What a GREAT Christmas day

Today, my 13 yo son got the present he asked for, a new smoke pole...CVE Buckhorn, his first muzzleloader. After we finished up at home we went to wifes family's. If. there isn't at least one new firearm introduced to the family, then it is NOT Christmas! This year was exceptional. My son's new CVA, a cousin (15) got a new to him, actually passed down from his grandfather, .22lr rifle. Another cousin (18), a new circuit Judge, and a cousin's fiance, a new Colt LE9620 AR in 5.56!!!! It sounded like a middle eastern celebration for a while at their place! Nothing better than watching and helping the young ones with their new guns, and getting to shoot them. The best part of the day, helping my 9 yo son shoot his first gun......an AR!!! He was in heaven. I got to see my 15 yo step-son, my 13 yo son, and my 9 yo shoot today. I have to say, of everyone there, the 13 yo is by far the best shot. First shot with the Circuit Judge loaded with 45 long colts, hit a solo cup at 40 yards, with iron sights. Then hit the same cup with the AR at 75, again, Iron sights. WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!

I had a "bang-up" time today myself.

BTW- Anyone in your family looking to adopt an old coot? LOL

Great to teach new shooters. I volunteer at a local range to teach the NSSF "First-Shots" program. It is a hoot!

No new guns this year, I am hoping next year though!

I didn't get any new guns for Christmas,or even any used ones, but I've been on a roll this year anyway. Don't want to push my luck wishing for more on Christmas.

I bought myself two new as an early Christmas present. New to me anyway!

Very cool to have such an interest spread across your family!

Families that shoot together stay together. Or so I have been told.

By any chance, was it a red solo cup? ...Toby's gonna have to write another verse to that song!

Sounds like a fantastic day!

Operative words being "shoot together" as opposed to "shoot at each other"...

To the OP, that does sound like a great Christmas Day!

In fact it WAS a red solo cup! I had that same thought! Would have also been a great addition to the video....seeing that cup flip up in the air when hit!
