A day at the Deer Lake Range

This weekend we have really enjoyed the long weekend off. Our last day of school was on Wednesday and we don't go back until Tuesday. Greg and I have relaxed, walked to town, played Wii, planned our trip out East, cleaned and just hung out. It has been really nice. However, today we had the opportunity to go out and try something new.

There is a man in the community who invited us to go and shoot guns. Of course we choose the day that is rainy, but that wasn't going to stop us. He took us out towards the dam to fire off the guns.

He brought both a shot gun and a rifle. Greg and Amanda shot both guns, but I only shot the shot gun. I didn't like the kick back, but he also ran out of bullets. Enjoy a few pictures of our adventure.

This is the lake we stopped at to shoot over. He wanted us to shoot over something open because we are inexperienced and he didn't want our bullets bouncing off things.

Me learning to shoot a shot gun!

Apparently I make really funny faces when I shoot guns. It was really loud!
Amanda looks like a pro with that shot gun. You can see the smoke from it going off!
