I've never been too excited about guns. Adrian encouraged me to practice with a handgun about once every year or so, so I would know how to shoot one if I ever needed it. I'm still not real excited about the whole gun thing, I mean they still scare me, but I have found that I do kind of enjoy skeet shooting. This is how it happened... One day Adrian asked me to throw some clay pigeons for him, but I had difficulty with the thrower...so he threw them for me and I used the shotgun to try to hit them. I don't think I even hit any, but it captured my attention and I thought it was challenging, and I thought maybe guns might be a little bit fun. So, it wasn't long before I wanted to try it again and so for FHE activity about a week ago, we went up into the woods and used the thrower and went skeet shooting and I actually hit some! I think perhaps this qualifies as a sport. There is the timing of things, aiming, hitting a moving target in the air, etc., and I have to admit, I liked it. I guess Adrian thought maybe we were on a roll and he'd see what else I might enjoy, so over the weekend we tried rifle shooting and a different handgun than the one I usually use, and they were okay, but my favorite is the...let me see if I can get this right...the Browning pump action 12 gauge shotgun. So, there you have it! I think I might have found a new hobby!
