Easter egg & bunny shoot.

[The Goose]

My wife, Donna, and I hooked up with Pilgrim and his wife Cathy for a traditional Easter egg shoot at Middleboro Sportsman Club today. It was Cathy's first time shooting a rifle and Donna's second time. They put Dennis and I to shame. They were both popping eggs out at 50 yards. Dennis' M1 carbine is incredible. What a tack driver. It was really a fun day with some great folks.

Looks like you had fun!

That looks like it was fun ! It was too cold to shoot outdoors up here (For me anyway.) I hope it warms up again soon.

We were just talking about shooting some eggs yesterday after the class.

I wanted to see how they cook when they come out the back...

 

[SKS Ray]

Looks like a good time.

Excellent!! (Or Egg-celent!)

Putting the eggs at 100m separates the men from the boys... errr... or the boys from the really little boys and girls I guess...

Looks like a great way to spend the day!

Dave is gonna be pissed when he sees this. Glorifying bunny destruction!

 

[Lynne]

All right Kathy and Donna!!

 

[Pilgrim]

Many thanks to Steve and Donna for coming up with the idea and inviting us along. As you can see they broughta buncha stuff with them to shoot at. I only supplied some orange clay pigeons. Those colored eggs showed up pretty good even at 50 yards. Mrs Pilgrim really surprised me. I let her shoot my Winchester carbine and she loved it, and was pretty good with it too!

I'm a long way from being a good marksman but that little carbine surprises me every time I use it, it surprised the Goose too ! My wife liked it so much I think I need to ge one from CMP just for her!

We told our kids that we were going hunting for Easter Eggs and we did! I'm not sure which are more evil, the eggs or the pumpkins.

Steve and Donna are great fun folks and we look forward to quite a few more outings with them. Donna (Mrs Goose) asked when we could get together again and suggested Mother's Day. Since we shot Easter eggs on Easter, what could we shoot on Mother's Day. Steve had an answer she didn't like !

It was a great way to spend Easter..........Unconventional but great !


Saturday's class really opened up Kath's attitude towards guns. I brought the carbine, a .22 revolver, a .38 revolver and two 1911's today. She wanted to shoot them all, and did a lot of it. When she got to the .22 she fired it and called it a pop gun ! She fired one or two of the Gooses' stuff too, including Donna's superlight SW637, which she said was a handful !

She and I went thru almost 750 rounds in a couple of hours and she was ready for more.

Lynne, you created a monster !

ps, tonight I told her about me having a C&R and how it would save me money, and her response was, "oh good !"

Thanks Steve and Donna !

That looks like a blast, We should consider doing that as an NES outing around Easter next year.

[Carguy]

I'm afraid to ask what you shot off the rabbit in that last pic!?! 8~)

So were the substances in the Rocks glass and the Cocktail Glass used to color the eggs?

Looks like a good time!

Pilgrim, Kathy was a crack shot on Saturday, you better watch out, you'll come home one day and she'll be at the range without you...

Lets just say that the substances in the glasses sort of "enhanced" the color.

Don't ever go wabbit hunting with Goose if you want any wabbit meat left over.

His favowite wabbit wifle is a .45-70.
