So you think you can shoot?
Ha! Top this if you can...
Kids continue to have a really fun time learning to shoot.
Learning and applying correct basic fundamentals, starting with a single shot .22 rifle.
"It is the person behind the gun, and not the gun - right? " - Kids
"Yep!" -we adults
Tin cans, spinner targets, paper targets and challenging themselves to improve, means "hunkering down" and shooting a smaller target, or shooting at a further distance.
Seems the kids were in need of some serious shooting to relieve a bit of "school homework-itis".
There is also a new Eating Joint they really want to check out.
Parents are so darn easy ....
Seems a jar of opened olives jumped out of the fridge and jumped onto a kitchen counter all by themselves and ..."we are not going to eat them now".
informed the mom.
Kid gets olives out of trash and sticks in another container to hid them from mom back in the fridge...
Said kid and I discuss ...C&C.
Conning and Conniving is so much better than Strategy and Tactics
Once initial C&C is discussed, we share with the rest of the Wild Bunch.
<mischievous grins, hand rubbing, winks, and head nods>
Later down at the range...
If we can shoot a hole clean through an olive , can we all go to that new place to eat?
"Yeah, right! Sure we can..." - replied adults
<Yank! Set that hook!>
Told you this C&C was good didn't I?
I was ushered in as AU ( Adopted Uncle) to assure fair and reporting of targets.
I go out to set up Olives, some wanted the pimento left in , some wanted it removed as concerns of "bullet deflection" might occur.
Kids check ammunition, getting the "bestest one" for the task.
Dust and all off sights...
Special routines , good luck rituals,...
Some want to shoot prone, some from a bench, one kneeling with a sling.
Blade of grass is tossed up...checking the wind...
After all the kids fired their one shot, guns made safe, range clear I walked alone downrange with box of compartments and marked for each kid the olive they had shot.
Everyone had a hole in it
"They seem to all be black instead of green" one mom inquired.
Einstein's Theory of Connectivity I replied
Hey, it sounds like something he would come up with.
I mean a bullet hitting something green it going to turn it black...right?
The eating place was enjoyed by all and the Black Lab seemed to enjoy polishing off the rest of the black olives...
