Good weather had me itching to hit the range today. The last two months my 17 year old son and I have been concentrating on shotgun skills in prep for our hare hunting trip last week. Trip went awesome.
Today I was looking for an excuse to go to the club. This morning after church my son said he had a bunch of homework.....but I was looking for some range time and was getting ready to head out to the club to shoot a couple pistols for about an hour by myself. I was just heading out the door.....and he yelled down to me.....hold up I'll come with you I need a break from the books. So....I went back in and asked what he wanted to bring to the club. He mentioned it's been about 2 years since we shot the 91-30.....which was the first bolt action I ever bought. One thing lead to another when we were packing and ended up bringing all the old guns we hadn't fired In ages. His single 10.....his first handgun......his Henry 22.....his first long gun.......the 91-30 and the m38 all got out of the safe today. We had a blast hitting steel plates at 100 yards like we did back when he was 11 years old. Have to admit I got a bit emotional after we cleaned them all up and I was stacking them all in the back of the safe. Might be awhile till we get all of them out there again.
Time flys people. Enjoy your kids while you can.
