Exercising the 2nd Amendment

With the election around the corner and the future of our constitution as we know it hanging in the balance, we decided to go out and exercise our 2nd amendment rights while we have 'em!! Also, I just felt the need to shoot something! Don't worry - no living creatures were harmed while we were working out the kinks in our trigger fingers! We just like target practice!









We sighted in the guns that are going to be used for bringing down the big elk at the end of the month. Yes, that is Dave's target. He'll need 3 bullets this year - two for sighting in and one for the kill! (If you have any good elk recipes, send them our way!)












We fired off the handguns to make sure we knew how to hit the broadside of a barn.






Notice the lovely accessory Cathi is sporting - yes, those are purple earmuffs. Her wittle ears were ringing from all the shooting!








Nancy was getting the hang of the 22 - don't mess with her now!!





We had a great time and the three Annie Oakleys are ready for anything. We shoot well enough that somebody will know they are getting shot at!!






If you wish to ensure that we can all have days like this, remember to go out and vote!!

There's something powerful about a woman who knows how to use a gun :)

Haha you crack me up Laura. As for that poor barn, do you really ever need a reason to fire a handgun? I love the purple earmuffs, very stylish, do you think they come in navy blue?
