We left mum and dads around 1pm. We headed south on Redwood wood, east of Utah Lake. I think we almost ended up back in Spanish Fork from Lehi. After 15 miles of driving we started to see some ranges off to the side of the road. The first couple had alot of people so we kept on driving. Within another 2 miles we found our spot...right off the road. The bank of dirt we decided to shoot at was slightly downhill and 40 to 50 yards away. The boys that were in attendance were Bradley (my boy), Guy (my brother), Rob (Guy's friend), Andrew (our nephew) and Brian (brother-in-law). Michele (my sister) showed up an hour after we got there and dropped off Bryce (Andrew's younger brother). We had quite a few guns all provided by Rob except for Guy's glock. For those that don't know my brother is a police officer in Garner, NC. I don't know all the guns that were there (i forgot) so hopefully Guy adds a comment and reminds me. We had his glock and then a couple of 45's, shotgun, a 22 rifle and 22 handgun and a revolver. The first video i added is of Bradley shooting the 22 handgun. He enjoyed it so much it was hard for him to go back to the bb gun we took for him. He shot this gun about 10 times. He also shot the other 22's. They were really heavy for him but he did take a few shots.
The first 20 minutes everyone seemed timid and did not want to shoot. Honestly after the first time at a shooting range last year with Guy I am still a little afraid of guns. It made a big difference being outside and not really restricted. Once the shooting started no one really wanted to stop. Rob actually shot the least but had plenty of laughs at the expense of the rest of us. Guy, Andrew, Brian, Bryce and myself took at least one shot from each gun. I shot at least 60 rounds from Guys glock. I was very comfortable by the time we were done. We were out there for a couple of hours. We got a little crazy towards the end but were still very ensured safety of all. Rob found a glass bottle and threw it up in the air a couple of times for Guy to shoot at but never connected. There was a tube about 100 yards away and Guy took a few shots at it. It appeared as though he hit it but it never went down. Were going to go to the movies but decided to head back to mum and dad's and wait for the girls. We got back around 4:30 and the girls did not get back until after 6:30. We had a great and safe time.
Guy and the revolver. We had to always yell 'firing' when Rob was close. It was funny when we forgot. Don't know why he did not wear ear plugs. Something about being manly i guess.
