lunamother Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 you have just left yourself open to an 8 year old standing over you at the crack of dawn saying "is it time yet? is it time yet? is it time yet?" (thank you, Trip) Link to comment

With 22's I can turn off my hearing aids and it's no problem..so again ..good eyes!! Everybody should wear hearing protection AND eye protection ! I never shoot without both... I was gonna get on your case, Trip for letting folks shoot without ear/eye protection! Now, who has the bolt gun with teh Harris bipod & the can on the front end? Just what all is that setup? And did anyone shoot the Mosin? Link to comment
WormGuy Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Trip can tell you about that setup with it being his rifle. Almost everyone shot the Mosin and enjoyed it. John Link to comment
Trip Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hi Vic Yep several ppl I think shot the Mosin, not sure bout the kids..I was gone for a bit.. The rifle you mentioned is mine, it's a Savage Predator comes camoed 223 HB...I had attachments made to switch it from my HBSavage 308 and AR 15..so it fits anything with the front attachment and 308 and smaller... I have a HB sav 30-06 ackley that I may have adapted also..still thinking on that Great combo! the can is from Elite Iron in Bonner MT...awesome set up.. http://www.eliteiron.net/supp.htm Link to comment

It sounds like someone should stop at Lowe's or someplace and get a big contractor size thing of earplugs to bring to the next Mrs. S gathering so there'll be plenty of ear protection for everyone. I know Lowe's has ear plugs in pretty colors in the small packages (I got a 4 pack in purple, pink, orange, and some other color for my next class). Link to comment
babysteps Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Shooter's glasses would be a good idea too... Link to comment

OldMaineBear Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Great photos!!! Trip looked like he was right in his environment. Imparting good shooting skills. Link to comment
WormGuy Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 I've up loaded a 35 second video to YouTube. As soon as it is "processed" (whatever that means), I'll post the link. John Link to comment
WormGuy Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Well, that was quicker than I expected. John Link to comment
WormGuy Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Another one 39 seconds long with Trip explaining the finer point of gathering fire wood. John Link to comment
WormGuy Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 A 42 second one with Jack and Grrrrrrr playing with a toy. I still don't know who Grrrrrrr belongs to or how the name came about. You can hear Steph commenting about them and Trip grunting. John Link to comment
Annarchy Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Playing puppies... how sweet. I love the big boy just watching then leaves with a "what-ever" attitude. Have you ever tried having them chase a laser pointer? Hours of fun. Link to comment
Stephanie Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 If the boys looked like they were moving slowly, they had their reasons. You can ask anyone there, they worked their tails off and was glad to do it! This fire was the very last project of the weekend and their "get up and go - had just about got up and went". They don't take a long time to do anything, hard and eager workers is a better description. Mom just setting the record straight! Link to comment
Necie Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I would like to say that Stephanie's and Granny's sons were absolutely AMAZING. Fine young men. Polite, hard working, eager learners. Very much 'tell me what to do, and show me how to do it' attitudes. When it came time to butcher chickens, the boys jumped right in. Wormie showed them how to cut their necks and let them bleed out. I believe they each did two chickens, and while it was not an 'easy' task to do, they DID it. They jumped right in and helped Westie and I with the plucking and then turned around and helped Granny clean them, removing the entrails and learning what all the 'parts' were. They hauled bucket after bucket of wheat to it's new location...UP a large flight of stairs for Darlene (and might I add...all the while being tortured by Barbie dolls). They moved a whole pile of old boards....and then moved them again (per the princesses request). They helped haul all equipment down to our 'shooting range', and when everyone was done you heard "BOYS!!!" and they helped haul all that stuff back up. There was not a request made of those young men that was not immediately responded to with enthusiasm. They are true, fine young gentlemen and eager students of life. Link to comment
