Our 45th Anniversary shoot !

Post by fortyshooter » Sun Sep 06, 2020 7:06 pm

Yep my wife and I celebrated 45 yrs. of marriage this weekend and went down to the Bullseye Saloon to celebrate! I was shooting the Henry 45 Colt Carbine and she had the HiPoint 45 with the EOTech sight.
Now the deal was to first...each of us shoot out a bottle of cheap champagne positioned in the Saloon lower windows and then shoot a a target card to see who could shoot the tighter group.
Now even though Margie has never shot my HiPoint or ever used a red dot sight you got to watch her when it comes to bets!!
So she goes along like not knowing how to shoulder the HiPoint and then not seeing the target card which was the 4 of Clubs and mine the 5 of Diamonds.
Well look at her nice little group of 3 compared to my group!!!! Got snuckered again by her sweet innocence!
Got to watch out for Miss Straight Shooter!! :lol: So dinner was on me.....cookin' steaks on the grill!

We each blasted our champagne bottles sending a shower of spray and glass but we were a safe distance. Man those things exploded!
Many thanks to our son for enjoying the day with us too! Have some video but might take a while to get it loaded.

On to year 46 and lovin everyone of them!!

Congrats on 45 years and a great day. Super way to celebrate. My wife and best friend will celebrate 50 years next May. I can't believe anyone put up with me for that long. :o

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Thanks folks...we had a great time and the weather was perfect for it! Steaks turned out great too cooked over charcoal and hickory.
Now anyone have a .46 caliber I can borrow for next year?? :D
