On Saturday, we took the kids out of the gun range to shoot our new guns. Darwin got a little 22 (the Cricket) for Christmas, and I bought him a Rugar 10/22 two weeks ago. He hadn't been able to go out shooting yet, so we decided to take the kids and all go shooting together. We had so much fun. None of the kids had ever shot a gun before, and I haven't been shooting since I was in high school. We stayed out for 2 1/2 hours and put nearly 100 rounds through the Cricket, and about the same through the 10/22. We also shot the 243, but maybe only 10 or 15 times...and London and Isaiah did not shoot that one...it would have knocked them over! =) There was also a cowboy shooting contest going on at the other shelter. It was really awesome, and these first three pictures are of London and Isaiah handling a Colt 45, and then watching the cowboys shoot. Darwin, Brooklin and I all made a bullseye...mine was on my 3rd shot with the 10/22! =) Don't mess with me! HA! There is also video after the pictures of each of us shooting.
Just for the sake of saying it...all of us had earplugs in and safty glasses on the entire time...safety first! =)

My bullseye just after it happened
We shot so many times, we shot the stick in half that was holding the box up!
Darwin went out to fix it.

London's turn with the Cricket
Isaiah just wanted to pull the trigger...Darwin had to keep taking his fingers off the trigger so he could help him aim. The next time he got a turn, we made him count to 5 before firing.

I'm cringing...I have a thing with Guns, Matt wishes he could take Lochlan out to shoot, but at what point I let him I don't know. Fun pictures though
Remind me never to mess with your family! What a fun family adventure. Can't say I've ever shot a gun before, but it looks like fun. The kids look like they had a great time.
