plinking
Went to a friends house today. We set in the sun shot rifles and cocked some pork chops over a wood fire. It was great.
We were rolling tin cans with our 45 colt rifles and plinking at some steel plates. Also shot some 22 LR and 22 Mag. Just a fun afternoon. Never thought I would shoot up 45 colt at tin cans, but I can't wait to do it again. I probably sent a hundred 45s down range at the tin cans.

Re: plinking
Great story, Steve. I really like the fact you shot "tin cans", and was wondering if you wrapped any leftover pork chops in "tin foil". Yeah, I know it's an age thing .... to me, tinfoil is just another normal two syllable word. And at a young 62, I probably never even touched real tin foil .... or tin cans. Still, tinfoil, tin can and ice box are words I grew up with and use daily, and we ain't had an "Ice house" in downtown Stumpwater in nearly 50 years

That's one of the reasons I'm in the greencard lottery for a few years now... such a great afternoon is absolutely unthinkable where I live, nearly everything you did is forbidden over here.

Re: plinking
Plinking is a major family activity for my 5 kids, their spouses and the 7 grandkids! I'm grateful that I can supply 90% of the ammo (all handloaded, some 1500 to 2000 rounds)) on these memorable gatherings. My kids are usually to busy with making a living, family, etc to produce enough for their needs and what a grandpa for? Long live the enjoyment of plinking!
