Emracing my inner Codger

[BrewIt]

Early morning trip to the local public range. Got my usual eye rolls from the more modern gun folks. (I have some of those as well) After witnessing the lack of skills of said modern gun folk......I will wear my Old Codger label proudly.

I'd say you've made fine choices.

 

[Grayfox]

Welcome to Codgers R Us! I have a bunch of lever guns and revolvers.
Play your cards right and you can graduate to full Curmudgeon.

The eye rolls were probably for the corn cob pipe.

My buddy and I were at the range all day today. He had his S&W .357 and a brand new Henry Big Boy in .357. I put a pic rail and a Romeo 5 on it. He loves it.

Helps keep the gnats away.

Minus the pipe there is nothing “codger-like” there.

Ya know you're gettin old when you get up outta bed and look in the mirror and the image looks back at you like it's lookin at 40 miles of bad roads.

At this point I’m up to about 20 miles.

Some days it’s 40 miles of bad roads on bad tires.

What’s wrong with people, that’s clearly a zombie killing combo. Rick Grimes would be proud.

It’s beautiful. Gold receiver, bands, butt plate. He paid around $975 shipped.

I do. My firing line is the back porch, sometimes the front porch. And I Can Do As I Damn Well Please..... except shoot the clothespins off the line. Sorry dear, the Mrs. find no humor in that

Did they have to tie a pork chop around your neck to get the dog to play with you ?

Yep and even then he bit me.
