MTICop has been down for a 6 day week w/ the Grandkids. Daughter in Law could not come due to no more vacation after all the Military retirement festivities. We made 2 range trips. One was the 3 generations on Thursday all afternoon. We wanted to go Sat morning but rained til nearly noon & the family gathering was that day.
Monday was bright & pretty. Mom took off work & we loaded up & 4 generations of shooters hit the range about 8:00. Home a little after 2:00 & had the clean up to do. Hot family fun. I will cherish the pics & memories of Monday for life. Hope you enjoy them too.

Little Cop under the watchful eye of Dad just visible at the right. Shooting plates at 30yds his 1st time on a plate rack. He quickly put away the 6x8 figures & went to the 3X5s. I have 3 that are 2"high by 3"long & he really liked them.


LT & the Cop after the plate rack.


Mom likes the plate rack too. She will be 78 in 3 more days & still hits what she shoots at. She is another one that gives the phrase "shoots like a girl" a very challenging meaning. Baretta PX4 Storm in this pic. Carry gun is a Sig 232.


LittleCop moving & engaging the BGs under the watchful eye of Dad. Weapon is a Walther .22 & he is holding the 8 ring on a standard B-27 qualifyong target while moving & shooting. This is a 10 yrd line & at the end he takes down a small popper & one plate. Guess you can tell Papa is prowd. Empty home made plate racks in the background.



Wrapped the day up w/ the AR at 45yds. (couldnot get 50 w/o changing ranges). 20 rds & all in the 10 ring. Dad was a good Drill Instructor & does a great job w/ son.


Home & all are clean now. 4 generations of shooters on the line.

Hey LT, how come all of their targets are better than yours??

Great photos there my friend. It is wonderful you guys can spend the quality time like that. Life is too precious and short to miss these types of opportunities with family. Glad you got to have this one!

All their targets are better than mine 'cause I taught'em to shoot. They learned well. You know the saying. Them that can, do. Them that cant.......teach.

Now that is just awsome.

Cause 2 of them are LEFTIES and the other one is a LADY!
Both of those being signs of high intelligence and superior shooting ability!

But, good teaching helps too. Ya dun good, LT!

Looks like a lot of fun!

I see "little cop" is a southpaw just like dad.


I noticed you have enough firewood for the next 3 years too!

Glad y'all are passing along a family tradition.

Nice to see everyone has their fingers out of the trigger well, Someone is a good teacher. Can I join your family?

Yes flint, they both come from the Port Side. Daddy was too. His Mom, 2 of Dad's brothers & one sister. Son in law is. I really catch it when the family is together.

Yes sir if you get cold come visit.

Thank you daltex1, I teach gun safety as the base line then gun courteosy too.

Hmmm.......that Marlin .22 sure looks familiar.

Glad to see it being used to put a smile on a young shooter's face again!

Great photos and an outstanding post LT.

Thanks for the wink sir. I sent it on to San Antonio w/ LittleCop. Just seemed to fit him better than me.
Every responsible young man needs his own rifle.
