you wash your hands. Nor does it end up being a pinch. It normally ends up being a whole serving.
3. If your Mom didn\’t come because she\’s mad at me again, I hope you brought her taco salad. If not, someone will take you home to get it. Be sure to tell your Mom you will be forced to take the first bite.
4. Don\’t blame me if the mashed potatoes are a bit lumpy. “Mad sister” in charge of mashing potatoes didn\’t show. Blame her.
5. To my other sister – It\’s not alright to sing, “Taco, burrito, what you got hanging out your speedo” in front of kids.
6. Can we go one holiday without crying? Thanks. You know who you are.
7. Please bring a sweater. If you tell me it\’s cold I will tell you this – while you slept in today in your nice warm bed and all you had to do was bring chips and pop, I was here breaking a sweat cooking your 10 course meal.
8. My dog is not a cat. Please don\’t throw him across the room thinking he\’s a cat.
9. Yes my hair is a bit darker since the last time you saw me. The winter weather makes it that way.
10. If you kick, bite or pull my dogs hair, I will do the same to you. And if my dog, who never bites, bites, it\’s your fault.
11. There is no running around the house. If your kid slips and falls on the hard wood floor, I\’m sorry. Your kids shouldn\’t be running around the house.
12. Isn\’t it polite to bring the host a gift? I\’ve been cooking for you people for almost 20 years.
13. Jer (my sister) if you slip and fall on the hard wood floor, I\’m sorry but we\’ll laugh. Oh and if by accident you somehow fall down the basement stairs again, for the love of depends, bring some clean underwear.
14. And Mark, it\’s not alright to say you are going to the bathroom and sneak off to bed. Not only can we hear you snoring but that trick is getting old.
15. Please make sure your kids do not drink out of my cup. That\’s all that needs to be said.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving all!!!
