We were thawing out fast after a very wet season .



My friend and his 50 cal.



Me and my 308.



All and all we had a great time. Could not get across the creak to set up anything at the long range. So we settled for mostly shooting steel, a little handgun work, and I got to pattern my shotgun. Actually glad my friend owns this setup it came in handy for the day. Our 2 wheel drive trucks could not have made it to our destination.

Just to let you know those pics of the shooting are from my video camera on a tripod. No one was down range while we were shooting.

And I was hoping for some closeups on the target...

Looks like a great set-up.  What scope did he put on the .50?
