...from a trip to the rifle range to 'stretch out the legs' of my Ruger Mini-14.
If you're not familiar with the size of a Canadian $2 coin, the grouping of these 10 shots was about 2" (the target was shot from 50 yards). That's pretty much 'average' shooting, but I don't get to practise as often as I'd like.
It's a great stress reliever ...I highly recommend it!

Thank you for sharing. Terry, I wouldn't know if my hubby would allow me to practice with firearms.
And yes, I do know what the $2 coin looks like....also known as a toonie. |

| I prefer Black Powder. Larger BOOM and more smoke!!! Nice shooting though. |

I must say that is very impressive shooting. I am an avid gun collector. I am more the pistol type. I love to shoot revolvers, 357 magnum is my favorite caliber. In my opinion, Smith and Wesson makes about the best shooting gun ever made. We go to the gun range every once in a while. I am a pretty good shot myself. I'll save my target next time we go to the range and post it on here. |

Gee... if he was that worried that you might turn on him, he should be more concerned about what you could slip into his dinner... or the heavy blunt objects that you could pull out from beneath your side of the bed after he goes to sleep at night... or whether his car has any brake fluid each morning... or his getting too close to the edge the next time you visit the Grand Canyon... or him tightening the blade on the electric lawn mower while you're anywhere near the plug... or... or...

TERRY TERRY Terry... calm it down... we know that getting out to the shooting range has you buzzed and excited... but you just need to take a deep breath and cool the testosterone a bit...
Breath...
Breath...
breath...

I agree with teclaydon. You pistol-packin` mama types are giving me the shakes.
