Kids and Guns

I am posting some pictures today of my kids at the range in support of the New Jersey family that had their rights violated because of a facebook picture.  I know the story has made the blog rounds, so I won't go into details, but here is a link to the story in case you want to read about it. Boy with his gun.

These are about two years old, so they were... GASP.... 11 and 9 when these were taken.


I posted some pictures of a recent outing with my now 13 year old shooting here.

They would have a fit with the calibers he was shooting that day!

Day at the Range....

We were able to go to our neighbor's friend's land to shoot.  He has a 100 yard range area and a smaller one set up for handguns.  It was way back in the woods and a wonderful place:


and


We shot my DH's Remington 30-06:



We were shooting at two iron plates and I LOVED it.  There is just something about hearing that "ping" when the target is hit!

Next we got to shoot our neighbor's Sako TRG-22 .308 with a suppressor.  It was wonderful!  Here are the pictures of us shooting it:

First my love:

Then my son:
I really liked how I was able to get the smoke coming from the barrel on this shot!
Here I am shooting this wonderful piece of machinery!

We also put some rounds through our handguns, but I did not get any pictures of those.  I did get to try out my next gun purchase though.  Our neighbor recently bought the Springfield XDs .45 and I got to try it today.  I am in LOVE!  Great grip and no recoil.  I need to start saving now!

In closing here is a video of my son shooting the 30-06 and hitting the target.

Going to shoot today.

It has been too long!
