A Day on the Range

Four of my grandsons came out to our place in the country for a day of shooting . . . "A Day on the Range".


We went to a neighbor's farm where we set up a target to shoot. At first we set up at about 100 yards and the boys took turns with the .22 cal rifle.













Then we moved up to about 50 feet where they tried their skill with a .22 cal revolver.













Then we moved to about 200 yards for some serious shooting. We got out the 220 Swift with it's 8x-32x power scope. Alex went first . . .













then Sam . . .















then Luke . . .















and finally Kyle . . .















They all shot several times and managed to use up about 150 rounds of .22 cal ammunition and about 50 rounds of 220 Swift ammunition. They were keeping score and Sam was in the lead until almost the end when Kyle had a couple of lucky shots and squeaked into the lead.

But most importantly, I was very proud of all of the boys. They not only had very respectable holes in the targets, but I was especially proud of their proper safe handling of all of the firearms. It was a pleasure to spend "A Day on the Range" with such nice boys.
