Some Special target art !

My son's 38th birthday was today so last week I decided to make him a special card.

Yep took my S&W Model 66 and loaded up some of my .38 Special 158 gr. FBI loads and went to plinking very carefully along the 38
target lines from 7 yds. Shooing position was sittin' in my chair with revolver propped on left knee.
After a bunch of careful trigger squeezes it turned out fairly well.
As a side note if you add his age 38 to the caliber 38 you get 76. My M-66 was made in 1976!!

Yes he is 2 clicks from the big 40 and a VERY Special 38 today!

Now that's a card any shooter would love. Makes the usual Hallmark card look bad. Nicely done.

Thanks guys! He enjoyed it very much!
Now I have some time before his big 40 which could involve a Glock 23 :)

Your kids grow up fast and now he is introducing shooting sports to his youngest!

I think he was around 8yrs. old when he caught that fish!
