Father's Day

Yesterday was Father's Day. I made my dad a holster, and gave it to him last week, but I'll let him tell you about it.

My wife is leaving to visit family next week in Florida, and she's taking my car, because it's a gas-saver, so I'm picking up my dad's motorcycle tonight. it's a Honda Goldwing. Super-gas saver, and about as comfortable as you can get on two wheels.

And next Monday? Why the old man, my brothers and me are going to a 300 yard range.

Heh.

.308 Monday

Monday, my father and I traipsed off to our private range for a little trigger time. I recently updated my .308 with a Choate stock, and I wanted to see how it shot. Results were good, with my group average being around 8/10ths of an inch. Most groups were around 3/4 of an inch. I also brought a Handi-rifle in .308 of my father's that I will probably be hunting with this year. It shoots well, but I will probably take it out a few more times to make sure it's right.


Dad brought two hunting rifles as well, both in .308. He had a Savage and a Remington with him. both gave great cold barrel shots. both are capable of taking game.


It was a great day.
