Shooting , Grilling and Winning!

Grandson is here for the weekend.   He was so excited that he has improved his conduct at school.  Papa Bear decided he had done well enough that he would teach him to shoot the 22 Crickett he bought for him last month.

Grandson is leaving to go to California with his Mom for spring break in less than two weeks and won't be here for Papa Bears birthday so  I decided to give Papa Bear one of his birthday presents early.  After reading Duke's review of the Grizzly Target I ordered one for Papa Bear's birthday and gave it to him yesterday.  Papa Bear and Grandson were thrilled to get the Grizzly Target to practice with.  I decided that I would spend the afternoon grilling and give them some men time together.

When I saw the pictures I asked Grandson why he shot left handed as he is right handed?  He said it felt better that way.  When Grandson saw the pictures he said, "I look cute with my rifle, right?'  Do you think he may be a little conceited?...bahahaha



That little spot in the red is one of Grandson's hit with the 22.  Guess Papa Bear is a good instructor even if he did let him shoot left handed! 

While the fellows were busy hitting Grizzly's and water filled pop bottles, I grilled 10 pounds of chicken, 20 Bratwurst, 5 Italian sausages, 3 packages of wieners, a bag of red hot links and ham steaks.  Most all of this went to the freezer so we can microwave the meat as needed.

When I got through grilling and bagging the meat for the freezer I sat down at the computer and found I had won Sandy's, of Oklahoma Transient, drawing for the Realtree vest.  Papa Bear will have another birthday present!   What a great weekend!

The weather is warming up nicely and the Marine is just about over his bout with bronchitis so we will be putting together our kite to fly real soon.  We get a kite every year and have lots of fun until a power line or tree eats it.   This year the Marine got one that is an attack helicopter.  I'll post pictures when we "Go Fly a Kite!"

Hope everyone has a great week!

    The boy may have a dominant left eye. If so, don't ever let him shoot a right-hand semi-auto.

      GS... I did not think of that...I wonder if Papa Bear did? One of Grandson's eyes is smaller than the other. He has great vision but I wonder if that may have something to do with it?

    As Gorges said, he sounds as if he has a dominant left eye, as do I. The pictures are cute.
    Happy Birthday Papa Bear.

    Nice! that Cricket looks just like the one NW has. I love those little guns. I did a review on them about a year ago. Good one to get kids started off with. Plus they offer lots of accessories with them. Next is to get one for ND. He wants a camo one.

      I remember your mentioning the Crickett before. Grandson is loving his. The only camo they had was pink when Papa Bear bought this one. I don't think Grandson would have like that although on some of the commercials he watches on TV he says girls get some of the really cool toys...bahahaha
