... then loosing a few downrange at the range. I took like every single one of my pistols today. And of course, there was a minimum of 2 Mosins making the trip.

Took the kid that mows my lawn, but of course, all he really wanted to fire of all my rifles was my Saiga .223. At least I got the scope on it sighted in today. And whupped his butt with it by outshooting him. I did get him to try the SKS, but I guess it wasn't all tanti-cool.

that sounds like fun , and what a fun thing for the young man - they do tend to lean toward the black rifles dont they ?

i generally try to force at least a couple rounds thru each rifle on them by promising if they try them all we have plenty of ammo for what they like , they need to be exposed to different types to appreciate the history of it all

While we were at the range there was a fellow that was accompanied by 4 teens and a couple maybe just barely a teen.
