Bullet points

Saturday Wendy, Joy, and I were visiting family. One of my aunt's was in from Florida. So Wendy, Joy, and I went over to my mom's old homestead for a get together. While there I got to fire some guns. My uncle had a shotgun (of some kind) and a revolver (of some kind). I do not think I will ever be a gun aficionado. I cannot even play the games where the target is lit for you and hit it. In real life it is very difficult.

I admit I was a little jumpy. Every time for the first I would flinch. It is hard me for to aim. I just sort of pointed and pulled. I did hit one clay pigeon. Well out of 15. Tossing the clay pigeons is tough work too. It never went high for me and always pulled to the left. However, my uncle is a good shot and managed to still hit most of them.

Guns are extremely loud. I think you would definitely know if one was fired. Even with the ear plugs I could hear the pfff. There was a big difference between the noises. It was easy to forget how loud the noise was with the ear protection.

My cousin in law shot a cow pie. He was shooting and we saw some brown fly up. He turned around and asked, "Did I just hit a cow pie?" We looked and he did.

The shooting experience was interesting. I might would do it again. It does require a great deal of practice to be good at hitting a target. Unless of course you have a really big target or a really big bullet.
