Went saucer-hunting last Saturday and kilt a few.

Hunting dinnerware beats not hunting nothing. We've got it set up so's you can sit at this table and throw targets from any of 3 throwers by just hitting a switch. #1 son is driving the bus in this pic. 5 of us (plus one of the Doc's two daughters) shot up 6 cases or so of targets. Thing that tickled me the best was that Doc's 8-year-old daughter who had never shot anything but a BB gun before actually broke 2 targets with a CZ double-barrel 28-gauge. Watching that would have tickled a dawg. Top-of-hill target didn't work out - too far away and target was too slow. We're going to add a 4th thrower to get a dead left-to-right target.
I also shot 50 rounds or so of .45ACP thru a 1911; just so I wouldn't forget how. I swear those Redstitch dueling tree and hostage targets are slicker'n snot on a doorknob! Sorry I didn't get one sooner.
Still got no gravel down. Still have 3 more rifle targets and 1 more pistol target to install. But as much as it's raining, when the sun shines, we want to shoot instead of pour little concrete slabs. Maybe I'll get a chance to burn a few of those PPU .308 rounds if the dang place ain't under water all weekend.
