A little bit of fishing...

My Bride had another brother in town this weekend.

If you recall, I posted pictures last week from a trip to the range with her youngest brother.

The brother that was here this weekend brought his Bride and two little boys. My Bride decided we needed to treat them to a little fishing. We stocked our pond two springs ago and we have only fished it once prior to this weekend. Both occasions were catch and release. The pond is part of my food stores for the revolution or zombie apocolypse, whichever comes first.

Here is a sample of what we were catching. If the Brother-in-Law sends me his pictures I will try to post them too.

These are ome nice sized fish. We caught 8 or 10 of these and then a bunch of Blue Gill. It was fun for the little guys. And how about that shirt? One of my favorites. I wear it when ever I can, especially if there will be democrats around...

Range Day April 28, 2011

My Bride's youngest brother is in town this week. He wanted to go do a little shooting while he was here. I took him out this morning.

It was a beautiful day and the shooting was exceptional.

We started out with the Hi-Point Carbine. We were shooting it at 50 yards. As usual it was a hell of a lot of fun to shoot. The Brother-In-Law enjoyed it a lot.

After 100 rounds of 9mm, we moved over to the 100 yard range to enjoy the Olympic Arms AR-15. We fired 60 or so rounds.

We moved on the the Mosin Nagant M44 Carbine next. I think we fired about 25 rounds through it. That is enough to get used to the recoil but not enough to kick your ass.

After this, we moved over to the shotgun range for a little light trap shooting. Big Mullet and his son joined us. We were having such a good time I forgot to take any pictures. We were shooting my Mossberg 500, my Mossberg 590A1 and Big Mullet's Mossberg 590A1. My Brother-in-Law turned out to be pretty handy with a shotgun.

As an added treat, there were several law enforcement folks at their range, which is next to the shotgun range. They were firing full auto M4 Carbines and a few other goodies like an MP5. But as we were getting ready to leave, they asked us if we would like to come watch the sniper guy fire his Barrett .50. What do you think we said to that? Umm, we said Hell Yes! It was an awesome sight. The concussion of the first shot set off the alarm in one of the police vehicles. It was sweet...
