Something I never wanted to do...

I did it. Yep -- peer pressure strikes again! So many reasons why I should -- "you're cool if you do", "it's fun and challenging" and the important one..."you need to know how to use it, just in case". True, although I probably wouldn't be able to hurt the animal anyway. Too tenderhearted. I suppose if my child was in danger I'd have more motivation. Anyway, I took my turn with a small .22 and also with a bigger .22 rifle. I didn't hit the target (nowhere close) and found myself too shaky to hold the thing still! Really, I couldn't get over the idea that I was touching the "devil itself"! Being Canadian and brainwashed with all the anti-gun laws probably doesn't help. Anyway, I did it and didn't find myself wanting to do it again.
I hope I never need to...
