Post up your other toys or hobbies ..... AGAIN

Got a bit of range time today. With the BAR weighing in at 20+lbs and standing fire at 1 shot every 3 seconds per range rules, my arms were dying at 1+ minutes holding this rifle up shooting it through a 20 round mag. Put 17 of a 20 on paper at 50 yds using open (horrible peep sights). No idea on how our "boys" used this rifle with any accuracy with bullets wizzing by their heads in combat. Total respect to the GI's of WW2 and Korea using this beast
Heavy trigger pull pulled most of my shots to the right. Understandably high as the first mark on the peep sight is 100 yds. But being a "Mr. Magoo", I can't even see the center of the target at 100 yds using open sights. Hahahahaha

Still a good group!
 
Love our X3, but it is certainly light on utility. Got a new Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk today. Hoping to gain back some extra utility again. Meanwhile our oldest son is buying our X3, and we‘re excited for him.

The ole X3:

Nice.. We just ordered and picked up a new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe. It is the hybrid electric/gas model. Gets about 20-30 miles on electric and then the gas motor kicks in. GF is able to charge at work for free. Ordered in Sept and got it in November, just in time to get the government $7500 tax credit. It was changed for 2023 tax year. We wanted all the bells and whistles on it. GF prefers rides in this over my '79 bird, this has airbags and abs. I still prefer my bird and pretending to living in the 80's again...lol

This is my current hobby as it seems to take up all my free time since we're acting as the general contractor. Broke ground at the end of September on our "forever" house, rough-in started this week.View attachment 34043.
Just a little shack in the woods, huh??
 
What is all that white stuff? :cool:
We were lucky this year where I live in Pa. Couple heavy dustings but not enough to even plow/shovel. That’s a couple years in a row with basically no snow. We’re gonna pay for it one of these years. :oops:
 
We have his and hers boats now - the Benny is mine and my husband has a Hewes Redfisher 18. One for playing/pleasure/cruising and one for fishing!!!
Kim, I like yours Best!
 
No snow for us in Carolina this year!!! Yeah!!!
 
Been looking at getting a Ford Expedition Max with a 3.5L V6 w/twin turbos that produces 400hp to replace our last Expedition we had for 15 yrs. But I just wanted something different. So I started looking at full size trucks with a crew cab. Test drove them all and this is what won out. A 2023 Ram 1500 Big Horn edition crew cab with the Night package! 5.7L V8 Hemi......
