On New Year's Eve we went down to the family hunting cabin to do some target practice with friends. Mr Chiots wants to do this every month so he's ready for deer season this year. He's hoping to have 3 deer in the freezer after 2010 hunting season.
A young boy takes aim at a desert shooting range in 1971, learning patience and focus under the open sky—when childhood meant hands-on lessons and dusty summer afternoons.

I took my oldest child, and only daughter, to the shooting range today. She did well, and learned quickly. I think the time in our back yard, with the BB gun has really helped ease her into it. The ideas of breathing slowly, sight picture, and some of the basics of firearm safety had already been learned. So, she was ready to do well today.
Linlin fires a Ruger SR-22 at some paper at a makeshift range near Matt's cottage.
the SR-22 is semiautomatic and fires .22-cal Long Rifle rounds. Matt's has a collapsible stock, barrel shroud, flash hider, and red dot sight. it was fairly easy to learn how to use, and I was very impressed with its accuracy.
On farm out buildings, Winscombe.
Looks like it might've been used for target practice at some point?!
Sad way to treat this marker that was probably there when the original US 6 was built way before I-70 passed through.

Aberlady bay. There are 2 miniature XT-class subs here, which were lashed to this concrete tank trap and used for target practice for aerial attack. They become evident at low tide.
There are thousands of these concrete blocks all over the East Coast of Scotland, to deter an invasion from the sea. These traps were the anchor point for the two submarines.
