"The Kid" came out today to help with my new toy, a .308 semi auto rifle. DPMS LR308 for those that know their rifle models. He brought his Glock 9MM and I also got the Mini-14 (.223 semi auto) out too.
We spent more than an hour sighting in the new gun on the bull bag. Its a regular tack driver at 100 yards. Even better than my bolt action .270.
Every time we walked up close to check our shots. we'd each shoot a 1/2 clip of glock 9MM. Used up 200 rounds. I kicked "the kid's" ass here. He needs more practice. He'll be better than me next time - he's just had the gun a week and never really shot a hand gun before.
Then for off hand rifle shooting. I'm very used to the mini-14 and held about a six inch diameter on the target if I shot slowly. More like a foot for rapid fire. "The kid" is considerably better than me on the mini-14. Used up over 100 rounds.
We also shot the DPMS-308 off hand. I am just plain TERRBILE with this heavy gun off hand. Any tips on learning to shoot a heavy rifle? I could tell I quickly tired and couldn't make nice little tight aim circles to shoot on the down stroke (my mini 14 method) We stopped after two boxes of ammo, its a buck a shot.
All in all a very fun day. I haven't spent an entire day with my son for a few years now.
