SOOO much this weekend...part 1 - Shooting Shit

Many wonderful new experiences this weekend :)

First off, my first week of doing more of the sugar detox diet went well.  I significantly decreased my carbs and fat intake.  I did still enjoy some beer, but not sure if that is going to change, especially in the summer months.  I feel better and am really enjoying all the fresh vegetables in our diet now.  I drink water, black coffee, or an occasional beer....no soda.

Saturday I went to the "WITO" (Women in the outdoors) event near Volga, SD.  It was a great day and it gave women a chance to learn, ask questions and have some hands on help with many guns.

I shot the following:

Archery - this scared me the most for some reason, but it was like the yoga of weaponry!!  LOVED IT!
It took me awhile to pop my balloon and get a good grouping, but once I had the hang of it, it was proper body alignment and breathing that got me through.

I the worked my way to a 9mm, then 45mm, then a 22 revolver

Then I had some big boys :)
357 Magnum
44 Magnum....swoon!
I shot that target like I meant business, and it felt so good!

I then became aquainted with the shotguns and rifles.

20 gauge shotgun was a bit light for my liking. (pump action)
I really like the 12 gauge shotgun and Mossberg turkey gun!!!  I thought shooting stationary targets wasn't too bad, but shooting clays...no way!!!  BUT I HIT 3 of 7 thrown :)  I was told that was as good as most men !! YAY!!  I can't wait to go shooting with my husband!

But then.....they pulled out something and I was in lust at first sight.
AR 223/AR 15 and a Glock

I rocked the Glock....6 for 6 on the targets~!
Then I want to AR 15 sitting....not great but got the feel for it.
AR15 prone....6 for 6 at 100 yards!!

I then took that bad boy, stood and hit 5 for 6 standing :)  I am ready for the zombie apocolypse and loved every damn second of it!!


Overall this was an extradinary experience for my girlfriends and I.  WE are so excited to do it again, and I am hoping my husband and I can do more shooting together.  I am already looking at guns!  Fell for a AR15 set up to shoot .22 :)  in pink of couse.
