An attempt was made to launch a barrel into orbit.

Great vid, gunner! I’m glad you got it.
Folks, you had to be there to get the full ‘impact’ of that. You could actually feel the concussion from 100 yards away. And it was loud!
And I’m sure I probably forgot someone - so I’M SORRY!
Mrs Shibumi and I are now safely ensconced in a lakefront condo on Lake Conroe. (Today’s drive was nothing campared to the other two!) But before we have our evening repast and retire to sleep for a day (maybe two) I just had to let Y’All know.....
Each and every one of you went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. This is so very much appreciated and has lifted the (somewhat apprehensive ) spirits of Mrs. S. regarding our impending move to these parts.
Gracious, friendly people and great food and fellowship - just what the doctor ordered!
Not only that, despite her 8 year military career. Mrs. Shibumi had not fired a weapon in close to 20 years. All the way here today I heard how she is now ready to go back to a range ASAP. She’s not just a dilletante now - I think we have a real enthusiast on our hands!
Thanks again to everyone. We can’t wait till the next shoot!
AWESOME!!
Thanks for the pings.
Gunner, that was a great video - ya do good work. That barrel never stood a chance, lol. It probably reached a height of at least 200 feet - awesome!
Windflier, I sure enjoyed meeting you and your wife, and kids. Your wife is precious and the kids were great and really helped me a lot in moving stuff.
TheMom and MyLife, thanks for organizing the shoot - tremendous fun and great event.
Jim, I’m so glad I got to meet you - FR has really helped me through some bad times - mere thanks seems totally inadequate, but my thanks to you are heartfelt.
I sure enjoyed seeing everyone again and meeting the Boss, Jim, and some new shooters, as well. I had a lot of fun and am looking forward to the next shoot to which I can manage to attend.
I missed the after party because I was just too tired out - still in recovery mode from all my medical problems, radiation and medication.
If I stepped on anyone’s toes or offended anyone in any way, I apologize most humbly, as it was unintentional - please forgive me.
I am slowly getting stronger, with God’s help and grace.
May God bless Jim, FR, and all Freepers where-ever they are.
