Shooting

Last Saturday, we spent the day with some friends and family shooting a bunch of Neil's dad's guns.

This is one of my mom's favorite guns to shoot, it's the Barrett .50 cal. It is so freaking loud and it nearly knocks you out of the chair (see her feet lifted off the ground!?)

In this one, Stella started shooting the Tommy Gun and it totally pushed her back, so Blake reached up to try to steady her a little more.

Here's Alex shooting the M16

My AMAZING mothers

I can't remember what this one was called, but you better watch out...I'm freaking deadly :)

Dad with the M60

Dawn shooting the AR-15

Me with the Uzi, so fun!

Neil and the MP5

Alex with the AK-47
At the end of the day, we had this really fun competition that had 5 stations.

The first station was the shooting long range (120 yards) with the Barrett. The second station was shooting the M1A. Station 3 was AR 15 shooting at full pop cans about 25 yards away. Station 4 was using MP5 at the wobble target. And station 5 was shooting at the swinging target about 15 yards away with the Glock.

Your score depended both on your speed and your accuracy. My mom was very, very accurate on her shots, but she was the slowest of the whole group! Neil won the competition with Blake coming in 2nd.

Neil starting it all out (he's at station 2 in this pic though).

Blake at Station 2, but he's using the M-1 Garand instead.
Kurt at station 3.
Me at station 4
And Pat at station 5 and he's using a Springfield 45.

This 12 gauge shotgun is cool because it doesn't have the shoulder part, so you just hold it like my dad is.

Blake shooting the HK USP Tactical. Pretty sweet, especially with the silencer on it!

Me with the AR-15, This is Neil's newest gun.

And last but not least, Stella shooting the enormous Browning M2.
