i turn a ripe old 41 next week and just this weekend fired my first mg. it was a cheap cobray m-11 , but it fit the bill for me. a good friend took the plunge but didn't have the coin to step up all the way to high powered. it ran great for a thousand or so rounds and then broke like too many of them do, it was a snapped selector switch. bitch.

i live in N.H.and get invited over to VT. a couple of times a year.125 acres of private property, plenty of fire power,and lots of drinking/grilling/ and bon firing every night after the shooting.
it was cloudy but the rain was only intermittent. we had a huge ass tarp to keep us dry.

not a huge display, but we ended up ok, about 75 long guns and 12 or so pistolas.brass was spilt by all.

this was a great 3 days. it was also a going away party. the owners' son is heading out for 5 months training as a border patrol agent and then he heads into the thick of it down in arizona.
