Seems like it's been forever since I got away with no time lines , no task list , just firewood , conversion , shooting , shooing kids , and a little rye .
It was a group of us from a "well it shoots BP so it must be a muzzle loader " tee shirts and sneakers rendezvous . It's evolved into more of a "oh what the heck bring whatever you got and pass it around " .
I took the granddaughter this time and she shot a bunch of 22 and 17 HMR . By a bunch I think we shot about 150 rounds of LR and 25-30 HMR .
She shot my Dad's cottontail destroyer Win 67A mostly . He bought it in 1953 with his earnings from pulling ice in an ice house in southern California . The 25 yd 2&3" spinners got to be in a lot of trouble after she figured out the sight picture . We were just shooting up all those partial boxes and loose rounds that seem to pile up in the 5 yr bucket . At 30-35 yd those Super X HP will open a pop can full of water right up .
All of us being grandparent age or very close to it , I think the boys enjoyed watching the cans blow up almost as much as the granddaughter enjoyed blowing them up . At 50&75 yd with a bipod and 12x scope on the 17HMR she had no problem tearing cans in 2-3 pieces .
