Bringing in the Fourth with a bang

lambertiana · Jul 4, 2008

Or a lot of bangs. I took my sons and two grandsons shooting this morning. Sorry, no pics of the grandsons - I have a strict policy about posting pictures of other people's small children onlline. I don't have a problem with posting pictures of my sons. As you can see, they can take care of themselves just fine. The sad thing is that the grandsons can't tell their mother about it, or she won't let them come and visit any more. She has an irrational fear of guns and is trying to brainwash them. Fortunately our son likes guns and counterbalances her propaganda.

shooting is allways a great amount of fun, expecially when you get family out to do it with you. The first time I took my girlfriend shooting she loved it.

That's cool, I respect that. I wish more people were that conscientious.

Eye's CLOSED

Needs to keep his focus (EYEBALLZ) down range, and to not anticipate the discharge... Or so I've heard from someone a while ago whom I can't remember now and who I've heard was from some forum like this one.

They should have that here, in the England bit that's left not the Great Britistan bit. We've abandoned hope for them. Alas.

Great pics. Shooting with my dad and grandpa was some of the most fun I've had!

Great stuff, I've had my boy out shooting our .22 Chipmunk for the first time recently...

I noticed that, too, and my youngest son was caught on film doing the same thing. Of course, in that particular picture, he was shooting a .45 point blank into an old burned out cadillac, so it may have been a subconscious effort to protect his eyes. He usually wears his safety glasses when shooting, and wasn't doing that yesterday. I'm going to have to have a talk with them. They are great shots, which is why I never suspected that this was going on. My youngest son just finished participating in a skeet competition, and (at age 16) outdid the four adults on his team. He must be doing something right.
