40 gun salute!

[VeeVee]

Well heey... since it's August 6th... known for the BING BANG (Hiroshima bombing), I thought I'd go to the range and shoot some bangs. Here's a 40-gun salute to myself for turning 40 today! ;D

I shot from the bench but did not use the sandbag rest. 40 rounds with the M1. (brought along the 1903 as well for some shoulder punishment)

TAKE THAT LIFE!

Mounted and turned it into a "commemorative" piece ;D

Congratulations Victor....a few more rounds as tribute to the brothers Peter and Paul for their world renowned patent bolt action wonder. BTW belated happy birthday greetings, I just remembered I believe yours is just a few days from my late dad?, (August 2).
