the past two weekends have been gun crazy fun!

Ah hello there! long time no talk! well i have been enjoying the last of my summer before school starts with the excitment of shooting guns. My friend Drew has a gun of his own and his family owns the rest. I got to go shooting with him two weekends ago and this past weekend had wes and nick join me. we got to shoot a total of six differnet guns which was awesome. I have only shot a gun once before and it was only a few shots. This time drew and i went through around 1000 rounds two weeks ago and even more this past weekend! It was dope. Of course proper gun safety was practiced at all times!!! Down range!!!!!! it was it yeld out when noone is allowed to shoot. see even with beer in the mix we can be safe! The best part of going shooting though for me was being able to be in the middle of no where up on a mountain up some logging road. we were up on the hills above Plain washington and over looking lake wenatchee some 8 to 10 miles away. Pretty cool if ya ask me!
So i have never been too fond of guns as the are scary but with my boy drew around, there is more of an easy feeling towards them because i have someone with me who is smart and familiar with them. So shooting guns can be fun and not just terrifying! And by the way its def. not like the movies show! haha hitting a moving target is way harder than it looks haha. I had a hard time hittin a phone book with a shotgun only 10-15 yards away up about 15 feet in the air. So don't let the damn movies fool ya!
At night it was nice to relax out by the campfire on the wenatchee river where Drew's family has property over there on the river. It is some 10 mins away i think from matt lords property on the river.
So i had a dandy time shootin! AS well did nick and wes. This experience was nicks first time shooting a gun and it was hilarious to see because io loaded up a clip of 9mm and handed it to nick and on purpose didn't tell him he should have worn ear plugs and after the first to rounds he turns going nuts that it was so loud and his ears were ringing! haha then Drew yelled that he had to finish the clip before gettin plugs in haha. Always a good time. There was your initiation nick to the gun club with drew haha. I had experienced the same thing the weekend before.
Well all another post tomotrrow! talk to ya then. Peace and love
This would be when nick took his first shots! the pic. is small but haha no ear plugs(ps i think he said last night his right ear still is not the same.)
This is the view from the first weekend looking at lake wenatchee. It is further away than that as i was zoomed in as far as i far as it could.
A sunset shot from saturday night. lovely!
