Unfortunately i havent been getting in much fishing this summer. So, the youngest son, wife and myself headed out to the range for a family day of shooting. The goals were to get the boy some more time with .22s, the wife some time with her 9mm and other guns, and my main focus was to instruct and work with the muzzle loader as i am dialing in a different scope i mounted on it.
Heres some pics and a short video.
I would say i am close to where i want to be with this scope...
I would say the kid is getting comfortable w/his Great grand pas/grandpas/dads old Win. 61...
A cool shot of the .357 in action...
The boy had asked a couple days ago if he could try his hand with the 1911. I said sure. His mother was freaking out at the range saying, "No, No, No, its too much for him." Kinda freaked the kid out and almost psyched him out from taking his turn. Well, considering DAD has been the one working with the lad for a couple years now on the shooting safety/marksmanship thing, he overruled the "clucking hen". I was confident the kid could do it. I was just wondering how well. Well to say the kid impressed is an understatement...and this old @$$ doesnt impress easily where shooting sports/marksmanship are concerned.
Heres the video of his first time up w/ the 1911...Ignore!: The form, we started working on proper pistol form in the subsequent volleys.
NOTICE: the circled holes, these are the .45s...pretty dern good for the first time up with a new weapon!!
