Take A Dog Shooting

[KAZ]

bearandoldman and I shamelessly hijacked a perfectly good thread on the rimfire pistol segment discussing the merits of our shooting making us happy. Along with that he told me about how much his Bear likes to go to the range. When the real KAZ was a pup(we are both long in the tooth now) I would take him out to my deer lease to target shoot, and he would lay by the bench. We have a nice 100 yd set up with the back stop being a tank(Pond)dam. I would shoot a group and for exercise I would walk down to the target to see/tape. All the way down I would throw Kaz's ball and he would race back until we were at the tank and he would race over the dam and depending on the temperature swim or just get a drink. To this day when he sees me with any firearm he is ready to go. We both still walk, just slower now Regards

Got to spend a little time with Bear and his chauffeur on a range last summer. Excellent range companion.

Bear is a good range dog, rarely ever seems to get in your way or walk out into the shooting area. He has his own hearing protection but refuses to wear safety glasses but will wear a cap.


Notice that viscous look, a real killer dog.

He is probably a lot better behaved and trainable. than Bob and I are

Bear does have a friend downstate that will wear eye protection but he wants to be a biker and ride his masters restored Norton 850.

Great picture! He is what we call a Handsome Brute,and that restored Norton is one I used to lust for!
The real KAZ (in his eighth year) woke up yesterday with a visit from arthritis in his hip from a rabbit chasing escapade Friday. I didn't walk either because I didn't want to make him feel bad,but I did pull out a rifle to function test and he hops up like a youngster to follow me outside. Needless to say I put the rifle away so that he would resume bed rest. Today we are better and went for our our walk carefully. Regards to all

All he needs is an aviator's scarf, a leather flying helmet, and he'd look like Snoopy!

Well give you pal a treat , Bear and I are headed out to the gun clubs shortly so he can have some fun and play in the snow and I can watch the Muzzle loader fun shoot at one club and check on my managers at the other one. You do know what snow is don't you, it's rain that got very cold.

Yes,despite the 75 degree temps here I do remember what snow is. My Father moved our family to Fairbanks in 1954 where I dealt with all things snowy until I escaped that winter wonderland 10 years later. When I find myself missing the joy of a pristine new snow scape I log into www,arcticcam.com which gives a nice eye view/temp. They enjoyed some -60 a few weeks ago

Had a friend who used to live in Anchorage, where the temps are balmy compared to inland not all that far inland in Fairbanks.

True enough,on the Alaska Hwy when you get to TOK Junction you go left to much warmer climes or right to FB. My Father picked FB with little info(days before internet) when we were at the tail end of his Army career stationed in France. So, right from Europe to Alaska
