Guns are Fun
This weekend Phil invited a bunch of us to his parents' new cottage. I was
surprised when we got there, because this cottage was to other cottages as a
palace is to a house. Great place, with acres and acres of land, lakefront,
and a killer view.
With the land came the opportunity for some target practice. Phil owns a .22 calibre rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun. I had never fired anything like those before, and it was a great experience. The shotgun was quite a powerful thing, with OO buckshot the kickback was really a new experience. Exploding cans of club soda and cinderblocks as targets with the rifle was good fun too.
Additionally, we spent the weekend fishing, barbecuing, and the like. However, the guns were the best part. Novelty? Perhaps. But it's rare to take a candid photo of me really into something, and when this photo was taken I was downright giddy.
