you'll shoot yer eye out, kid!

several months ago, when i was talking to the guys from the japanese church, i heard them discussing a potential men’s ministry activity - they were gonna go duck hunting or something cool like that!

“oooh!  i wanna go!” i begged them.

“dude, it’s MEN’s ministry!” they rebutted.  “you can go to the WOMEN’s ministry.”

yeah, and drink tea, eh?  that’s what the ladies had scheduled.... tea and crumpets or something else like that....  SOOOO not as cool as hunting, at least to me =)

when i went to school that week some of my students and i were talking about the injustice of it all, and they decided to invite me to go with them!  they invited me last weekend but i couldn’t go because of all the hot air ballooning and festivities, so we rescheduled for this sunday.  i met them at school and then had to go back to their house to pick up the guns cuz they couldn’t have a gun without me in the car =) and then we went to inland fish and game. 

that’s me!  and that’s john to my left and seth to my right!

so they’re REALLY good, i think they missed 5 or less while i only hit 3 total.  out of a box of 25 bullets.  i guess really, i hit 6 out of 2 25 rounds, so i was consistently bad =) hahahha… but i had so much fun doing it.  i realized AFTER the whole affair that i was shooting right handed and using my dominant left eye to aim and that’s why my eyesight was off!  hahahhaha!  silly me…

so then we went over to the other side where all the rifles were at and i tried shooting at the gong all the way in the back and i used my -right- eye this time and was way more accurate.  although that could also be because i had a stationary target.

but man it was so fun!  even though i only got 3 clays each time, i -did- hit the gong several times.  and i don’t think i bruised my shoulder =) so tx seth and john for bringing me!
