Hit the local public range today with our Sportster trio:

 
We followed the rules... 8) ...

 
A beautiful day in southern Michigan, had the range to ourselves:

 
In the heart of morel country, we were too busy plinking to look for any:

 
Had a great time shooting with son Greg before he starts his summer job:

 
Thanks for looking!

Sorry if the pics slow things down... ::) ...The top one is Greg's, given to him in 1999 as his 8'th birthday present, the youth stock since replaced by an adult version. Even still in college, this one always goes shooting with him, and has introduced several non-shooting people to the joys of .22 plinking. The bottom one was also purchased in 1999 as a .22LR, since reamed to .22WMR and has been a solid woodchuck gitter for several years. Also have the .17HMR barrel, which seldom gets used, too heavy to lug around. The middle one was purchased over the winter off the used gun rack, a 2005 model that looks like new, and is proving to be as accurate and fun as the other two. Simple to operate, crow-bar tough, and decent accuracy...what more could you ask for in a .22 plinker... 8) ...Scott B.

Nice pics!  Glad you had a great day.  I'm just biding time for squirrel season to get here, so I can get back out and shoot critters with the Sportster!  ;D
