The best thing I shot all day!

[Col. Plink]

Hey y'all! Just wanted to share a nice shot I took earlier today. I call it 'Burnished Sky and Brass'.

I'll try to add another or two.

(my friend shooting my Garand)

 

[Col. Plink]

this one's in focus...

Excuse the handguard, the old boy's not refinished for the last time!

That c.1955 Garand doesn't look like much but can really shoot. Got 8-for-8 clay pigeons at 100 yds at one point during the day! (they were not flying, however...)

Your friend should wear eye protection

 

[Col. Plink]

She was, I think she ripped them off out of frustration for the glare looking towards the sun. She should protect those pretty eyes, though...

But yes, I think it's a great likeness, and brought out the color of the winter grass about.

I like the cartiage in the air

 

[jpwilly]

Nice spot to go shooting. There are very very few rifles that shoot as comfortably as an M1-Rifle!

 

[Col. Plink]

Gotta go +1 on that!

I don't know how folks of middle to small stature find it; for me the width makes for an almost perfect fit to the forward hand and the balance is outstanding. With a sling sitting or standing the trigger hand holds none of the weight. What you can see, you can hit.

Where is that range? Looks nice!

Col.
If you had add a little fill flash in the first photo, would have been better, just a little.

I make no claims to know what I'm doing with a camera, let alone someone's phone.

I just thought it was amazing to have caught a case in the air like that!
