Day at the range with my son.Pictures

Sighted in the 41 magnum with the new eotech I just got. We also took the 40,45 and the 22. Had a blast, but started out real cold today. By the time we left, it was so warm, we were wearing sweatshirts. 55 degrees and sunny. Of course Chris out shot me all day long.[}:)][^][^] We shot at this new reactive ball I bought as well as paper targets and some bowling pins. The target is one handed shooting with my 41 magnum at 25 yards. I am good to go for fall deer hunting in PA. I couldn't hit anything with the Kimber 45 or M&P 40 today, but did good with my model 41 22lr target pistol. Chris schooled me all day long with my new Kimber and the reactive ball. I was one for eight and he was consistently 7 for eight or 8 for 8. No excuses, he just kicked the old mans *[;)]. Oakie

    My friggen noggin was freezing. I hate hair and have shaved my head since I was 14. I had to grow it for my wedding and shaved it off the day after. As far as ugly is concerned, this is the third body for this PRETTY face[:D][:D][:D] Only weight 190, but had on two sweatshirts and that heavy hunting jacket. No excuses, I got fat over the last year. I was 153 three years ago and ballooned up to 234 after my back replacement surgery. I am stuck at 190 and cannot lose another pound[:(!][:(!][:(!] I feel like a beached whale and am very self conscience bout it. Damn I need to have liposuction. [;)][:(!][xx(]

    Oh for gods sake, I am NOT OFFENDED!!! I have learned to laugh at myself. Life is too darn short to not be able to laugh at ourselves.[:D] I am just terrible conscience about my weight all the time. Going from being average to overweight really bothers me. I just learned to live with not being able to lose anymore. Just glad that people can laugh with me[^] All good and no offense taken at all[;)]

    [^]That is the PROPER handgun grip, it is a handgun, not hands gun. We bullseye shooters use one hand at 50 yards with centerfire and rimfire. Rapid fire is 5 shots in 10 seconds. [:p][^][^][^][^][:D]

    sounds like a great day and it looks like you two had the place to yourselves.
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    Yup, I cannot shoot any handgun with two hands. Besides, I was keeping my nuts warm with the other hand[;)][;)][:D][:D][:D][:D]It was 28 degrees when we got there and started shooting. A lot of the guys were shooting rifles, so Chris and i had the pistol range to ourselves.[:)]
