Rifle Range with the New Gun
On Wednesday Zander, dad and I went to the rifle range to try out the new gun. It was the second time we went there with it but the first time we couldnt shoot because there were paragliders out over the beach that was in front of the range. I guess they were afraid someone would get shot. At the range it was really loud and it smelled of gun smoke. The guys loved that smell but I thought it was gross. It must be a guy thing to like anything and everything that has anything to do with guns. And the noise was crazy in the picture you can see Zander cowering in the background with his hands over his ears... he must not be entirely guyish. We had a bunch of little stick on targets to shoot at. There were really little ones that were about an inch in diameter and bigger ones that were around three or four inches in diameter. We all practiced on the big ones and at the end we had a little contest with the smaller ones. We got three targets each and four shots (dad got 5 because he is bigger than us) and we tried to hit the tiny targets. Zander and I both hit one of the targets but dad hit none so we all got to make fun of him. It was pretty sad because he got more shots than us. Afterwards we went into the shooters lounge and bought candy for this vending machine that kept stealing our money. Fun stuff!!!
