Eat Yeet Skeet Retreat
There is this club on campus called MuKappa. It's run by two missionaries, Uncle Tuck and Aunt Becky. They host pizza nights almost every weekend, chai nights, and international dinners. Today, they took us all to a friend's ranch to shoot.
It started out with a super fun ride in a pickup truck. It had a bench seat and I was right in the middle. It was amazing and such a rush. We arrived in style and I was greeted by a big, very enthusiastic dog. He came bounding over and almost knocked me over. We went out to the field and some people were already enthusiastic and ready to shoot. I, however, was a little nervous. I was sitting in the field, waiting, and the same friendly dog decided he really liked me. He came over to me again and I petted him. However, he wanted more. He climbed over me, stepping over me. It was hilarious and a bit too much at the same time. I leaned back, hoping he would leave, but he walked all over me. That happened again a while later.
Then, it was time to shoot. I got up there and I used the smaller gun first. It was a shotgun, a 14 something. I'm not totally sure what kind it was, but it was a little heavy and very long. Uncle Tuck helped me hold the gun and adjust my stance properly. He helped me pull the gun into my shoulder so the recoil wouldn't be too much. I tried 3 times and then I finally got it. I HIT THE TARGET!
I took a little break and then went back for another try. This time, I used the bigger gun. Its recoil scared me. I gave it back and went back to the smaller gun. It was amazing and such a rush. I loved it and felt so so powerful.
Then, I was done shooting and we decided to get into the pool. I hadn't been in a pool in about 9 years. I got in and had a blast in there too. Then, we got changed and had some lunch. After lunch, it was time to leave. We got into the backseat of a car and we were out cold. (There is a hilarious picture of me asleep).
