Some GI JOE on a rainy day.

Couldn't ride with the rain in Houston, so the youngest and I did our best Band of Brothers act. Been a long time since we broke out the militaria bang bangs.

Fun Stuff

[ths61]

Good stuff. I didn't know they made left handed Garands.

That is what we did for my bachelor party. Wifey nixed the strippers so went to a local 1,000 yard range.

Good looking boy Stro. Are you sure he's yours?? Man I am just kidding. That boy is lucky to have a dad that spends time with him and takes him shooting. Nothing better a father and son can do , except maybe ride.

[stroguy]

I'm curious myself, he just got a job delivering milk.

He's a much better rifle shot than me, but he doesn't get along with that Garand after a few clips. I put 8 through it and my shoulder is stinging pretty good.

Couldn't imagine humping it through Europe or the Pacific with one of those beasts.

What are the cross bars for (muzzle flip control and/or elevation shooting) ?

[stroguy]

Just muzzle flip. It's only a flat range with 100yards max. It's so close to the house it's very convenient, but not for long range

[ths61]

Here is my makeshift muzzle flip control. The top of the box canyon is 1,000 yards.

First set of 4 targets to the left are at 75 yards and the ones at the right are at 100 yards, then 200 yards and onward to steels from @ 500 yards to 1,000 yards.

That looks like a good time, too bad it is not local

Road trip to Tims' range? Stopover in Vegas. Yo come eleven.
