Wounded Warrior Blogshoot a great success

A great time was had by one and all as nearly two dozen area bloggers and blogger fans came together to shoot, socialize, and contribute money to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Old NFO, he's got the shirt already...and the hat.

All of the usual suspects were there--Old NFO, Keads, Proud Hillbilly, The Miller, Msgt. B, New Jovian Thunderbolt, Bubblehead Les, Broken Andy, THOTpd, Pedium, The Axe, Morlock, and a number of blogreaders and guests without whom blogs would serve no purpose. I could talk about it for an hour, but pictures speak better than words. (Oh, and by request, there's even a picture of me here.)

There were guns, and lots of ammo.

Small guns and big ones.

There were .45 carbines and .45 pistols present too, like these two belonging to JB Miller. And both are suppressed.

The Usual Suspects..well some of them, anyway.

Proud Hillbilly gives her carbine a workout.

AJ readies his L1A1 Sporter for another go at the Tennerite targets.

Broken Andy fires his Chinese SKS.

Maureen was no slouch with this pistol. She rocked it.

And she had this wicked sweet Winchester 20 gauge double barrel.

Here's New Jovian Thunderbolt, with JB Miller offering helpful suggestions.

As you can see, we had a little of everything there. But then we're all about tolerance and diversity...gunnie style.

Stretch and Bubblehead Les debate shooting technique on the 100-yard line.

And Bubblehead Les shows what a former submariner can do with a subgun.

And Keads was spotting for shooters on the 400-yard line.

Here's Msgt. B shooting the Uzi. Looks like a steely-eyed killer, don't he?
The Mossad just PM'd me, asking for his phone number.

Special thanks to 340 Defense range for making their facility available to us at a reduced rate. The owners and staff are mostly all current or former military and their support for this cause and the use of their great range was fantastic.

We followed up the shoot with a great dinner and good conversation nearby. And we raised a grand total of $1100.00 for Wounded Warriors, and this AFTER we covered the range expenses. Everyone who came out dug deep, and for this, I thank each and every one of you. You're good people. Seriously.

Oh--and yes, I promised you all a picture of me, didn't I? Well here it is
