Did some shooting today.

[Chucktshoes]

At my house. No pics or anything. Nothing really special or exotic. Just bragging on the fact that for the first time I got to do some shooting in my own backyard. You can't wipe the grin off my face right now.

[rugerla1]

I don't need pictures to imagine the grin, I've had it before as well. :up: Glad ya got to enjoy the day putting some rounds down range!

[TripleDigitRide]

I'm going to keep dreaming. I plan on finding a similar setting after my daughter graduates next year. I don't care if it's a tiny house, I'm gonna be able to shoot off the back porch.

[VERO1]

Yeah, I'm jealous, the neighbor came over the other day, raising hell, because my son was shooting Coke cans with his pellet gun. The "bullets" we're hitting the side of his house according to him. He only shut up when I showed him my son was shooting in the opposite direction of his house. I asked him not to ever come back again....

Shooting on my own property was near the top of our list of wants when we were looking for our current place. Shooting off my back deck is very nice indeed. I can only get out to about 25 yards this time of year because of undergrowth I can't really remove. 40-50 yards is possible during the Winter. Now I'm thinking of where I can set up to shoot clays  :D

It's a beautiful thing! Congrats! I was like a teenager when we got our place. Laughing out loud when I was shooting the 1911 by the barn after cutting grass. Shooting the 22 pistol as I passed by some targets while cutting grass and so on.
It is absolutely awesome to shoot at the house. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!

I'll tell you, I really look forward to the day that I can shoot on my own land.

OMG!!! I so know what I am doing first thing when I get on the tractor Saturday morning...can't believe I didn't think of that before.

If my neighbor did that and if I didn't live in the city limits I would tell him sorry, i'll tell my son not to fire his "bullet" air gun anymore. Then after he went back into his house I would bump fire a 30 round mag from my MAK 90 into a tree.  :)

NAA, I would just laugh at him and tell him to get a life but it's a fun thought anyway.

 

I got this thing about de-pressurizing old aerosol cans with my Crossman pump with the $10 Tasco scope. "WARNING" Do not shoot one of those "Foam A Fill" cans too close to the house, it makes your siding look like it has pimples.  :doh:

On a slightly related note, I've spent the morning teaching my 4.5 yo daughter how to cast with her new Ninja Turtle fishing pole. These are the mornings that make life worth living, y'all.

No doubt you still have a huge grin on your face huh? I agree, these memories are what it's all about.

No doubt.

Can't help myself. We finally got out of Memphis and into the country. Life is gooooood!

[Hershmeister]

I tested some 8mm loads and blew my target off its weld - but sure was nice to run in make a few round then pop back out and fire them off!

I'm gonna be looking for a similar situation, kinda in your neck of the woods. Gotta get a couple of houses ready to sell first.

[AtomicRooster]

Post address so we can make sure you never shoot alone. :)

In that case, maybe I'll hold off and save my money. [emoji6]

Considering I ain't home all that much, I better not. It might be dangerous for anyone to show up without me being there. The wife is a crack shot and I don't figure on high odds for anyone she don't know making it very far up the drive. :lol:
