Molly Wins!

Congrats to Molly who won the Ladies match at the May 17th Dayton Glock GSSF Match.

She shot pretty well, straight up factory Glock G34 and only her 2nd GSSF Match.  

Bring forth the prizes.

Oh and Claudine did well too, so did Maria who shot her first ever glock match and had only been ‘checked’ out on the 9mm Glock that morning on our range.   She’s going to do well in the future.

Once again I had a horrible time with my Unlimited gun (Ammo Case Check FAIL)

Sorry no photos at this time.   I hope to scrounge some up later.

Matthew and his Remington Model 6

Matthew was given a vintage Remington Model 6 by a good friend of the family, who clearly needs a grandson ;).

Dave rescued this gun, when he picked it up it was in pieces.  He reworked the stock and had another buddy of ours sandblast it and paint it.  

The Remington Model 6 is a great ‘small’, child sized 22 rifle.  Single shot, rolling block.   You can read more about it here.

Saturday was the first opportunity, since he received it to shoot it.

We printed some targets and took it, Matthew and a box of 22LR out to the range.

Matthew shot surprisingly well.   Lucky?  Maybe.   For the most part he was within 3 inches of the bull at 15 yards, on paper all day.   Not bad for a 5 1/2 year old. 

He was stoked.

We took some photos of Maggie on Saturday.   Sort of Senior photos phase 1.

She’s all grown up and stuff.

River: Rest In Peace

Yesterday, April 16th, 2013 we laid our Missouri Fox Trotter to rest.  “Red” River was an awesome horse.  Originally purchased to be a pasture pall for Cisco.  He was gentle and smart and fun to ride, except for that one day he decided he didn’t want to be ridden.

Like Cisco he ended up with eye issues, unlike Cisco they couldn’t be overcome.   In the end they were painful enough that his quality of life was beginning to suffer so we had to make the decision to let him go.

River, you will be missed.
