Shooting Fun

I took my sons to a friend's ranch and we had a blast today: his sons and my sons helped clean up his fixer upper home while my friend and I put in some ceiling fans. We had lunch with another friend of mine 5 miles away but out in the country, they are practically next door neighbors. Afterwards we spent 1.5 hours shooting our guns. The most fun was skeet shooting: I got a clay pigeon thrower as a "ranch warming" gift and we ended up shooting 150 rounds (we did a little target shooting first to get a feel for 20 gauge gun before throwing the clay pigeons). I was surprised to see my younger son get into it. I was much worse than when I last went skeet shooting: my younger son may have done better than I today.
