Shooting

Two days ago, I shot my first RIFLE BULLET in my life. I didnt think I would ever TOUCH a real gun ever, but now i got more than i bargained!


I went over to my homestay's friend's house, Dave, and he took me and gus over to the hills to hunt some turkey. We sat at the back of his truck and after a very uncomfortable rocky trip we saw a herd of turkeys gathering at the top of a steep hill. Dave asked two of us boys to go chase them down but when we reached up there the damned turkeys flew offf like couple of paddocks away to another farm. The wind was quite strong and it took themm quite far. So......HARD LUCK for us!


so we went back and Dave set up tin can targets about half a km away and we tried shooting our hearts out. The gun's called a .22, got a pretty cool scope and fires a soft paaak when you pull the trigger. Here's it.
