ME AND ANOTHER BIG GUN

High Desert, OR

Roy took us out to the remote areas to look for wild Mustangs but we didn't find any. He brought his 50 caliber along so I could shoot it. Now, we were not going to shoot a horse with this or any other critter. We did hit a shrub or two and it was fun to be able to do it. This sucker almost weighs as much as I do. So, when in Oregon, still don't mess with Texas women! Thanks, Roy for the great day and letting me shoot this monster. I will catch up as I can on comments. Been spending a lot of time out and about and not much time to post comments or too many pictures. I'm heading to Portland today to meet up with Cory, my friend from highschool. Will try to get to everyone when I get there. Y'all have a great weekend!

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi
1/800s f/11.0 at 20.0mm iso400 full exif

Dangerous, even when it falls on your feet!

Ann Cleeves21-Aug-2008 22:33
What a fun day that was! Surely that monster gun was as tall as you too? A very cool SP
Anja Lieder03-Aug-2008 10:46
This is very nice! You MAericans are very lucky to be able to shoot around ! What sort of bullethole does this one make?
Dave02-Aug-2008 00:16
These things eat expensive food. Looks like you have your hands full.
Guest 01-Aug-2008 02:40
Hmmm! I thought you where taller! :)
R. Walls25-Jul-2008 23:35
And I thought you 100-400 zoom was a big gun!
You almost look like a "Most Wanted" poster holding that thing!
Jola Dziubinska25-Jul-2008 23:33
Great weapon for a Texas woman :)

Phillip Normanton25-Jul-2008 22:38
Blimey, ever get that out-gunned feelng? lol
Terri Steele25-Jul-2008 22:32
Holy moly! That is probably the biggest gun I've ever seen... Great SP girl!!!
Laura Sebastianelli25-Jul-2008 22:03
great sp cindi! heck of a gun! bet that would have some big recoil (though I do NOT know guns)! it reminds me of a conversation I had with an army ranger friend... when I suggested my reactional emotional temperment might be a bad mix with guns, he said "the only reaction you should feel is re-coil".. did make me laugh. looks like you are having fun!
beverley harrison25-Jul-2008 21:15
bet it weighs more than the canon!! hahaha!!
John Buffin25-Jul-2008 19:21

Talk about reach out and touch someone... ;)

Scott Browne25-Jul-2008 17:21
Love it! Looks like you definitely had a "blast"! Would love to have had that opportunity.
Coleen Perilloux Landry25-Jul-2008 17:02
You obviously did not have a shoulder pad on. Wild woman!
Jen Bixler25-Jul-2008 16:59
Okay, lemme get the story straight...
You connect with someone online, meet him, drive to an isolated desert, take one of the biggest guns I have ever seen... Sounds like the plot to a murder-mystery! Glad to see you are alive and well, you crazy woman!
Mike Stobbs25-Jul-2008 16:42
Holy cow that's big gun....
Guest 25-Jul-2008 16:39
Impressive rifle...you should see what it does for snipers in Afghanistan and Iraq. It will definitely "reach out and touch someone". I don't think I could get that one in my gun safe.

...I 'spect I'll be getting a call from you and Cory this afternoon.
Linda Matta25-Jul-2008 16:16
YOU ARE MY HERO.
Roy Hill25-Jul-2008 15:43

Don't mess with Texas Women in ANY State !!
Guest 25-Jul-2008 15:28
DANG, Cindi! I don't know how you lifted it let alone shoot it.
Dan Chusid25-Jul-2008 15:26

Ann...25-Jul-2008 15:08
OK !!! I surrender.......!!!!!
Guest 25-Jul-2008 14:49
Now that is impressive... the gun is pretty big too!! Excellent Cindi... I know you are having a blast. And to be honest... I am a bit jealous. I have always wanted to fire a .50 Cal. Lucky YOU!!!
Tomasz Dziubinski - Photography25-Jul-2008 14:46
You can shoot down a Tyrannosaurus rex with this gun Cindi, Vote :)
Bob Floyd25-Jul-2008 14:46
I don't know Cindi...seems a little small to me. Didn't he have anything larger? ;-)
Jess. ( Lady.D.)25-Jul-2008 14:39
