been target shooting

[cherrysmum]

I'm pretty darn good.....I prefer to shoot the shotgun from the hip..it kills my shoulder...I didn't miss the target either

[ellanoize]

I love to go plinging, I never used a shotgun much, I had a friend who used to go to the mountains and shoot, he had aRuger mini 14, 22 rifle, and a couple small caliber handguns. It was a lot of fun.
Were you practicing for the Bambi season???

[cherrysmum]

no..as much as I would like to get rid of the long legged rodents (deer)..I can't shoot one...however my brother is here visiting me...he brought his bow contraption along with several hunting rifles....he plans on bagging a few...and my gosh the turkeys are unbelievable..they are everywhere....

[ellanoize]

I never really noticed Turkeys before but this year I see them everytime I drive out in the country.
Here is a photo of a young one that I photographed last weekend as we headed out to the lake.



I would like to try my hand at some bow target shooting. Way back in the stone ages I shot some in school, but it was just a regular Bow, not these new compound bows with sights and balancing arms and GPS and heat seeking arrows

I haven't had fried squirril in years & years, smothered in its own Gravey with a mound of smashed 'taters and some home made buiscuits....Mmmm that sounds good

[cherrysmum]

that does sound good....I wonder if there are fat free squirrels

[cherrysis]

Squirrel is so tough...ya know my friends father who just passed...well he was the one that served me fried squirrel way back when and we had rabbit and venison that night too. I loved the venison but still won't touch rabbit or squirrel.
