Grandsons Connor and Britton left and right with their buddy Kyle in center shooting 1000 yards yesterday afternoon! They were asking me for wind dope and they were laying them in there. Connor/Britton shooting 6.5's and Kyle shooting .308 Winchester. ![[Linked Image]](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7142/27121278601_bb216ffc37_o.jpg) Connor, Kyle, and Britton shooting 1000 yards. by Rick Mulhern, on Flickr

Yesterday I taught them how to estimate distance by knowing the approximate size of their target by using the displacement of MOA grid marks. They caught on pretty quickly! As for 'growing'....Connor is projected to be 6'6" and Britton 6'2"! They're putting on muscle through football/baseball and daily workouts! Both killed their turkeys this year hunting alone!! Here's what they caught last week while fishing: Alligator Snapping Turtle of 148# ![[Linked Image]](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7368/26767563490_67eec592d7_b.jpg) Untitled by Rick Mulhern, on Flickr
