Ammo count showed I was heavy on slugs. Darn it!!! I'm gonna have to go do some blastin tomorrow...
Maybe I'll play around with some scopes and see if I can squeeze off a nice 2 or 3 inch group at 100 with the M4 and 10 1600fps slugs... I'm feeling ambitious...
Things have been pretty crazy around my place for a while. Overtime falling out of the woodwork with 3:00am wake-ups and both sons in football and not even hitting the sack till 9:30 or which'll tend to make me a little irritable with no patience for my slow internet.
My 10 year old's team is undefeated with 5-0 and my 7 year old's team is now 3-1-1 with a nice 20-0 victory today. :thumbs: :thumbs:
Gonna finally take a "Dad's Day" tomorrow since I turned 50 last week and haven't done a thing for myself yet other than pick up an immaculate, Black, 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi Sport 4dr 4X4 with a nice $500 buck a month nut. Shooting in the morning and then another football game for my 10 yo in the afternoon.
Maybe I'll bring a few water jugs with me tomorrow. Those Dupo 28 slugs blow up a gallon jug of water like you guys wouldn't believe... :laugh:
Hope you are all doing well. I'll be back on a better schedule in about a month...

Yea. I definitely love watching my boys kick ass out there. I even play the theme from Highlander (Princes of the Universe) for em as I get them ready to go - helping with pads, belts, making sure the cleats are tied just right and all - ya know, Dad stuff with a "psych em up BIG time" twist to it.
I've been blessed with 2 VERY hard-assed sons. Even though it's their first year, they are both on 1st string offense AND defense and playing against kids with anywhere from 2 to 5 years of experience on them. My 10yo's league tops at 11 years old but most of them have been playing since they were 6 and my 7 year old's league tops at 9 years old and most of those kids have been playing since they were 6 as well so making 1st string on EITHER offense or defense would have been amazing but making both, well - that's all on just sheer toughness.
One thing I've noticed that bugs me though is how parents will be MAD at their kids if they don't do something right. That bothers me. No one will EVER hear me shouting angrily at my boys about their performances in public OR at home and it just makes me think of how parents get all confused over raising kids.
Threatening your son because they didn't catch a pass is CRAZY and I've heard fathers SCREAMING at their kids out on the field because of stuff like that.
They make a bad play or mess up a little, as far as I'm concerned, you just encourage them to make up for it next time. I also don't tell them to make ME proud when they get on the field. We kneel down, say a prayer of thanks, for strength, no injuries and that they will make THEMSELVES proud as they fight. Then we all say Amen together and in one of them will go for their game or both into their practice.
I'm so blessed with such a wife and sons.
Well guys, thanks for the kind words and I'm getting things together for some fun with the M4 today.
Gonna be leaving the 10er put away for now - trying to conserve some ammo for a while and it's dialed right in nice right now so it can get a little rest this trip. Got some other toys goin too but ya know, can't go posting EVERYTHING I have on the internet...
