Some friends and I went out to Storm Mountain to shoot. It was awesome! Among the things we brought were my Lahti and my Thompson.
The drive out was interesting. Among the things we passed was a quad-mount machine gun (demilled) at an American Legion Post, the Coca Cola Museum, and the headquarters of Easyrider Magazine.
The weather was beautiful, and there was not a cloud in the sky. Here are some pictures of the range and the area. Click on the thumbnail for a larger image. Click on the "Full Size" to see the original size picture.
Here is the Lahti. Isn't she beautiful? Below you can get some idea of just how beautiful...
Me and my Lahti, strolling down the av-en-ue.
Here are some other folks enjoying the view from behind the sights.
Here are the rounds and the magazine, with some smiling people thrown in to provide scale.
At long last, I'm going to fire this beast. I saw it, fell in love, and bought it at Knob Creek in April 2000. It took more than a year and a half to finally hear it speak. It was definitely worth the wait.

Note to self: Some things are better done in private.
This isn't what it looks like. It's just me lowering my creaky
bones down to the prone position to shoot from. Honestly!

All right, as long as you're all thinking it anyway, there might
as well be a caption contest. Send your snide comments to me

You haven't really made it on the internet until there is a picture
of your ass online. Now fame is mine! Can fortune be far behind (so to speak)?
The Lahti was kind enough to let me fire 10 rounds before blowing the magazine catch. Here's a picture of it afterwards.
Here is one of the handgun ranges, and a target car. The car pictures are before and after the Thompson. Rusty holes are before, and shiny holes are after.
Here we are shooting the car:
