Nice Pics! I know I never forgot my first day! This could very well be one of his fondest memories of you!
Just wish I had a .50 to shoot when I was his age!

Did he ask you 'when we going shooting again' yet?

That's not a .50 (it's a .338Lapua), this is a .50

Ted Kennedy said we can shoot satellites so I'm trying for an old dead Russian one, just kiddin' the Hite Hollow range is up hill, it's 50yd, 100yd and 150yd and 150yd is pretty steep.

The AR30 brake is 1/4 the size the of AR50 brake. My wife has both. It looks huge compared to themadhatters son but the camera is close to the AR30 and his son is a 3rd grader.

Here's a pic of the two side by side.
