These girls were no help laying sod. But I miss them every day.

 

If they weren't there to hold it down that stuff would've floated right out of the trailer.

Makes me miss Bruno. Pedigree boxer from champion lines. Literally grew up with him...got him when I was 7, didn't lose him till I was 20. This pic he was about 7 years old in 1974-75

That's a full, long life for the breed, but however long we're granted with them it's never enough. Angels.

Photo a day.

Yeah, I’m going to count it as a legal catch. We’re still well outside the spawn, and I’m sure I felt him take a swipe at my bait 

 

Two sighters and four 10 round groups at 75 yards with my 22 lr.

I love shooting steel, except when it's on the clock and other people are watching. Those shots when there's no "clank" after the bang are so loud ?

my daughter has a Henry H001, which sighted-in 3 connected pairs at 50 yd on its new peep sight - the last 2 pairs on bullseye were the same hole.  

 

Here's my .22 field artillery - '85 with Creedmoore sights and variable-aperture eye cup.  

I can hit a dime at 75 yds after two adjustment shots.

the fun thing about shooting .22 with peep sight is 75 yds is the same challenge as a high-powered rifle on a 300-yd range.

  25 years ago, one of my friends (I had 2 at the time ?) made a rifle range behind his house. A half a dozen or so of us would get together on a Sunday afternoon and shoot thumbtacks at 96 yards with .22 rifles, using the benches. You had to use a scope at that range, but you could use any scope you wanted. Everyone put a dollar in the pot, and the one to blow the most thumbtacks through the cardboard backer would take the pot. Then you'd do it all over again. We would spend a very enjoyable afternoon, sometimes doing more B.S.ing than shooting.

   I lost a LOT of dollar bills doing that, but I had a LOT of fun.  ??           jj

Love it.

 

One of the most fun firearms I've ever had the pleasure of firing was my late maternal grandfather's Remington 550-1. I don't think it'd been fired since he died in the early 70s.

 

I wasn't shooting at thumbtacks, but that rifle with tiny iron sights made me look a whole lot more competent behind the trigger than I have any right to.

Very nice. Mine is a bit different.  I take to 300 often and 500 yards occasionally. It'll hold 6 to 8 inches at 400 on a very calm day. At 500 it's really like artillery with the trajectory. I built it because shooting 100 - 120 rounds of 308 Win to practice for comps every Saturday was breaking me even reloading myself. She's a bit heavy with her 1 & 1/16 " barrel that I actually threaded into the action. I glassed the action and worked the trigger down to a safe 3 ounces.  With Aguila 60 grain SSS she's a quieter than an acorn falling in wet leaves.

until it gets to the other end - the thud is louder than the retort.  

And delayed by the subsonic distance.  

 

 

I normally plink from SK magazine cans, because consistent wax composition is important on .22 accuracy, but, occasionally shoot the Aquila 60g just because they're so fun.  (clean and start over on SK)

 

Throw the ball old man!

Wader in my fishing hole. He won't hit a buzzbait.
