I got invited along with a small get-together, mainly just for fun, kind of an "end of summer" thing. Good hot-dogs (actually brats and reindeer sausage) some even better chili, a whole pile of old bowling balls, and a bucket of FG Pyrodex. :)

Cinematography wasn't great, but I didn't bring a tripod, or the extra GoPros I could have put up front, etc. I was just trying to stay out of the way.

Apparently one other fellow that was supposed to bring a couple other Class III's wasn't able to make it for whatever reason, but I still had a chance to fling a couple magazines through that Uzi. Another fellow brought out a Benelli pump shotgun with a 28" ribbed barrel, and an electric trap launcher. Despite the fact I haven't shot trap literally since I was a teenager, I did what I considered very good, getting maybe a bit more than two-thirds of them.

I'm given to understand that today was the first day that Japanese fellow toward the end of the video, had even been in the same room as a real firearm, let alone shot one. (They started him out on a scoped semiauto .22 LR and then a mild AR build- they didn't just hand him a machine gun and say "go nuts". :)

Overall, had a blast and I hope we can do it again before too long.

2022 Bowling Ball Shoot!

Had a chance to participate in a bit of a get-together, kind of celebrating the end of summer. Hot dogs, potato salad, good hot chili, and of course several buckets of FG Pyrodex. And yes, that's a legit, licensed IMI Uzi submachine gun. He asked if I wanted to shoot it. I said "hell yes!" :) And, for those curious, yes, this is the same fellow- and cannon- from two decades ago: http://www.docsmachine.com/nonPB/mortar.html The location was off the bluff on the South side of Cook Inlet, Alaska, about 15 miles from Kenai. Not the best cinematography, but I was just trying to stay out of the way. :)
