Last November I had a birthday…When the kids ask me what I want for my birthday I hate to ask for big stuff, but at time they do give me big stuff, especially if the boss tells them I am wanting something…They are great kids and grandkids and give me much more than I deserve. A lot of the time I request Walmart gift cards, so if several of them give me one, shoot a mile, I can end up with a ton of money….Well, long story short, I combined two or three of them last November and bought me a rifle. Then on Sunday I had it out for the first time since my purchase. No. 2 son, No. 2 and No. 3 grandson’s and I went out shooting all our fire arms, We went out to the City of Albuquerque Shooting Range. Man, was that place busy…I had never shot my 12 gauge and does that dang thing kick..We had several guns out there and it was very enjoyable. The guy in the next stall (or what ever you call them) was shooting a cannon. Ear plugs are mandatory, but the shock wave from that thing would almost pick you up. I asked him what he was sighting in….A . 30o mag Weatherby, I think he said, getting ready for Elk season…I asked “which target are you shooting at?” He pointed at a target far, far, away and he was doing pretty good…Must be a bunch of people going hunting for meat this year…They were all doing some serious shooting…One guy said he was going for antelope…I started to tell him about my post that stated there are no antelope in New Mexico….Pronghorns, my friend, they are Pronghorns….but I didn’t…Someone will tell him…
