Brandon checking out the 'new' 8mm mauser

   Brandon at the shooting range

  'Busting clay'

  My Remington .222 and Ruger 10-22

Those Model 700's shoot excellent groups!

Winchester 1400 Semi  A little front heavy but still busts the clay pigeons! Brandon handles this gun quite well and he is just 12.

H&R Model 158. Inexpensive, single shot hinge 12 gauge. This is Brandons birthday present so he can go turkey hunting. I like this because it is so easy to handle and aim.

Bryco 9mm. This is definitely the gun NOT to buy. This will very soon be a trade-in. Fits my hand very well, shoots well but JAMS about every third-fourth round! I think it is the magazines fault as one mag jams worse than the other but not a weapon I want to rely on. VERY sensitive to ammo choice. Currently relying on the old Iver Johnson for home defense.

Side Note: I did get a set of reloading dies for the 9mm Taurus.  I tried a few through the Bryco. I had tried my hand at adjusting the magazine and with the reloads, I only had 2 jams out of about 50-60 rounds. BIG improvement. (Still a piece of junk)

My latest addition: The Taurus PT99SS in 9mm. Very nice shooting gun. Excellent recoil control.

BTW - If you have never shot one, You can't complain about it!

Our last trip to the shooting range

End of a hot day but lots of fun - What do you think of Brandon's 'Hair color from a bottle'

(How did Brandon get so tall? He's 14 and was this tall last year!)
