My daughter is hosting an exchange student from Germany, and he had never fired a single shot before in his life. I asked my daughter if she thought he would want to shoot, and she said that they had already talked about it, and he did. She added that since her four kids had only shot .22 LR in the past that they wanted to shoot the bigger guns as well. Plus, the college age granddaughter wanted to bring her boyfriend along since he likes to shoot as well. So, I rented the Fish and Gun club on Good Friday so that we would be the only people allowed on the range and would have the clubhouse to eat and play board games that my wife brought. The safety meeting started just before 11:00 a.m., lunch was eaten around 1:00, and we started cleaning the range at 6:00 p.m. and went back to the clubhouse for supper. No board games were played but the smell of gunpowder filled the area.

1,980 rounds of .22 Long Rifle
407 rounds of .223
148 rounds of .45 ACP
141 rounds of .38 Special
124 rounds of 9 mm
50 rounds of .22 K Hornet
44 rounds of .44 Mag
27 rounds of .308
22 rounds of .270
20 rounds of .357 Mag
10 rounds of .221 Fireball
35 rounds of .450

So, a little over 3,000 rounds and the smiles were priceless.

9 rifles and pistols chambered in .22 LR
6 rifles and one pistol chambered in .223 (2 were AR platform)
3 pistols chambered in .38 Special
1 pistol chambered in .357 (also used for .38 Special)
3 pistols chambered in .45 ACP
The rest were rifles.

Holy crap :laf: Thats a LOT of flying lead. That was pretty generous on your part. I can imagine how fun that HAD to be for all of them.

My favorite part was this;
