An afternoon at the range

 A bunch of us went up to the range on Friday afternoon for some fun. Lisa wanted to practice with my S&W .22. That's the gun she has been carrying when she goes out at night to check the sheep.

 Allen wanted to play with my Ruger .41 mag. He tried it with the scope first and thought it was a little hard to hold steady.

 So he tried it without it. That turned out to be even harder for him to hit the target. The extra weight of the scope keeps the muzzle jump down a little bit.

 Jim brought several of their rifles to use, too. Lisa's heavy barrel Winchester is visible on the bench in this picture. They wanted to check it out, too. It hasn't been in active service for a couple of years.

Jim trying to hit a tennis ball. They bounce around when you hit them. After a day on the range, you can't use them for tennis anymore.

More venison

I got another deer this afternoon, this one is a nice 6-pointer. We are going to have jerky!

Venison for the freezer!

We have venison for this year! My good luck charm (Heather) went out today, and we got one. I had 5 of them almost run over me this morning. Something spooked them and they ran towards me full speed. I stood up and they all scattered. Maybe we can get more. Heather wants some jerky.

Jersey Larry comes home

We got Jersey Larry back this morning. He went in at 900 lbs with a hanging weight of 510, much better than I was expecting. The freezer is full again!
