Spring!! Or not....

Mother Nature has played a trick on us yet again. She let us believe that we were finally goign to get some warm weather, then BAM, she dumps rain (and possibly snow) on us. But at least we got in some good fun on those sun-shiney days. Take a look!
I bought Todd a Ruger SR9c for his birthday (lucky boy) and we thought we'd try it out. We went with my Dad, Matt, Krysta, Paityn, and Meg up Bountiful Canyon on Saturday. Between us all we had 3 hand guns and 1 shotgun. Todd and I did well with out new gun, as you can see below...
See that forehead shot? Yes...that was all mine, thank you very much. Matt talked me into printing off this target, and my Dad made a bet to see who could take the first head-shot. Aweful, I know. Sorry all!

After shooting the handguns for a while we decided to try out some skeet shooting. For anyone who doesn't know, you fling a clay disk in the air and shoot it with a shotgun. Simple as that...or is it? It took us some time, but I think we got the hang of it. Todd and I both maxed out at 3 out of 5, not to bad for our first day! But I think it's safe to say that we've all found a delightfully fun new hobby!
