I took mason out shooting mid afternoon today. We left the house at 4pm. Some one was shooting in the upper pit so we used the lower pit. I picked up a used Ruger 77/223, stainless synthetic boatail stock with a scope last weekend from Cabelas for $349 & tax. I got it sighted in and Mason was shooting water bottles from out by the road to the bank. After the water bottles were used up I filled coke cans with water for targets.

He was hitting the cans with his little Savage 22lr Rascle. He shot up a hundred 223 and a hundred 38spl up there today. He also shot fifty 44spl cartridges & a bunch of 22lr.

We picked up two 5 gallon buckets of steel rifle & pistol cases and a bag of plastic bottles.


There wasn't much there for brass, only a big hand full.

This picture explains life to a T. This is why I takemy grandson out shooting every weekend we can get out and make up for the weekends we can't go.
Once all the sand drops and they call your number, it's game over never to be played again
So take your kids, grandkidsn neighbors kids and go shoot when ever you can. Some day your light switch will be turned off for good.

I took my grandson out shooting for his birthday today. He did good shooting coke cans full of water with my 357 GP100. .
then it was shooting left over clay pigeons on the far gravel bank with his 22lr Savage 4ascle and the Ruger single-six.
He finished off over half a box ox #6 shot 410 gauge.
I loaded up some 223 for his AR, hr wanted to ssve them for tomorrow.
I havd to go up & load some 38spl & 357 for tomorrow.

We picked two five gallon buckets of steel rifle & pistol cases todsy and a 1/3 of a feed bag of aluminum cans to recycle
Someone beat us to the brass. I got a small handful. .




After shooting we went to the river so the kids could play in the water. Thay didn't last to long. The water was to cold for them.

We have all three grandkids from their mom. His dad is a huge POS. When he started to shoot I spent a lot of time with him since he was four years old. He can be on his own and shoot what ever is on the table. He hada field day shooting coke cans full of water with the 357 GP100. Tomorrow early morning will.be more 357mag and hIs AR15.

I made a promise to him last year to takehim shooting Every weekend I can. This is the reason I got in to reloading, to support his shooting skills.
He can shoot better the 95% of the guys that we shoot with and i would bet him against any one a dollar a shot, rifle or handgun.
I love him to pieces.

We left the house alittle after 7;30 this morning and just returned home here at 3;45. Nice day up at the pit today. Ed and
Mel arrived around 9 or so. We had the use of the top pit today. Two small groups set up in the lower pitn one on each side. An older couple and a younger couple set up by use in the top pit and shot some steel and had a bunch of bloons set up to shoot.
The weather was perfect for shooting.
When the people in the lower pit left I went down & grabbed the brass the one group left. Almost a gallon of brass, 223, 308, 9mm & 458 Socum.

I did manage to pick up four - 5 gallon buckets of steel rifle & pistol cases and a 3 gallon bucket of garbage shotgun hulls.

I only took 3 pictures today.
But I got a video I will have to break down.
Of the BIANARY TRIGGER GUN.

The Darrington Rodeo is going on this weekend. I was planningon going there this morning then go shooting at the Darrington Pit afterwards. But it didn't happen
Other stuff came up so i had to adapt.
Last nightI reloaded fifty 38spl and fifty 357mag for my grandson for today.
We left the house at 5:00pm. Got up there about 5:45. We shot in the upper pit for an hour of so. I picked up a bucket of shotgun hulls and half a bucket of steel rifle & pistol cases.
We moved to the lower pit to shoot and pick up garbage.




I'm uping the power in the 38spl & 357 for my grandson and he is doing good with it. Hitting his target.
We did pick up three - 5 gallon buckets of shotgun hulls, a five gallon bucket of steel rifle & pistol cases and five & a half pounds of brass.



We are planing on hitting the Darrington Rodeo tomorrow and then take my grandson out shooting afterwards.
I loaded up another fifty - 38spl and another fifty rounds of 357mag for tomorrow.

It's 12:30, time to go to bed
