    Bought the mags before the guns haha! I was in the airport last weekend when the man ban temp lifted. I very slyly made a few purchase while the wife wasn’t looking during our layover. Hope the 9th district court says it’s unconstitutional.

    I also cast cast when I have time. Casting for handgun under 1100fps is pretty simple and fun.

    Love my 17 HMR and ground squirrel season. The latest addition to my home range is a bowling pin, at 100yds, hung from a rope in such a way that you can wind it up by shooting the small end. Then the challenge is seeing how long I can keep it wound. It's a hoot!

    What a diverse list of ways to enjoy firearms! Reading this inspired me to go shoot a .22 today.

    I coach American Legion Junior Shooting Sports. Our 11-17 year old kids shoot 10 meter Olympic air rifle Our post just won a NRA Foundation grant to buy 7 more rifles and a bunch of accessories. This is precision shooting from prone, kneeling, and standing. The black on the targets is literally the size of a quarter with the 10 being a dot the size of a period on sheet of paper.

    We need more people like you Dave. Getting the young ones into the sport is much needed. Air rifles are extremely accurate and a good discipline to learn.

    Watching the Va./Auburn game, and for a Fox at the same time. I normally don't bother the Foxes, but this one pees, and poops all over the deck, barks right outside the house at night, and Pam can't let the chickens out any day, or he will get one. 10 seconds after the game was over, I slipped out, with no.4's in the .410 Youth Stevens I was given when I was 9 years old, and that Fox is no worry any more.

    My 10 yr old grandson wanted to go to the range with me and I didn't want to give him a .45 or 9mm so I bought him a Bersa 22. Dam thing jammed on almost every shot, and he quickly lost interest. Sold that (and took a beating on it) to a guy who said he could fix it and bought a Wather PPK/S and now he loves shooting with me. And he's a pretty good shot. We take the guns and the fishing poles and go to Willow Slough, shoot for a while and then hunt down the bluegills. Makes for a great day.

    Blue gills make for delicious eating Bill. Much tastier then sunfish. My BIL has a walther 22, and it is a great little gun. I didn't have any children, and often wish I had, for the experiences such as yours.
