Take your daughters to the woods to shoot

With a day as beautiful as any this year, and both daughters at home today, I ignored my sore throat and  decided to take the eager girls up to the forest to do some shooting.  

We had a CZ 75, a Kahr K9, a Seecamp in .32 acp, and a TC chambered in .17 mach 2.  Add an ammo can full of reloaded .9mm Luger, and we were ready to rock.

The girls had to take some selfies with their cell camera so they could show their city friends what a cool dad they had.

We drove up past Ham's Station on Highway 88, turned off on Cat Creek Road, and dropped down into the canyon of the Mokulumne River.

It's a long, long way on this road to anything, so it was no surprise that we saw no one and heard no one the whole time we were there.  A quick detour onto a side road brought us to this cathedral of pines, and the perfect place to shoot safely.   We set up our Zombie target, and began the fun.

The little Seecamp is designed around the .32 acp round, and has a long, long trigger pull.  Not too accurate beyond maybe 15 yards, but pleasantly snappy just the same.

The Kahr K9 was also fun.  I got a big laugh when I loaded up the magazine and asked the girls if they "wanted to shoot the Kahr." 

Relaxed and entertained among the pines.

Later, on the way home, we called the wife and son, who had other demands on their time this morning, and convinced them to meet us for dinner at the Ione Hotel.  Great Italian food with the whole family is a fine way to end a day like this.
