Gun Fun

So my good friend Alex, who I met in my singles ward my freshman year, invited us to go shooting with him last Monday. Unbelievably, neither of us were working! And the rain stopped just in time! It was so fun - thanks for being one of our only single friends who still hangs out with us, Alex! ;)

This is the setup we had of stuff to shoot - Alex had been collecting stuff people were getting rid of (set of Corelle dishes, a dresser, CDs that had all been put on iPods) and bought a TV at the D.I. We also had plenty of phone books and old text books.
Okay, this was so cool - we just hand-threw the plates and shot them like clay pigeons. I threw this one for Shaun and we heard a "ping!" but it didn't break. So we went and looked at it and you can see the marks the bebes from the shotgun left - WITHOUT BREAKING IT! Go Corelle! The rest we hit shattered, as expected, but we were amazed! Another amazing thing is that the other plates and bowls we threw but missed when we shot at them didn't break when they hit the ground - not a single one. We gathered up like, 20 that we missed and threw them again.

This is just the same plate, but Shaun is so cute I had to put this picture in.

Here's all our guns. Couple shotguns, couple rifles, couple handguns, couple I don't remember what they are, but we had some pretty big bullets....

I wanted to shoot a smiley face in the back of a drawer. Alex thought I was silly. But I had success from 10 feet away!
The next two posts are videos from this adventure. Alex made me shoot like a gangsta. The empty bullets were flying at my head and one landed in my shirt and almost burned me! The other is of Shaun shooting a CD as I threw it. If you look really close you can see the case, booklet, and CD all go flying different ways. I have been shooting a million times, but this time was definitely noteable. We had so much fun!
