Lots of things - Pull!

So it's been a while, but I've been pretty busy. I have a couple of big topics to cover, but due to the fact that some of them might be totally boring to some of you, I'm going to break them up into separate posts, all labelled "Lots of things- something" to make this easy for you, my loyal reader(s?). This way, you can decide if you want to read or not. Your fate is in your own hands.
So today I did something I've always wanted to do - my uncle and I went to shoot clays. It was amazing - way more fun than I thought it was going to be, and I thought it would be a lot of fun. I was pretty apprehensive at first, considering I had never even held a gun before, but as it turns out, I caught on pretty quickly. I don't mean to brag, but I hit my first three clays. Now I'll brag - the owners of the place said that a beginner is doing very well if he/she gets 17 out of the first 50 targets. I hit 29 on my first time through the course (you can't see, but I'm literally patting myself on the back right now). The course is set up kind of like a golf course, so you walk around to all of the different stations, each with a different set-up of trees and angles and position of the clay-thrower things (no idea what they're called). Then you say "Pull" and shoot. It was great fun. On the first round, an older guy who competes on a national level shot with us and gave my uncle and I a few pointers, which were very helpful (btw, I beat my uncle on both rounds we did). He was amazing, and a pretty darned good teacher. All in all, it was a very fun day, and I would very much like to do it again. I haven't checked yet, but I'm hoping to have a sweet bruise on my shoulder. I'll keep you posted (that's a little blogger's inside joke, I don't expect you people to get it).
