Only thing I wanted to do today was hit the range with No.1 and No.2 sons. The plan was, as usual, to start them on the various .22s and progress up to mild centerfire.

Special reveal today of the revamped 10/22 with the Troy chassis to match the Troy AR carbine, plus some work for No.1 with the Heavy Duty.

Alas, heavy rains flooded/mudded out the road to the range. No dice.

Off to the gym and pool with them instead. We'll have fun no matter what, but lack of gunfire takes a bit of flash off the celebration.

Gunfire at the pool is an acceptable alternative. It is a great way to test the expansion of those new hi zoot hollow points.

We have a 12x30" in the back yard. I told Kathryn when the season is over or it devolops a leak it, I am going to use it to catch bullets.
