Skeet Shooting

Rod wants Tina to learn how to skeet shoot.  He has been talking about it for a couple of weeks.  Saturday, everything lined up where he finally got Tina to go skeet shooting with him.  We went to Granny's house because she has a field that is perfect for it.

Prior to going, Tina determined that she is left eye dominate.  Rod did a little research that suggested that if you are left eye dominate to just learn to shoot a shotgun left handed.  She started out using Tori's 20 gauge.  Out of the first 25 skeet she missed all of them with the 20 gauge.  Then Rod switched her to my Granddaddy's 12 gauge and after 2 or 3 more she finally hit one!!! Rod was on the edge knowing that if she didn't hit one soon, it would all be over and not any fun for her any more!

The end of the day had her laughing and loving it.  She is sore (something about how she was holding it really hurt her left wrist) and we went back again today to do just a little more.  Today she managed to hit the 3rd skeet that she shot at- WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT - and that with her wrist and shoulder both sore!

Might have to zoom in, but this one was a HIT

Rod was all smiles pulling the skeet thrower

She really had a lot of fun

Rod got to take his turn as well - this one is also a HIT

I tried many different angles and shots to try to get the person shooting in the frame as well as the skeet.  I only did 2 video's of Tina and here is the one where she hit the skeet.
