Default This ain't your daddy's old Mississippi.

I am glad to see something set up for us Mississippi folks.

Just went out shooting with a friend from out of town today. Taught him how to shoot a rifle and he was ok. He had 3 pistols with him that he had never shot so we burned a few bullets.

All in all, a pretty good day.

Lee

I'd rather my own son see me die on my feet as a free man, than watch him go, broken, into slavery.

No, just white dots. I wouldn't shoot around here at night anyway, there are horses about, and the "range" is in the pasture. This is how I developed the habit of policing my brass right away too. Empty casing can cause some damage to a horse's hoof.

I used to have some family in Olive Branch, I believe. Uncle Ralph and Aunt Sue. Trying to remember, but I believe their last name was Swindol.

Trip, don't forget the range report. Glad you got the 1911 you wanted.
