Nothing for Granted

[Boom]

Ill keep this short as possible. Had my dad (aged 81) down to shoot today. I put together a LR package for him: Savage 110 Backcountry in 6.5 PRC, with a NF SHV on it. We got to work together, figured out the ballistics (he'd not seen a Labradar), and, with his hand loads, watched him bang steel at 600, 800, 1000 and 1200 yards. Had a midday break when my son showed up with fried chicken and tea for a lunch on the range. I cant explain the smile on his face when my dad cut that piece at 1200, just complete satisfaction I guess is the best way to describe it. Sorry if this is a little sappy but guessing we can all stand for a happy reminder of how precious time is with loved ones. Take nothing for granted fellas.

Hey brother, taking nothing for granted is right. Lost my mom in December and wasn't prepared to say the least. Live each day like it's your last.
