Mike Zimmer: Vikings coach gets in a little skeet shooting (Video)
By Dan Zinski
Brian Murphy of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press was given the rare opportunity to hang out with Vikings coach Mike Zimmer on his Kentucky ranch and posted some video of Zim getting in a little relaxing skeet shooting.
According to Murphy, that part of the ranch used to be a police shooting range.

I could easily envision Zimmer bringing his gun with him to training camp and using it to help motivate his players.
Just kidding, Zimmer doesn’t need to fire warning shots over the heads of his players in order to get them to run faster. He just needs to swear at them.
Skeet shooting wasn’t the only fun-time activity Zimmer undertook during Murphy’s visit to the spread. There was also muskrat hunting. Don’t mess with Zimmer you varmints!

Zimmer’s ranch has all the amenities you would expect, including a sweet trailer.
