Today Tim, Ashley, Chuck and I drove up to Green Mountain so Tim and Ashley could shoot. Yes, its one of those thrilling boy things. Actually, Ashley did like shooting. It was her first time to ever shoot a gun. Of course, Tim had her shoot the shotgun first! She did great since the gun was almost the same size she was. She handled the kick-back well. I even took ONE shot with Jeff's 30-06 rifle and I hit my target of a #10 can full of applesauce! You can even see the whole right above the jagged edge of the can that the bullit made. I quit while I was ahead. I spent the majority of the time in the car. One, I do not like guns particularly. Two, I do not like earplugs a lot. Three, I would rather be shopping, crafting, reading or anything other than being on the side of a mountain with a small armory being dressed in camo. This is Tim's PASSION! We would've been out on the sidelines had he been interested in a team sport. This is the one way we can support him with his interest. I know Tim wished I had participated with more than just one shot. I suppose you just have to be in the right mood for shooting. Sorry Tim! When are we going to the mall?
I love your blog! So much fun to look at and to read. Thanks for sharing!
