After the safety lecture and "how to" he shot my S&W model 41 (22 cal.) with the red dot. He did pretty good and seemed to enjoy it. A lot, in fact.<br /><br />So I moved him all the way up to my wadder, a 45 ACP 1911 shooting light loads. He was a bit intimidated by the extra noise as I fired it first. And my direction to "grip the shit out of it" put him off a bit but after his very first shot he turned his head to face me and gave the biggest grin I've ever seen.<br /><br />Another convert!<br /><br />(Gotta get me one of them black rifles someday.)Ed Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09332424242231481277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-32665064137204781282010-04-08T23:32:33.804-05:002010-04-08T23:32:33.804-05:00Looks like a great day!

I had a "eureka" moment about a year ago when the coverage by the major gun mags and the stock of the local gun outlets finally ganged up on my addled brain and coupled with the threat of the impending melt-down of the American experiment in democracy, it occurred to me that the AR platform is no longer just for camo-clad bubbas who wannabe warriors. <br /><br />It is now the basis of a modern modular arsenal of a wide range of calibers suitable for anything from plinking and varmints to large N. American game at all ranges. <br /><br />I still love walnut and blued steel, but have found myself divesting of a lot of classic hunting hardware in favor of some tricked out ARs. I'm having a lot more shooting fun too!Ed Rasimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667325554289268659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-42919154628463192292010-04-07T09:10:46.600-05:002010-04-07T09:10:46.600-05:00All in all, it sounds like you had a fun day.
