Today we did some target practice and Ed showed me how to shoot. I first had a go on the 22 which is the smaller brown rifle. I shot a few rounds at the target 50metres away and hit just slightly to the left of my target which I was happy about. After that we walked back 100metres and he once again showed me how to shoot with his 22-250 rifle which is a big boy. So I laid down on the grass flipped up the stand went through my safety procedure and took my aim. Bang! The noise rattled through my body, adrenalin pumping, I then cocked the gun and put it on safety before checking my target through the scope to see where I hit it. I was aiming for the outer ring of the circles at the top, I saw that I had got it a cm to the left of my target area and I was ecstatic, not only had I managed to hit the target I nearly got it bang on from 150metres away on my first shot. It was really thrilling to be able to shoot two rifles and hit the target all while not injuring me or anyone else. Needless to say I was very proud of myself :) We then checked the sheep to find that a lamb had got stuck down the bank of the creek. So I had to rescue it, twice because it jumped back down and into the water. We then drove to Donald's (an old fashioned Aussie farmer and a true gentleman) we cut down some trees for him and stayed for dinner. After a lovely evening there we headed to Graham's another older farmer who we had taken some logs from Donald's to give to him. We unloaded about 2 tonnes of wood of the yute and then headed back home. A long but thrilling day, I can't wait to go out shooting again, I feel a new hobby coming on ;)
