Good times! Every Thanksgiving we take the kids to my wife's grandfather's hunting camp. We have so much fun shooting (double barrel .410, replica 1851 Navy Colt, .22 Winchester) that my wife has to make sure that we don't shoot up all of the paper plates before mealtime! (it's happened evil: ) My kids love always have a ball (two girls - 16 and 12).

Damn I sucked at shooting. I didn't hit a single clay pidgeon in about 20 shots.

because I'm in the cadets, I get to fire 5.56s (SA-80, L98, LSW), and if I go on a special weapons course in the summer, I'll be able to fire loads, like Steyr AUG, G36, M16, GPMG. But unfortunately we don't fire live rounds often.

We had a supressed 10/22 that was deadon and dead quiet. We also had a very nice AK47, rusian made, sytheticstock that was dead on at 120 yrds with iron sites. We were picking off clay pidgeons that we set up on the backstop with relative ease. It made a very satisfying sound. We also had a full auto (class3) AC5.53 (I think thats what it was, maybe a AC5.57, please excuse my ignorance). Very cool. Could be set to single shot, 3 round burst or full auto. The ROF was kind of low, and it bucked (climbed) like crazy compared to some smgs I have shot but it was still very fun.

Anyway, I just love shooting and thought I would share.
Lets just hope you never become a postal worker!
