Out Shooting

     Learning about myself all over again means that I get to learn new hobbies and talents I never knew I had. One that I have enjoyed a lot more lately is target shooting with rifles. My family has always sported guns and with a retired sniper father, I have the best teacher to help me learn all I want to know.
     Today I went out with him while he was trying out a Remington .308 he just customized. We came to find that one didn't do too well today, but we also brought my two personal favorites :) I have fallen in love with a semi-custom Cooper .223 and a customized Remington .308. My dad is a .308 junkie so we always have a few on hand, only problem is they're a little much for tiny me to handle, but this one has a large, heavy barrel and a big scope, making it a little more comfortable to shoot. And lets just say today I killed it. That .308 and I are becoming fast friends and with it I could do a lot of damage haha. Soon comes the day when hopefully I will be competent in many areas of the sport of shooting, but for right now I'll enjoy being able to make a nice group of three.
      What I love about shooting is the stress it relieves. Once out in Thatcher I was having a rough week or month or something and I took a friend out to the desert with my old .22 rifle and we shot at a paper I taped to a tree. I probably shot 50 bullets at that thing, and by the end I felt so much better! Maybe its a little violent, but it feels good to leave it all on the target and sometimes its necessary to blow that thing to shreds haha.
     So if anyone would like to fulfil my Christmas list, I would love a .223 of my own, thats definitely on my wish list and next step is to make the target a little more challenging and to go hunting :)
