    Great day at the range

    My 13 and 9 year-olds and I spent a great day at the range together on Saturday. We shot a Remington 514, an AR, and a Steyr M40. Another shooter let the kids shoot his .17HMR and his .50 blackpowder.

    The 9 year-old shot mostly the small caliber stuff, although he gave the AR a shot. The 13 year-old's favorite was the blackpowder, lots of smoke and recoil.

        Looks so fun. I can't wait till my kids get a little older. I will definitely be doing this in a few years.

        Great job dad! Spending time with your children means so much to them. They will always remember times like this. The love of a father should not be underestimated.

        Anyway, good example for me to follow.

            my dad loves guns but wishes I'd invest some of my money elsewhere. I'm constantly getting the "this costed how much??
            Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
            Let my aim be true and my hand faster
            than those who would seek to destroy me.
            Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
            Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
            And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die in an empty pile of brass.

              Yeah, use some of that money to get a "man" bike instead.

                Your sons did some nice shooting, take them out one more time and they will do better than you...

                    Glad to see you got your boys out there shooting. I can't wait for my little one to get big enough to go out with me.
