This past weekend I accompanied a good friend out of town
for a day of target practice. Well it was more like learn to shoot than
practice. I myself did not shoot, but my friend wanted to learn for experience
mainly for her job. She deals with hunters, as customers, and to gain the
respect she needed to be able to say “Yes I have fired guns before”. So her brother
in-law said he would help and I tagged along for support. We drove out to an
area that is used for target practice and had a few targets to shoot at. A
metal target was placed 50 yards out and on the second shot she hit the target.
Though it was rainy and I just stood around, I was impressed with her shooting.
She hit the target with small and medium caliber shot and really showed she
could do it. Now she can look them in the eye and say “Yes I have shot a gun
many times”.
Since we were out, we headed up the road a few more miles,
after all the shooting, and had a lat lunch/early dinner in a nearby town. We
sat and talked and joked, she was happy to have done it but she isn’t going to
do it again. It isn’t her thing. Before we stopped for dinner, we walked the
main street of town and looked in a few shops. There are only a few blocks of
stores but they do have nice little places and some good things.
