my grandpa was a cowboy....

went to the firing range with terry and his mom & step dad. i can't even hold the gun up!! this is only my second time firing a rifle - did once years and years ago. scared friends who were staying over nite - but that's another story......
anyway - i was shooting from about 30 yards and was only a couple of inches from the target on all five shots. i may have found a new hobby. no, i don't want to kill anything. but i do want to know that if i had to shoot something that was attacking us in the bush i would be able to defend myself.

all i need now is my hat, boots and a good horse.....
