Annie Oakley Watch Out!

Laurence's brother Glenn and his wife Glenda have been visiting.
Glenn is very involved in Royal Rangers. Royal Rangers is similiar to Boy Scouts, it is through their church. Glenn has been an instructor for many, many years and is very adept at many things.

Here he is teaching Laurence the art of Tomahawk throwing.
Glenn is very, very good at it!!

After throwing tomahawks we went to the rifle range.

We always shoot black powder.
Here is Glenn testing out one of his many rifles.

Aisling shooting the pistol that she got for her birthday.
She's pretty good with it.

Aisling trying the rifle that Glenn bought for Laurence along the way.
We love that Glenn looks out for us as he hits pawn shops and the like.
This is a 54 Caliber White Mountain Carbine Rifle

I shot the rifle next. This is where my shot hit.
I was pretty proud of myself.

Glenda shooting the pistol.
This is her first time ever shooting black powder.
 She did great!!

Glenda with Laurence's rifle.

Glenda's shot was right next to mine.
Watch out Annie Oakley!!

We had such a good time!!
Love it when Glenn and Glenda come to town!!
We hope they come again soon!!

You Know You're In Montana IF.....

 Aisling got her black powder pistol for her birthday. It's been hard to get out with it because of all the rain. This is the second time we've been able to go to the shooting range.
We have a nice shooting range just out by the lake.
We are using the short range for the pistols. There are two others. We're anxious to go here with Uncle Glenn when he gets here!

Aisling adding the powder to her firing chamber.

Aisling and her dad... he didn't ever hit the target, but Aisling hit it several times.
What a fun time!!
Ooops did I forget to mention that Laurence didn't load his gun.....(devilish grin!)
