Shooting Saturday



This weekend we went rifle shopping. If you live in the country you need a rifle. Coyotes, wild dogs, and other predators are some of the things you have protect your livestock from. We ended up buying a used a 243 WIN rifle from the local gun store.We needed to practice using this new gun safely and our town has a very nice Conservation shooting range free to the public. They provide the paper targets and 25, 50 and 100 foot earth berm ranges. These were well used ranges with a lot of spent shells to study. With bullets costing over $1.00 each we practiced with discretion. It was cold, overcast and the rifle was very loud! I am glad we wore ear plugs.
