I am not a Veteran....nor do I play one on TV.
But I thought today could be properly spent at the range, exercising the rights that Veterans have served, fought, killed, and died to preserve and protect.
So I took a good buddy of mine to the range.
We started off with handguns at 7 to 25 yards....paper targets and one steel silhouette ram on a two-foot tall stake.
Quite amusing.
One note......old poltical campaign stickers, especially those dark blue round ones, make really nice instant bullseyes on paper or even on various parts of steel silhouette rams........
Then, it was time to get the SKS and the .308 Enfield Scout rifle out to 100 yards....
Then, more handguns.
And then, to trap range. My friend had both a Beretta AL390 in 20 gauge and a Benelli M-1 in 12 gauge, along with a case of clay birds.
blam blam blam blam.......
Finally, my friend wanted to fulfill a long time fantasy of his....a "menage-a-1911" if you will.
He loaded up two "range toy" 10-round magazines and then put those into two .45 ACP 1911s.
And then, he walked up to within about 7 yards of the target with a fully-loaded 1911 in each hand, and with a lit-cigarette dangling from his lips...blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam blam......
Two-fisted .45 ACP mayhem......I laughed so hard, I got a stitch in my side.
He actually got 18 of the 20 shots onto the target.
A great way to spend an afternoon......
And for all you Vets....Sa-lute!
