So- here's my new favorite pass time! Trap shooting! Jason and I have started shooting about once a week. Sometimes more if I can talk him into it. 
I never thought in a million years that this would be something that I enjoy, but I LOVE IT! I love shooting my gun, and although I love hunting with my husband I have to say it beats the heck out of it. No hiking your butt off, no waiting all day long in the freezing cold, no waking up at 4am, all to shoot once or twice and come home with nothing. We go for a couple hours, shoot up to a hundred or so shells, and break a bunch of clay pigeons. I sucked really bad at first, but am almost able to out-shoot my husband. He used to think he was safe if he "ran to the right" cause I couldn't hit anything that flew to the right. Now, he's sweating it. In fact, last time we shot together he only broke one more that I did. GAME ON!!!!
This is the rest of the group we shoot with- they play all sorts of games and have all kinds of contests. My most recent trap adventure was the PMS Women's shoot. It was my first REAL Trap Shoot. There were about 25 or 30 women shooting in 3 different divisions. I shot in the Beginner, and although I shot like crap, worse than I had for a while, I still managed to come in 3rd in my division. I won a diamond ring, some Browning stuff, ect.... It POURED AND POURED on us! It was hard to shoot in the pouring rain- wet gun, wet cheek, wet trigger, wet feet, everything was drenched! (Thus, the cute attire we have on.)
All the guns- .
Me on the left, Heather on the right- cute hats, we know.
Me and Heather- just wishing these trophies
were ours. (We were going to trick our hubbies.) I've GOT to get me a PINK VEST!
Yep- I'm stylin'!
It really was fun even though it was a little like shooting in a swimming pool. The trap club promised us next year to do it earlier in the year so it's not such terrible weather.
Oh, and thanks babe for my new gun!!! (Winchester sX3- fastest gun in the west...) love you!
