Hit Me With Your Best Shot

I have a confession - I've never shot a gun {coming from the family that I come from, that's a big deal}.  That is, until two weeks ago when I went to visit my bro in Wenatchee for a few days and we found ourselves with a free afternoon and nothing to do.  I decided to go for it, so we packed up a few .22's and headed up to the gun range.  I had crazy butterflies in my stomach, but after watching my bro shoot a couple rounds, I stepped up and shot my first shot.  And it was pretty awesome :)  While I don't want my own gun anytime soon {or at all, for that matter}, it was such an adrenaline rush to shoot that gun and watch the bullet hit the target.  We ended up staying for quite awhile, trying out different guns and setting up different targets for us to hit {my favorite - an old Neil Diamond cassette tape we found lying around}.  It was so much fun being out there - seriously one of the most fun days I've had in a very long time.  I can't wait to get back out and shoot shit again soon :)

 it is infinitely harder to shoot while standing up

 not bad for a first-timer {mine's on the left}!

Thanks for teaching me, brother!  That was the best day :)
