texas: guns!

we went trap shooting with sam and dave - it was a gloomy day,
but turns out i'm an ok shot!

ammo.

dave from college (harvey mudd).

sam (from cmc) started out by being the lifeguard.

has anyone ever done this before? when you stand by these microphones, you shout "pull!" and a disc goes flying out of a box and you shoot at it. if you hit it, it shatters to pieces. it's like duck hunt!

there is also another area at this range, where you go from station to station and shoot discs at each one. it's like golf, but with guns!!

Wow, you're doing some serious Texas stuff this week. It took me reading a few posts to realize that you have been there for a few day and weren't just picking up some barbecue on the way through. What's the occasion for the visit? Family? Friends? Life-long dream of visiting the Lone Star State? So far, my biggest "oh, I totally wish I could do that" moment while reading your Texas posts is this shooting range.

i think that looks like fun!

i was supposed to go shooting with those disk thingies at john john's wedding but then he called it off (better to call off the wedding).

so next step is shooting golf?
