2 weekends ago I hosted a get together from a shooting forum that I post on occasionally. It was the first time this year that I stopped to take a breath. 9 guys from as far away as NH made the drive (nobody other then myself and my nephew even resided in Indiana). One guy brought along his 7 year old son, and we had to constantly be on the watch for him going to the pond. He'e rather fish than shoot. They live in NC and after seeing my pond, building one has moved up on his "to do" list. grin I pointed him here for tips and information. Guys started rolling in on Thursday and the last one left on Tuesday.

The little one and another guy caught enough fish from the pond to feed everyone one night. The fish went from flopping to the oil within 1/2 hr. I picked up some locally grown sweetcorn and a dzn. ears didn't last long.




We went to the shooting range that I belong to on Saturday. The say started out with light rain, but it cleared up nicely. The wind was a bear that day. The furthest target is set up right in front of the trees all the way out there:


Here's a picture from the 1,000 yd target back to the shooting house. Unless you blow up the pic, you can't see the shooting house. (it's that black smudge in front of the trees way back there)



It wasn't planned, but we had the whole range to ourselves for the whole day. Here's some of the guys at the shooting benches:


It was a lot of work, but it felt good to take a break and enjoy good company for a weekend.
