Tobin and Erin

Tobin and I went to the Rose open gun shoot on Saturday. It was so fun! I got to shoot a handgun (45) and watched Tobin shoot a 9 mm handgun. We spent a lot of time with the shotguns. I tried a 20g and a 12g. With the 20, I actually hit a few of the clay birdies!!! I was surprised and very excited. The 12 was heavier and I did more damage to my shoulder than the clay birdies, that’s for sure. Then I got to shoot a rifle. It was called a 30-06, which I have no idea what that means, but it was HUGE. I had to prop it on bags and sit to shoot it. It only took four rounds in the clip, but that was plenty. The bullets were so big! It sounded like a cannon to me, but then again I haven’t heard very many guns before. Anyways, four shots was more than enough for my shoulder. I had no idea if I hit the targets or not; I had everything lined up in the scope, but after I pulled the trigger I just tried to stay in my seat and make sure the gun didn’t jump off the bags, so I never saw anything happen to the targets. The other rifles I shot were the 22’s, and those are fun little guys. I shot at little rubber rabbits hanging by their ears, lol! It was a lot easier to hit a target with those lighter guns. All in all, it was really fun and I can’t wait to shoot again! I’ll update more another time. Later!

I got a new driver’s license today! My new name/address is on it. The BMV people looked really confused when they realized T and I live at different addresses. I didn’t try to explain it to them. Takes too long. Anyways, the license looks totally different than my old one (and it’s pink on the top!). Does anyone know if the new licenses are blue for boys and pink for girls, or are they all pink on the top?

I’m running in a race with Em on May 10th….fun stuff! I really should start training for it. I don’t think I’ll be setting any records in this race, I just want to finish and have some fun with Em waaaay up north. Hope you see you all soon!
