Look out!

Last weekend Tyler and I went out shooting with some ward members and got to test some of their gear. It was fun!

Tyler and I are both calm, kind of quiet, especially at church. We kind of keep to ourselves, and I think most people know we are on the shy side. If you don't know Tyler well, you would never be able to read him, heck we have been married almost 9 years, and I can't tell what he's thinking! jk

I grew up with brothers. We went out shooting often. I was a kind of a tomboy... you wouldn't guess that looking at me today.

Anyway after the targets got hung up one of the ladies went first, she had never shot before, so Tyler says to me "You better do better then her." I think I made him proud. I am a pretty good shot and I guess that surprised them. One lady said to me, "I will never look at you the same, walking down the hall, looking frail..." uh, thanks, I think.

Then it was Tyler's turn, and by the time we were done they were saying. "We know who not to mess with!" There was just a lot of surprise, and that was awesome!

The next day at church I said to a lady I work in Primary with (whose daughter went with us) "We had fun with your daughter..." Her mouth dropped "YOU are the Monica she was talking about?!?!" She was completely surprised.

This is my target:
The highest one was me aiming for the head- could have been a little higher...

I got my .22 shots in the X or 9s, the .380 in the X and outer X and the .45 in the 9s. Not too shabby- the last time I went out was like 3 years ago.

This is Tyler's:

Can you see all those hits in the X- that was the .22. He was aiming for the 9 with the .380, and the 8 with the .45. He was expecting to .45 to have more kick (they kept talking about mussel flash, etc, but it wasn't bad)

We also went to town on some bottles with a 9mm but I didn't get any pictures.

And a special thanks to Tyler's fabulous sister who watched the kids while we were gone! You are the best!
