Rian, his dad and brother are hunters. They hunt for elk. It grosses me out, and I don't ever want to see it or taste it, but they do it, and I am fine with it. I am not against it. Well, before you go hunting, you have to "sight in" your gun. Meaning you have to make sure that you can hit a target by looking through the scope of the gun. Rian and I headed down to Canon City this weekend to partake in this.
Since I was going, I decided that I would learn how to shoot some of the handguns that Rian's dad has. I was nervous for a few reasons, but most notably the fact that Brett decided to tell me right before I was going to shoot for t
he first time, not to aim to high and hit the rocks in the distance, because the bullets could ricochet and come back and kill me. Great. So I was nervous, I was watching everyone else do it, and I still wanted to try.

So I was nervous, I was watching everyone else do it, and I still wanted to try. We were shooting at a target that is a piece of paper that you staple to a piece of ply wood. Also, Rian's dad put some soda cans on a tall weed for us to aim for. Brett and Rian hit the target a bunch. I think I may have only hit it twice. What you should know, is that the gun I was shooting, a 9mm, can hold 16 bullets and Rian had bought 100 bullets, so we were shooting a lot. I probably shot around 20 myself. Well, at the end, we all had one last shot at the target and the cans. Brett and Rian hit the target, no one hit the can until it was my turn. I nailed one of the cans right off that stupid weed, so then I turned my attention to the target. I hit the target and knocked it right over! It was actually a pretty awesome feeling knowing that I had hit the target and the boys didn't.
I saved the can to show everyone my proudest accomplishment...with a gun
, and surprise, surprise, Rian accidentally "threw it away" at his parents house. I think he just wanted to get rid of the evidence that I am a better shot than him. So I am waiting for his parents to take the can out of the trash, take a picture of it, and send it to me so that I can prove it.
