Early Birthday present

Postby Rip Van Winkle on Wed Dec 16, 2020 6:35 pm

The birthday present my wife got me arrived today. She let me open it up early as it weighted too much to wrap.

Now we have his and her (Dueling) Christmas trees. :lol:

Lets see if you can hit the steel without messing up the tree. Congrats.

Got a chance to break the new tree in this morning.

A bit nippy, but E'ff the WuFlu.

I like that tree. Where can I get one? Cost? BTW, how far away were you shooting the target?

I'd guess about 50'.

Far enough away that didn't shoot my eye out. :lol:

50 inches? That’s like 4 feet. I have to admit, I am not as impressed with your marksmanship as I was when I first watched the video... :|
