Shooting

April 22 - We finally got out to shoot the guns. From siting in the big 7mm mag, to polishing our handgun skills, to just simply having fun making a lot of noise - we had a great time!

Matt showing his style!

Deron not too bad at all!

Prestin deadly accurate!

A cheeky moment is always close by with Prestin!

Out came the mini!

Steve not too bad for an old guy!

Now for some big gun time!

Everyone got to shoot the big gun!

Great day with great guys!
