    An Awesome Day

    Spoiler: cool story bro, and/or TL;DR.

    I find there's quite a bit of negativity here, but lots of knowledge and different views on everything. The human zoo. That's why I keep coming back even though this place sometimes drives me nuts.

    So I want to post a positive story about today:

    This morning I dropped my oldest son off at his karate dojo (black belt, but the gentlest 13 year old boy you will meet). Then I went directly to what is possibly my favorite place on earth at the moment, the outdoor range, where I camped out on the 15 and 25 yard lines.

    65 rounds through the P226 Navy at 15 yards. (First gun I bought, about 2.5 years ago now). Damn, this is a great weapon. Low recoil, great sights, just no drama.

    120 rounds at 25 yards through the Sig 1911. I have a love/hate thing with 1911s, but today it was love. Hit the 6" Shoot-N-See about 80% of the time, which is great for me. I know a lot of you guys are sharpshooters.

    Capped off the range time with 50 rounds through the CZ512 22LR autoloader (a highly under-rated rifle), standing at 25yds. I normally shoot it at 50 standing, but didn't want to pack up and move. Dang, this thing is accurate, despite a fussy trigger.

    Great day at the range.

    BUT THEN, the 13 and 6 year olds took off for birthday parties with Mrs. Cowtown, so I was left with my 9 year old son, looking for something to do.

    Took in Star Wars in 3D and I liked it a lot, mainly because he liked it a lot.

    Like I said, cool story bro. But let's keep all the crap politics and nonsense in perspective, gents. It's about shooting and family. It was a good day.

      Cool! You completely missed the point, but that's OK. Maybe reading it would have helped. This was intended to be a positive story for ya, no more and no less.

        Sounds like a good day. You gotta have priorities and I think spending time with your son is a good one.

              Op makes me feel like a victim micro aggression.

              Libtards are ruining this country.

              Glock are better than 1911's

                I had a similar day on Thursday. Went and put 300rds through the rifles in the morning then took the boy for In-n-Out and a Star Wars matinee. We both have been smiling ever since.

                  Nice!


                  But the "negativity" comment makes me want to leave a snarky comment...but I shall resist.

                  Sorry, not sorry.

                    Post count isn't always an indication of how much time one spends here. Some people listen more than they talk.

                      Great post - enjoyed reading it. Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in all the negative crap in the world. i think it does everyone good to be reminded of what really matters - spending time with your family. Congratulations on your day and on building memories that will stay with your kids for the rest of their lives.
