I was late on arrival to
take this cool late sunrise photo of Lake Superior. This
was a manual exposure of f/22 and 125th of a second shutter
speed. Look at the lake surface differences!

Kristof and Steve. Kristof
is preparing to fire at the 600 yard target. This is shot
from 250mm focal length on a lens, which makes the target
look rather close. Picture a REALLY long Par 5.

Kristof preparing to fire
at the 600 yard target. There is deception of true distance
again, as this is shot from 50 feet behind on a long lens.

Kristof loading a clip
of 8 rounds into the M1 Garand.

| Steve and Kristof. Steve is manning my
spotting scope with my new Freeland Scope Stand. |
Kristof getting on target. I shot three
photos as he fired, trying to get a photo of a brass case
being ejected, but it just goes too quick. |

| Toivo relaxing between shots and not spotting
vapor trails. During the morning, the humidity changed and
made it easier to see bullet vapor trails later in the morning. |
Steve slinging up with the M1 Garand. Steve
mentioned that he bought the largest size Creedmor Shooting
Coat that Creedmor Shooting Supply actually made. He is
a big dude. |

| Steve loading her up... |
In proper form to avoid "Garand Thumb"
if the bolt closes early. |

|
| Steve getting on target at 600 yards. Note
the sightline from his eye, through his glasses, through
the aperture sights. It looks high... |
Kristof spotting. We couldn't see bullet
hits at 600 yards, but we could see bullet vapor trails
and/or splashes behind the target to call shots. |

| Tony laughing at something Kristof said
while shooting... |
Tony and Kristof, debating some form of
shooting or something. Note the subtle ripples in the light
gravel in front of the muzzle of the rifle from the multiple
blast waves. |

The countdown to Camp Perry starts
getting close!
Less than 90 hours from this shooting
session!
