Hayata good to see you today!!! Hope you guys had fun!!!
Glad you guys finally made it! Sorry I missed ya, but we were on a time crunch and had to get back home. I didn't get to interact with the group very much either, mostly because I couldn't stop shooting! Still though, I did get to meet some new faces.You too! Great to see you! We had a BLAST - pardon the pun!
Second shift checking in. Let the boys sleep in some and then finally got on our way this morning. I think it took 15 minutes to pack the van. And then there was this little construction project on I20...
We went through about 600 rounds today. Both boys really loved the AR I won in the charity raffle a couple years back. With the Miculek brake the recoil is almost non-existent. Both (and me) were able to keep the rate of fire to a point that didn't garner any attention.

Got the Swiss 1896/11 on paper at 600 yards. Son #2, on his first shot, scored an "X". You should have heard me holler! Proud papa moment for sure. Rather be lucky than good any day of the week!

Okay, so here's the funny thing. We were using Kentucky windage plus...once I had the range figured from a 100 yard zero...I told my sons to put the horizontal cross hair along the bottom of the lane range designator and then center the vertical cross hair through the center of the target circle. Son #1 listened and got lucky.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Great to see everyone and sorry I missed meeting Snewt1 and any others!
Thanks for the coins mrs alleycat ! Me and the boys LOVE THEM!
@dakota port was kind enough to share his AR10 with son #2.
Would like to have communed more with my ODT brothers and sisters today but today morphed from an ODT event to a Hayata family event. Had a great time with my sons. And for the record this was the first time - since we started six years ago shooting - of letting them do their thing without me hovering over them like a hawk. Safety is all important and they really listened and did what they needed to do as far as safety procedures. Double-proud papa moment!
Here's some more pics...

Son #1 brought his 9mm Hi-Point carbine...I brought the loaded mags and forgot replacement ammo...
And didn't even think about going back to the clubhouse to buy more...

Finally got the Swiss 1896/11 sighted in. First three across the top...she's a keeper! And bound for 600 yards!
This was at 100...luckily got her close a few weeks ago at the last range M&G alleycat put on.

Had a Garand issue. Weird. Never happened before.
Had a great time with family today and that's really what it's all about. Got to see some friends but circumstances didn't allow more interaction but we'll get together next time for sure! Or maybe not. I think by boys are hooked on CMP!
Oh and shout out to range safety personnel at CMP. Great folks for sure.
And yes, my boys swept up all those shell casings and separated the brass from the steel...
Already did that as soon as I came home from church. It's therapeutic.....sort of.
