A Day Out in Outterson's Ranch - Part 1

Date: 15 March 2008 (Sat)

Our colleague in Shell Trading, David Outterson invited us to his ranch for a day. He owned a huge ranch about 340 hectares...

He had a collection of guns... Real Guns which can kill any living creatures.
Before we started, he briefed us few strict rules on safety like:-
i) Don't point a gun at anyone although it is unloaded
ii) Do not joke around when holding the guns
iii) Always assume that the guns are loaded with bullets
iv) Turn on the Gun lock at all times after use

WARNING: Do not play guns without supervision of a licensed gun owner.. Guns can kill !!


I am holding a rifle


Loading some bullets into the rifle


Getting ready to shoot..


Aiming at the target on a tree trunk..David is the one in yellow.


Aiming the target..Do I look like a sharp-shooter?


Some of the bullets..it costs about 10 cents each..Cheap?


This pistol is commonly used by the police


More bullets


It is very loud..I have to wear an ear-plug


The colour of the bullets is the same as my wedding ring. ;)


Different types of rifles..
