It's been awesome seeing Shawn back on the range again!
That's awesome. It's a great opportunity and good for people who don't normally shoot as often, to shoot different guns
"Ever shot a lever action before??" **I have, yeah (pulls trigger) **So I do it every time??** 😂😂😅
Who’s taking the next challenge? 😂 https://srs.site/RANGE-DAY-COLLECTION
😂 Shawn is so competitive he had to hit the target!!!
When my grandfather was alive. He used to take me shooting almost every weekend. Watching you shoot and the fun competition makes me miss him very much 🙏❤🇺🇸
I need a wealthy friend with enough time to set up a challenge like this that I can partake in.
The most dangerous man in the room is quiet. Love the walther.
High right every time lol
The backyard of my dreams. The sound of that 44 magnum REALLY came through on the speakers 😂
