Drove up to Grandpa's Sporting Acres outside Syracuse, NE this past weekend to take part in an annual sporting clays event called Flatwater with a few friends. Lots of guns, lots of great folks and met Joe Chambers, a hugely talented gun-builder who specializes in 1911s - he's apparently Steven Segal's new 'smith, too. Joe says my Rock Island 1911 has a great trigger-pull (thank you, thank you ) but a lil bit of overtravel. Pffft, what does he know, anyway?

Just after arriving Fri evening:
First shoot in the morning:
Dustin, a fireman, shooting his old English Lancaster (damascus barrels):
Shooters watching a clay fly:
Ex Vietnam military intelligence dude about to smoke a clay with his 28-ga:
Some of the guns - my little .410 on the right and the silver-barreled shotgun is an old 10-ga:
1911s were the order of the day - a Glock crashed the party later that night (and was promptly snuck off and placed in the kitchen next to the trash-can to keep it company):
Beautiful Britney pup patiently waiting for a treat:
