Savage .17HMR vs. Watermelon

After two weeks of not shooting any guns, my trigger finger gets a little twitchy. We headed out to my father-in-laws farm to blast off a few gofers, and I wanted to see what the .17 did to a watermelon. For such a small round, it packs some serious punch.

Cinco de Mayo

Fun day today with some of the guys I work with. We're all kinda gun nuts and thought it'd be fun to all get together and shoot stuff. 6 of us, 9 guns and 1,300 rounds makes for a good time.

For the rifles we shot wax candles, and the shotguns we had clay pigeons. We also chopped down some dead trees with our guns. All kinds of redneck:)

It was cold and rainy this morning, and it's getting worse as the day goes on. We've got about 2 inches of wet snow this afternoon. We usually celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a big feast of fish tacos. Tonight however we're just making some comfort food: variations of the grilled cheese sandwich. Nice when it's snowing outside.
