Redmond Minerals does Dynamite Shoots as sort of a PR thing for all of their big clients and they have a pretty nice set up for their range behind the mine. There's a covered patio with tables and benches, a storage shed to store the BBQ's and heaters, shooting rests, and even a bathroom! It's pretty cool!
So Grandpa Ronny cooked us up some hamburgers and it was nice to talk with all the Bosshardt's.
Then after lunch, the fun began!
Garrett's uncle Kyle is in charge of the range for Redmond Minerals and does all the shoots out here so he is really careful about everything. He did let me hold a stick of dynamite though and that was pretty cool. Then Kyle goes out into the range and sets up a few sticks at 100, 200, 300, and 400 yrds. Then the shooting begins.
Garrett shot before me and he shot really well. It is so cool to see it and hear what it sounds like when you hit a stick of Dynamite. We all wore ear plugs because it is so loud! The farther distances had bigger sticks so they made a bigger BOOM! (This picture is just of the little 100 yard boom that Garrett hit, you should have seen the explosion at 400 yards!)
I shot after Garrett and I did really well if I do say so myself!
I didn't hit the 400 yard one though. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to go back again so I can get more practice!
This was so much fun and definitely something we'll have to do again!
BOOM!
