Guns
Monday, December 26th, 2005
My granddad brought out the guns today and we did some target shooting. It was a lot of fun and I got to shoot a rifle that had been used in WWI. We shot a semi-automatic .22, a lever action 30-30 equipped with scope, and the afore mentioned Springfield 30.06. It had been quite a while since I had shot a rifle, and it felt good. We shot some targets from about 30 yards and I got a dead-center bull’s eye with the 30-30. Later on in the day (dusk) we shot at some cans, but that didn’t go so well because it was getting pretty dark. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. Now all I need to do is regain hearing in my left ear.
We’re heading to Branson, MO tomorrow to lounge around for a couple of days before heading back to Dallas. Nick said we might go bowling or something tonight, but if not maybe we’ll go build a campfire in the woods and chill out there a little bit before leaving at 7:30 tomorrow morning.
