Shootin' at the Quincy Gun Range

Sighted in my .22 last week while I was working up in Quincy. Also brought the 12-guage just for fun.

I'm not sure how far away these top targets were, it's hard to walk in paces up the hill- maybe another 50-60 from the 80 pace targets?

This is the best "shot" I could get through the scope. Its an old Redfield 18x with VERY limited eye relief, so sighting through the camera and it at the same time wasn't as easy as I'd hoped.

This is the Target at the end of the day. The lower random shots were from sighting in the scope, the upper cluster represents 60+ rounds. There are many more wild strays that I'd like, but there are also a LOT of shots in the center, which was pretty much obliterated. Also, it was getting very cold out (snowed most that day) so by the end I wasn't as patient as I should have been. These were all shot from the bench, as shown in the first photo. No sand bags or bi-pod assist (or I'd have had a much tighter grouping!).

Post Apocalypse Party



Birthday party extravaganza. I didn't spend as much time decorating the house with this one, so I got to put more time/effort into my costume. The drawing is what I'd planned on it looking like, I think it turned out pretty close.

Deadwood Party!!!





These are a few pics from Em's Deadwood theme party. I turned the back deck into a thoroughfare and we drank whisky all night...it was amazing.
