Default Back from Pigeon Forge

Back from a week and change vacation in Pigeon Forge TN with the whole family. We had a really nice, large cabin on the side of a beautiful mountain in the Great ys.

While there, my daughter's BF (E-6 SO with 8 years and 3 deployments) visited while driving back to Hampton Roads from Indiana where he was attending the SEAL sniper course. It was our first opportunity to meet him. He seemed like a solid guy - I liked him.

He brought back with him his DMR in 5.56 with Leupold glass, and a big old suppressor, as well as several kinds of night vision.

We had a great time shooting at some targets down the mountain at about 200 yds. The suppressor was pretty cool. No ears required, but still reasonably loud. I had never shot a DMR, and though I'd love to have one, they go for a pretty price.

Anyway, I'm back.

Welcome back. The little lady and I love it up there! Sounds like you had a great time, especially being able to shoot on vacation.
