Day Three-Hundred and Twenty-Three

A history of guns shot by Jamee:

  • Some random nieghbor kid's bb gun - used to shoot coke cans
  • .22 rifle at Rockin' C Ranch (RCR) - won several free cokes for hitting the bullseye
  • 410 and 20 gauge shotguns at RCR - shot a whole 6 clay pigeons
  • Dad and his friend took me "hunting" and I shot a limb off a dead tree with a 410
  • I don't think air soft counts, so I won't include that or laser tag.
As you can see, I have had fairly limited experience with guns. But that doesn't mean that I don't like guns. Yesterday was Cecilia's day, today is James' day. He taught me what I needed to know about this gun. Loading, unloading, safety, etc.
We drove north and stopped at Braum's in Decatur. Then we proceeded to Fossil Pointe. For November, it was a beautiful to be out shooting. No one was right behind or in front of us, so we took our time. Some of the targets were impossible to hit, but others were much easier. We went through the "Green Course" which was supposed to be easy. It wasn't really that easy  though. A bunch of the clays were flat and very hard to hit. Despite having a gun that was too big (stock needs to be shorter) and this being my first time to do something like this, I shot 30%. James got 45%. It was a lot of fun and it wore me out. I don't have a bruise from being hit in the shoulder 100 times oddly enough. I think we may do this again, hopefully I will do better next time.
