Well, I'm done target shooting.

[Noxx]

Just a little snicker, an anecdote for a tuesday morning.

I took the wife to the range yesterday, it's been a while since she's been able to go with me, so we brought all the newer handguns for her to play with, along with some old standbys.

She had a great time tearing up silhouettes, then went on to her *real* favorite thing at the range, punting golf balls around with the .22. I kinda farted around punching targets, mostly I was watching her having fun. After a while I got bored and deviated from my target to take a pop at one of her golf balls (about 50-60yds out at this point) with the older of my 686's. I figured she'd see the dust cloud in her scope and give me a dirty look.


Insert mental image of a golf ball taking a seven-iron ride over the berm here.

She looks at me... looks downrange.... looks at me again, and produces "the eyebrow".

I shrugged, smugly, and declared "victory is mine!", and proceeded to pack up my guns. Can't beat that, might as well quit while I'm ahead.

That gave me a good chuckle

 

[CDignition]

Yer not done. You have to be able to do it all the time... get bizzy,lol..

 

[W.E.G.]

Mind if I play through?

 

[coelacanth]

Rofl. . . .

The visual is priceless! I've gotten the "eyebrow" from my sweetikins a few times and it's always worth the price of admission. Carry on, soldier.

When I first bought my S&W 22S the guy at the gun shop told me that he and his buddies liked to shoot golf balls with one. I went forth and had much fun with mine. The next time I was in the shop I told him I had tried his idea...lots of fun till I got asked to leave the driving range because I was disturbing the other golfers.His boss spewed coffee all over the counter,

A golf course is the willful misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.

I'd say you've just invented a brand new sport.

Gun Golf. On a regulation golf course.

What gun for driving off the tee, what caliber for getting out of the sand...

Haven't figured out putting yet - use a BB gun maybe but still...

I'd play.

Now if someone would just finance the course for us.

 

[AirForceShooter]

Fore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Afs

 

[10X]

Now if I am allowed to do that on the local courses, I will take up golf.

Gun Golf. On a regulation golf course.

This would be the only way I would (or could) play golf.

 

[AndyC]

Can I bring my 45 iron?

 

[never_retreat]

A 45 iron is way to big... But I got a whole set of 9 irons. Some are even the cool composite ones also.

 

[Quickdraw McGraw]

Damn

I stopped golfing after playing a lot for 20 years. Haven't played at all this summer, been too busy reloading and shooting. Guess I better get some balls and tees out and head to the range. Great idea!!!

 

[Billll]

I'll bring the driver:

You can putt with a .22 revolver and Aquila Colibris. You could play mini golf with them, too.
