Went to the range today

[JAYBIRD78]

I went to the range today to try out my .223 hand loads for my Savage 12. I am still working on a final load.

However, while at the bench rest range by myself I saw some brass laying on the concrete. I scored some .223, 9mm and .45ACP. Not a lot but if you leave with more then you came with then that is SUCCESS. So I decided to head further into the property at a few of the other ranges. I parked and low and behold there was a father with his daughter shooting a bolt action .22. I just waved and smiled.

It made me think, my wife and I are expecting our first child. It's a girl. I can't wait to take her to the range. Brought a tear to my eye.

Waiting with anticipation.

...but if you leave with more then you came with then that is SUCCESS.

So true, and especially so with a semi-automatic.

My shooting buddy was my son. He is married and now lives in another state, which is unfortunate for me.

Enjoy the times you spend with your children shooting. It is priceless. My two daughters have gone shooting, but the son was the one that really had a strong interest in it.

Every time he visits me, we hit the range and send a lot of lead downrange.

Guess we better get together soon to go shoot because when your kid is born, we'll never really get the chance!
