I went shooting today at the south site with my son and a friend. We set up on the 100yd lane and started shooting. Along came a couple of guys who asked if they could sight in real quick. Long story short, very nice people and here is a picture of my son (9) shooting the new rifle they were sighting in. He took 2 shots and hit his mark each time. Now we know what happens to a bowling pin when hit with a 50 cal.

WOW! I was 17 before I got to shoot my first .50cal.

I'm sure that is an experience he'll be telling all of his friends about for years.

Awesome! I have never had the pleasure of sending a .50 rifle round down range...50AE a few times, but never BMG...

Good for those guys for being so friendly to a fellow shooter.

And good for you for taking your son shooting and giving him an experience he'll remember for the rest of his life.

I don't think he will ever forget it, still smiling ear to ear and trying to decide were the spent cases will be displayed.

He also got to put a mag thru a full-auto ar with silencer. Pretty cool.

Ryan50BMG, (http://www.frontiersportsman.com/calendar.php) thanks for making his day! We will have to come out to Cheyenne Wells to check out your long range shoot.

No such thing as a stranger in the shooting community, just people you haven't met yet.

I thought that was you, then when he mentioned the m16 w/can, I knew that was you ![Coffee]

"awesome! I love the draco pistols! and you can't beat a 10/22."

I always want to bring the 10/22 s. And the Draco is just amazing to shoot controlably.Very happy with it and want another to SBR.

I would take a Draco over my pistol grip 12 ga anyday![Beer]

I think Ryan really enjoys to see the look on your face after shooting one of his toys [Eek2]. I've shot a 50 twice, both times it was preceded by Ryan holding up a monsterous round and asking if I was interested. He's a great friend to the board and I'm glad you and your boy bumped into him.
