Humble Pie -- Marine Grandson Shoots Great

[Retired shooter]

HelloAll
Short story .Grandson home on leave from Marines ,trip to range Wed. Cool but tolerable. First stop pistol range, steel silhouettes, 15/ 50 yards. First time to shoot with grandson,( son in law strictly against fireatms). Watched grandson closely for safety, did fine,claims no Marine training with sidearm. Semi auto pistols with red dot, and some with open sites. Damned if the youngin outshot
not only me but my son also. Both of us usually 95% hits % 5 % miss. Have to give him credit 51 year younger eyes and more steady hands, but still hard to admit.

Moved to rifle range. Both son, and grandson did extremely well, proud of both, however grandpa still prevails ,even at 72.

Everyone have a great weekend. Snowing here but several firearms to clean

Have a great weekend. Snowing heavy here they're saying 6/ 8 , I have weapons to clean, will be on tractor opening roads and driveways when it stops.

Sounds like a good time! But win or loose, cherish all the trigger time you can get with those boys

Retired shooter sounds like you enjoyed the weekend. My grandson had no school for a week. Hunters safely course, shot clay birds, pheasant hunting, pistol shooting; I needed a rest today

A great time out shooting, I saw the snow my son sent me a pic as did my brother. Don't miss the weather,

Stay warm and safe.
