Thanksgiving 2008 Shoot

Welcome back!

Well, this post is a little late but I figured I better get some info out about our fun outing on Thanksgiving morning.

The morning started out very rainy and we just about canceled at the departure rendezvous point. However, we decided since we were up and ready to go that we’d give it a try. Thankfully, by the time we reached west-Lehi we were out of the rain. And, by the time we arrived at the shooting location the clouds had actually begun to break-up. We enjoy the most mild weather we’ve had on the Thanksgiving shootout!

Our destination was an area near Five-Mile-Pass. We arrived there at about 8 a.m. and had a good time for several hours as we practiced with handguns, rifles, and shotguns. Thanks to Dave for letting us borrow his awesome thrower! And, thanks to Mark who kept us warm with lots of hot chocolate from the Cocoa-motion (mobile edition)! It was also fun to have some extended family from Virginia join us.

We took some portable banquet tables this year which worked really well; we’ll have to remember that for next year. Another big hit were some of the various computer parts we used as targets!

Here are some pictures…
