    'Ovidio' - This is a very nice Walther .22 cal. Target Pistol. You really puzzled me in the first photo by using a 'center-fire' cartridge case to prop up the pistol.

    You are a good son in planning to take your Mother to the Range on her next visit!

    The closest thing I have to your fine Walther is a Chinese 'Norinco' replica of the "Olympia". Actually, the quality on my imitation is pretty good and it is a "Tack Driver".

    Thanks for sharing your Father's Walther!

    Thank you very much.
    I try to give back some of what I have received, which is a lot!!!
    I'd love to bring my Dad too, but he has some trouble with his eyes and does not want to come and shoot bad. He was a crack-shot, so I can understand him, though I would love to have him fire some rounds.

    Considering the centre-fire round, that is one of my dummy .303 rounds. A bit too big for the pea-shooter

    Old Faithful gave me some satisfaction yesterday evening.
    Cold evening, but good shooting.
    Just the shot before the last landed apart, by a few centimetres.
    The other 19 are in a very small diameter.
    I was really glad about this target.
    Even the previous ones were similar, but this was a tad tighter.
