Took my dad and brother to the North Fork gravel pit on father's day weekend. It was my first father's day ever. Shot more than 1,500 rounds between the three of us. Aside from the redneck burning tires and shooting from their truck while it cirlces the fire, it was a great day shooting. Here at a LOT of pictures.

My brother and hist AR-15

Shell casing looks like it will hit my dad in the face. Forced perspective camera trick.

Yes, Glocks can jam too. I will hunt this pesky problem down and make my new Glock reliable.

I am holding my wife's Colt Mustang Government Pocketlite II .380 ACP handgun (long name, tiny gun) and my newly aquired Glock 24c. VERY big size difference.

36999_130589730294444_100000302545291_215338_496173_n.jpg


Shooting from the kneeling position. Actually pretty comfortable, but didn't do anything for my accuracy.
36999_130589733627777_100000302545291_215339_5550919_n.jpg

My father's second try at shooting my Glock 24c at 20 yards. One flier got away from him. He aimed on his first shot that is dead center in this picture.

My try at 20 yards with my Glock 24c. First time ever shooting left handed. Shot better than ever before. Again, sharpie dot is about 1/2 inch in diameter.

Yes, he is sitting in a chair shooting his AR and smiling like a redneck. Go Navy....
36999_130589776961106_100000302545291_215349_5354491_n.jpg


Dual .45s one freshly empty, the other in recoil.
36999_130589780294439_100000302545291_215350_2328292_n.jpg


More dual wield .45s
36999_130589786961105_100000302545291_215351_6218263_n.jpg


Great shot of a .45 feeding a new round.
36999_130589793627771_100000302545291_215352_5792536_n.jpg


Yes, he is still sitting down. This is how the Navy trains in marksmanship...
36999_130589796961104_100000302545291_215353_2127217_n.jpg


Got a great shot of bother's .45s in recoil with shell casings in the air! Awesome!

That looks like a fun day. Only have one thing to critisize though... Check out the "chicken wing" on your brother as he shoots the rifles... He really needs to work on that. :lol:

What brand AR15 is that anyway?

I had a failure to feed with my brand new Glock 21 (.45 ACP) a few months ago. It was the Wolf ammo that caused it. Since then (no more wolf ammo) no more problems.

Gotcha, it is about 1/2 hr east of sunset exit. On the way to Mt. Baker. If you coming up from south though it might be quicker to to take the back way from Highway 9.

Love the closed eye shooting and the revolver grip on the handguns! ;-) I'm sure I'm the same as far as the blinking goes though! Looked like fun...I want your AK with the holo sight. And Happy 1st Fathers Day!

Yup, I saw it too. I think is has a lot to do with being a rather large person. Cant get cheek weld otherwise. I have the same issue, but don't compensate with my arm.

I was shooting some good Remington UMC and Magtech with my Glock. The nose of the rounds would sometimes dig into the nose of the feed ramp. I suspect it's from the old worn out mags not sitting high and tight in the magwell.
