The Appalachian Irishman was involved in a shooting on New Year’s Eve, up in his native Hawkins County! Wait! Don’t start gathering that bail money!
His youngest brother and he finally got together to release a little stress by killing a few hanging targets. Below are the “taking down the bad guy” poses of my brother and me.
We started by firing a few rounds with Dad’s old 32-caliber pistol. We need to do a little work on the weapon to restore it to proper condition, but it still shoots! Next, we shot my brother’s 9 mm handgun. The photograph below shows my hits from about 15 yards away. The black tape marks where I fired Dad’s pistol. The holes show the 9 mm impacts. Not too bad for my first time firing a 9 mm, huh?
The fun started when we switched to the 12-gauge shotgun! I hadn’t fired a shotgun in many years, but it came back to me instantly. The results are below!
I needed some stress and frustration relief! Thanks, brother! We’ll do this again soon!
