Got there pretty early on Sunday morning... Had the place pretty much to ourselves.
Just 2 other guys from St. Augustine working on a .300 WinMag and a .270 doing technical adjustments prior to heading out this week for hunting season.
I set up the spotting scope with Brandon (Jingles boy) on my left shooting my Bushmaster M4gery, and Jingles on my right flinging lead at a target out at 100 yards...
As I called out hits to Jingles, Brandon was plugging away with the .223 at a target about 50 yards out and having a good old time. As we were narrowing the hits with the .30-30, Brandon decided to change up and shoot my Mini 14 Ranch...
Now, the M4gery flings casings at a 90 degree angle out and about 60 degrees up... and they go a good distance. The Mini...well... it's a little different.
They go 45 degrees up and about 40 degrees back...
Guess who was heads-down over the spotting scope when the first round went off,
and who now has a .223 circle punched in the flesh over his left eyebrow?
Ouch ouch ouch!
Remember kids...
Always wear eye protection.
