Where was the Earth Shattering Kaboom?

Today, it was at State Line Gun Shop, who put on a small but very fun gun show. Doubletrouble brought his home made cannon, which is more fun than you're allowed to have in the People's Soviet of Massachusetts. Fortunately, State Line is in New Hampshire ...


I got yer Common Sense Cannon control. Right. Here. That's #2 Son prepping the canon for the next shot, clearing the fuse hole. Notice the control he's exercising.


Also enjoyed was full automatic, suppressed, evil "assault" style shooting. Once again, the good citizens of the Granite State didn't start shrieking in terror at the sight, the Chief of Police didn't tell us to knock it off, and (astonishingly, with all the guns around) nobody got shot. Hard to believe, but true.

Well, someone almost did get shot:
However, in our defense, let me say that we did state "Range Hot" in a loud voice, and he did run across the line of fire. Mr. Chipmunk is likely back with his cousins Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, telling them that our marksmanship is terrible.

We did score some reactive targets, though.

And so while the basement Airsoft Range is mercifully chipmunk-free, it's more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

What a fabulous way to spend a fabulous spring day with your son.

Glad you & #2 could make it!
Good to talk w/you again- let's further consider getting the fam up here to shoot some stuff.
