Had Daughter #2 and my future son-in-law at the range last Saturday.

Before we left my future son-in-law was hitting the 500-yard steel more than not and Daughter #2 had her share of hits, too. Winds were gusting and constantly changing direction from dead behind to 90 degrees, so I was pleased to see them hit at all.

I was getting my licks in, too, using the .257 Roberts, .308 Win and a couple different .30-06's. Just before we left I took three shots at the 500-yard steel with the .22-250 and all were good hits.

Took about 5 shots at the 600-yard steel but couldn't dope the wind and the fresh paint went untouched. If I compensated for the wind I'd miss right, if I didn't I'd miss left. Oh, well.

All in all a good day. Future son-in-law will be elk hunting with me this fall and I'm confident that his shooting skills will be adequate.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
