Seeing as today is Father's Day, my son William, Pawpaw, and myself went to Garland Public Shooting Range today. I believe I can speak for them both when I say that we had a great time. It's not often that the three of us can get together, much less get together and shoot! Here are some pics of Pawpaw teaching William to shoot his EBR. And a bonus vid.

What a great way to spend fathers day.

I didn't get to see any of my children or grandchildren today.

That is a great father's day outing! And, not to be too big of a booger, but glad to see the barrel wasn't resting on the sandbags by the third picture.

Yes, the sand bags were a constant struggle. After a couple of shots, I removed the top bag. Although it looks like the hand guard is resting on the bag in the 3rd pic, the rifle was really resting more on the 20-round magazine than anything else.

Yesterday was tons of fun. After shooting rifles, we moved over to shoot some of the pistols I brought. William learned to handle a 1911 by shooting my RIA with a Kimber .22LR conversion. After 50 rounds, he shot my Sig P238. After a few round of that, he decided he was ready to try my Kimber.

He did well with the Kimber (Ultra CDP II), but only wanted one round loaded at a time. That was my idea for the first round, but he wanted it that way for the next 3 or 4 rounds he shot.

RottenApple & I tried shooting my 3.5" RIA and neither of us could get it to group. We switched to the Kimber and found it wasn't the shooters.

I don't know what's wrong with that RIA, but I did discover that I can move the muzzle around quite a bit while the slide is fully in battery. I guess I'll be making a phone call later.

RottenApple had fun tearing the center out of the targets with the Kimber. I think he's got the bug now!
