Took "shorty", "Boomer" and my 1911 out for a shoot, with, my neighbor at the shop next door with his new Cabela's 300 Sharps, he got it and cash in trade for a jet ski. Nice lil spot, super short though, only 120y. But it's 3 mins. away.

Also been making targets again....AR500 gong hung with 3/8" rebar, 5/8" legs. This ones a 12", got others, too. Also whipped up a quick paper stand for zero and load work. it breaks down into nothing in 2 seconds, and, the little feet on the 4x4 spin flush under it for transport.

Got a new winery next door- former Navy Seal makes it, all organic. 16%, out of interesting stuff like Ocotillo Blossoms.

Anywho- busy busy busy...comon October!

Luv yall!!! (even Grampypants)

bloody awesome

Where you been?? Ocotillo blossoms...we used to pull them off and you can squeeze a little honey out of the blossom between your tongue and front tooth. I bet the wine is interesting. Sahuaro cactus fruit is good for jelly, I bet you could make wine with that too, or prickly pear fruit. You makin those targets for sale? Nice lookin work you did on them. Good lookin pair o weenies!


Suz
misses you

Good to hear from ya Stovey, and even better to hear you are busy...means ya shop is workin' and makin' $$$ fer ya mate.

I like the firearms pics mate...especially the Sharps. Yer missin' the cheese and mushrooms of ya hot diggity dawgs mate, but they do look damn fine.

I like ya swingin' plate and ya zeroing target stand mate...you done a real fine job on them...well done buddy.

still alive and well?

Have you been killing the pipes of your central heating system to make targets?
Shooting sausages now? You should try them with horse-radish (not the shooting, just the eating!)

Nice stovey, love that Sharps. Target stands look great too. Cheese and mushrooms on a dog??? Real mustard (not that bright yellow cr@p) and onions, keep it simple.

Mayo, sweet pickle relish and chopped white onions...Mustard and ketchup if you are trying to hide the taste of the dogs.

And a final note...: DAMN!! He is alive...Barns gettin' kinda full...

Fun-n-games all 'round....as usual!!!

Well, we took it out but the 45-70 was really pushing it around, after I raised for shooting off hand (last pic). Usually these are in the weeds for prone. So looks like I found a weakness after raising it. Odd, the .308 stops dead on it, the 45-70 rocks it, hard. It's a 15# plate too. So I studied some other designs. Then put the cross-bar in the press. I also removed the eye-bolts and just looped the rebar through the gas pipe, as the eye bolts were getting wangedled open. Problem solved.
