Springfield Break ~ Gun Range after-action report!
http://www.houstonliberty.com ^ | 5-18-03 | humblegunner

Posted on 05/18/2003 7:43:48 AM PDT by humblegunner

Saturday, May 17th a group of Texas FReepers and family drove
across the state to New Braunfels to attend the Springfield Break
day at the Dietz Gun Range.

The weather was beautiful and we could not have had a better setting
in the Texas hill country for supporting our second ammendment rights
and enjoying the shooting. Those in attendance were:
Bigun, Texas Cowboy and his son, TheMom, RikaStrom, Stevie D 64,
PetroniDE, Eaker, humblegunner and his dad and Dix..
(As well as a couple of other folks whose names I didn't
get because I was focused more on shooting than compiling data for a thread!)

Texas Cowboy did the bulk of the planning for this event
and cooked us all a fine meal, so many thanks to him.

Dix's partner in crime: Fannie Mae the real estate beagle.

Stevie, Eaker & Rika at the pistol range:

And then the rifle range:

There were guns everywhere, even Eeevil assault rifles.

Everyone backed off a bit when Texas Cowboy first fired the .50 caliber.

Even Rika shot the .50, proving it is indeed just a girl's gun!

Some cattle roamed around the range...

Which had no relation at all to what was served afterward.

Whyisa, you ask and you shall received.

Here are some pics from the shoot, and several of the people who shot that .50.

Gunner, thanks for putting up a thread!

You should have seen the looks the cattle gave us when the steaks hit the grill!
We had a great time, you would have loved it.

Gunner, I think they recognized a relative!
They didn't start bawling until I started cooking!

Well, my neighbors kind of frown on me for shooting that thing on Sunday morning, anyway.
They just don't believe me when I tell them those rampaging buffalo will take over the neigborhood if I don't kill 'em!
Buncha damn liberals!!

So glad to see you all having such a great time. Am I looking a bit GREEN with envy? LOL!

I have to tell you, though, that the best news of all was hearing that Dix was there with you. Our Lord is the very best and the power of FReeper prayer is *awesome.*

Have a great Sunday and enjoy basking in the afterglow! :-)

The Dread Boston Salty almost had a sketch when I showed him Fannie's picture - he says she is HOT! We'll definitely be attending the next one!

Darn, you're not kidding. I hope I don't miss any more of these.

If I bring a note from my doctor, can I be forgiven for missing this?

Is Dix using his middle finger on the trigger or am I missing something?

Don't mind me. The only thing that counts is results.

He sure is... I don't know what the deal is with that!
Maybe Dix can explain it.

Hi, Angel!
Our God is truly an AWESOME GOD!!
To see Dix with that shootin' iron in his hand again was a testament to His power and grace!
"Ask and ye shall receive...."
We asked........
