Finally got out on some PDs this weekend, it's been a while.

Private land out near Sterling Colorado.

I don't have any pictures from the first day (Friday), I was too busy shooting.

Took my boys out the second day. Since they need a little help and take my bench and one of my rifles it gave me a chance to snap some pictures.

First area we setup on.

Ryan my youngest son (8) got his first kills this trip. He got around 15 total with his furthest at 115 yards. All with a Marlin 917V that I cut down so he could shoulder it better. Obviously he still has a little issue with the weight of the gun but he gets by.

Kevin my oldest son (11) is quickly turning into a fine shooter. He routinely takes them out to 175 yards with little problem. Also shooting a Marlin 917V.

This one didn't last long.

My best shot of the trip was 345 yards with my CZ527 in 204 Ruger, love that rifle.


On to the carnage. Warning some my find these pictures graphic or disturbing. [Dunno]

Very nice. What are the chances I could find out where you were shooting. I have been looking for a spot to take my .17 and pop some squekies. I wont share the info if you want to keep it quiet.Or maybe I can come along sometime.

Honestly slim to none. I'll put you on the list of people that want to go but that list is mighty long and I don't have the oppotunity to take additional people very often. The area can only handle 4-5 shooters max and I usually go with my buddy and his Dad, the land owner.
