Near lunch I wanted to go to the range for some strange reason. So I called Steve to see if he want to go. After looking at schedules he said he wanted to go and he asked if he could bring Caleb. Not a problem. I loaded up my long range rifle for Steve and me to shoot and brought two 22lr for Caleb when we got around to shorter ranges.
It was hot and the mirage was pretty bad. I could not hit anything at 300 yards but Steve seemed to have some luck on a prairie dog target. We moved into 15 yards and we set Caleb up to hit a prairie dog. He borrowed the cricket that we got Emily and was able to hit most of the target most of the time. He did very well and was excited. He took the target home to show his Mom and grandparents who happened to get to the house right before he got home.
We also got a chance for Caleb and Steve to watch two guys shoot trap. They were pretty good shots so it was fun to watch.
We packed it in since it was pretty hot. It was a good day at the range and Caleb got to doing his first shooting with his Dad. A memorable moment. Hopefully he will want to do more.
It started raining this afternoon and hailing a bit. Not bad though. But the rain was needed.
I am missing the family and wishing for hugs and kisses.
