Shoot Out























We went to Jana's over the week-end had a shoot out and took in a Jazz concert! Paul transported Derrick, Lori and I up the mountain to their favorite private shooting range. Actually it is available on a first come basis.  Paul has all the equipment,  a shooting stand, a table to reload,  cases of ammunition and a nice pick up to transport the whole show! Lori and I were the novices.  It was years ago that I shot a gun but wanted to try it again to test my accuracy and know how in case I wanted to try shooting again.  We started our trip in heavy clouds and 30 minutes later drove above the clouds into a beautiful sunshine day.

We tried a bolt action 22 cal. rifle,  then a automatic 22,  then a 22 revolver before Paul allowed us the fun of an AK 47! This automatic rifle packs a wallop! Both Lori and I decided not to try the 12 gauge semi automatic~! But we both managed to hit the targets and even hit small targets that exploded! What fun! It was a grand experience even with all the mud, the set up and take down.  We're both ready to try again.

We also got to view Brady's first car. . .a Chrysler New Yorker with only 80,000 miles!
