my weekend shooting shit
Posted: Sun Jul 01, 2012 7:32 pm
well folks had a thoroughly grand weekend out! had some fun on the lincoln ghost walk which took in the oldest and arguably nicest part of town around the castle and cathedral.
on the tour we were taken to one of the most haunted streets in the town not that i believe in that rubbish, and we were told if we photo some of the areas around we may get strange effects on the cameras whoooooooo
well i found something more interesting an alarmingly bent street light. was like this when i found it honest....
but on to the shooting and here is me taking out 3 out of 4 targets, please note this is only my second go, on my first go i took out all of them
the instructor was saying to me "you got a bit cocky there didn't you son?" :lol:
and if you dont believe me here is the score card for the day with a piece of clay pigeon that my mate retrieved for good measure. The actual using of the shotgun was great, it was an over and under double barrel. i was told to not actually aim down the sights but to point the gun roughly where i wanted to shoot and aim just under the target. worked a treat only missed once! the second row of shots btw the way is a error by the staff, beginners luck i suppose! was surprised by how far the spent cartidges flew back, one landed on me arm.... HOT! the gun was very comfortable to use and it didnt hurt one bit, i took my time getting ready and putting it into my shoulder properly only hurt once when i didnt get it in properly
the last row of scores is for archery.....
we didnt even know we were getting archery and it was a nice surprise! aiming was pretty odd though, the instructer said dont aim down the arrow, but i couldnt help but do it! i just made it up as i went along, manged to get a 5 pointer in the middle of the target though, no evidence but the score sheet sadly
the fellow below is my Tom aka Tomcat who is much better looking and makes a more convincing looking bowman than the lumbering sight that is me...
