Well I can't seem to get the video to load.....durn it....so I will go with the regular posting.
On Friday my Son graduated from 5th grade and he did very well, As a reward.....He wanted to go to the range...I immediately had this thought...
Well after we left the school, I went home grabbed a couple of rifles and we went to the range. I always try to go to the range, but with my goofy schedule it has been difficult. Well any way we went to try this new range that just opened up just north of where we live, and it cost a bit more, but the savings of time and gas made it worthwhile. And it was a *Nice* range. I always have seen these ranges on TV and the places I have shot in the past were definitely on a budget. No complaints, I just like having a place to shoot. But this range was *posh* in my book, granted I have low standards I guess.
I was using a 22 adapter to shoot with. so I let him shoot it. I also brought 20 rounds of .5.56 to let the rifle shoot through the regular bolt. I know the holes in the paper are the same size, but it sounds and operates differently under a full power load. I also let him shoot a few rounds with the regular bolt carrier group so he gets the feel of the rifle with the different ammunition.
And speaking of good times, I had told my Dad that we were shooting at the "new" range so he joined us to shoot his "new" 22LR semi auto pistol that he recently bought.
I felt really good, I had both my son and my dad at the range, there were 3 generations of shooters on the firing line....I think it disturbed the space time continuum. We did have a good time and I picked up a few new polymer magazines to augment the old style GI magazines I had when I left the service back in 1991. $10 a pop wasn't a bad price, especially when I remembered the stupidity that happened last year. I am glad to see that AR parts have dropped back to almost realistic levels. Unfortunately the supply of .22 LR hasn't.
Fixing to bag them back up the end of the shooting day, we all were tired. I than woke up saturday morning and spend all day Saturday helping to prep the land for cub day camp. It was already getting warm and being in the sun really takes it ou
Three generations is a GREAT day! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Mr G.,
ReplyDelete'Just did a little range time this afternoon myself. Good "Recoil Therapy" with a couple of 9mm semi-auto pistols. Practice, practice!
