Guns. I am not the biggest fan in the world. I wasn't raised around them and really just don't understand why people have them other than for hunting. Scott on the other hand is an avid gun enthusiast. He enjoys target shooting and after a little nagging I was invited to go along with him while he sighted in the ones he is going to use for deer season this year.
Shooting was really a lot of fun and I wasn't that bad at aiming! I wasn't a marksman by any means, but I hit the target almost every time and even knocked down a metal gopher target on my first try!
Although it was fun, there is a healthy amount of fear/respect that I have for firearms. Safety was of course our main focus and between Scott and his buddy we were shooting with, I was given a lot of important information.
While I still don't love the idea of guns and definitely don't want one of my own, I was so glad to be able to shoot one for myself. I look forward to the next time we are able to do it!
