A fishing trip

Aside from shooting, I love me some fishing. My Dad and I would go out all the time in our old boat. We would go to East Canyon reservoir and troll all the time.

So my dad has been talking about getting another boat for years, he finally bought a new fishing boat and we took it out and had a great time.

A few new toys

So this past few months I have picked ups a few new toys

I bought a Ruger SR-22 in August to replace the Walther P22 that I sold. In the current day of dealing with the hassle of finding 22 ammo I needed a pistol that was more reliable, the P22 would shoot the CCI Stingers fine at 1640 FPS but I haven't seen a box of Stingers in a year and a half.

The SR-22 has shot any ammo that I have put thru it, Federal bulk and Remington gold tip are all that I have right now.

I also picked up a FN-FNS 40 pistol, I sold my Glock 22 a few years ago and needed to replace it. I looked and tested and held watched everything I could find and I think the FNS-40 is the best pistol for me. It came with 3 - 14 round magazines Its completely ambidextrous and it didn't break the bank.  Its fun to shoot other then finding a holster for it I am in love.

I also went and got a Bushmaster Carbon 15, I have always wanted a AR and now I have one. Here is a picture of these guns including the Walther PK380.

Still alive

So as a family man and a lover of guns it has been a busy 6 months. I have wanted to write more and more about my toys and adventures. Its been over a year sense my last post and I am shamed.

I will write more and post more about my adventures.

So my family has a small plot of land near Fish lake. My Dad, good friend Quinn and I took a trip down last year in the hopes of shooting some stuff. Killing was the game and ground squirrels was the game

My Dad took us to Handcock Flat,  where last year he said " the ground was moving". We didn't see a thing. But on the road back to camp I uses Quinn's AR to take the insides of this guy out.

It was a nice trip it would have been great to have killed a few more of these little vermin. 

Ham Shoot

So the boys and I went out to the Bountiful Lyons club Ham shoot.  We had a good time. I took my fathers Winchester model 97 and I did pretty good.  I won two rounds out of the three we shot. I shot 12 clays in a row.

Shooting fun

So Christmas had come and gone. I haven't had much time at the range now that winter hours are in effect and its a strange time in this country after the Sandy Hook Shooting.  I won't go into my feeling on that other then to say, that if you take the guns away from the reasonable people only the criminals will have them. I never really wanted a AR-15 anyway.

My son did get his fist gun this Christmas and it was in fact a Red Ryder BB gun. It's a pretty sweet little gun. It's still a little too big for him but I look forward to teaching him to respect and love firearms.  My Daughter also got her first bow. we haven't shot that yet but when it warms up we will get to it.

 It was a great year. --- JMK

Hunting weekend,

Into the wild we went. My five year old and my friend from work met my Dad down at our family property outside of Fish lake this past weekend. We got there late Thursday night ready to go up the mountain on horse back the next morning. We didn't expect it to start raining and snowing the whole day.  We never made it up the mountain that weekend but we had a great time.  We did some fishing and ATV riding shot the BB gun and the P22 a bit.  I think in January I am going to plan a Coyote hunting trip. Should be a good time to call the buggers in and get one.

Movie guns

Holy crap I love guns!  But I also love movies, Guess what? I love movies with guns in them!  So the last film I saw was Looper. They had some cool Hollywood guns. The fake shotgun and the Gat. I know that the Gat is a real pistol in the 45-70 cal.  I love this crap,  fake guns are as cool as real ones.

When I think about the movies from my childhood I remember the gun more then the plot. Remember Predator? Predator was a good movie but the guns were amazing. I could care less about the alien show me more mini gun!  Next time you watch a flick look at the guns.  I do.
