Southern Boys Love Their Toys

Future Hubster is a true southern gentleman down to his core, from his love of sweet tea and fried okra to his obsession with hunting...and let me tell you, the boy loves his firearms :-) To be honest y'all, I've never ever liked guns. Growing up, my family never owned guns or had anything to do with them. However, the Future Hubster has made me see that with the proper precautions and the correct training, firearms aren't quite as scary as I had always believed. Don't get me wrong...I'm still not a huge fan and I prefer them locked away in a gun case :-) Although I've had many gun-saftey lessons over the past two years and have been to the shooting range with Future Hubster I had never actually shot a gun. Well folks, today was the day. I went with Future Hubster, one of his brothers, and a friend of ours to shoot skeet at the local skeet shooting range.

Future Hubster is a wonderful teacher...I was SO SCARED! Since I was shooting with a shotgun I knew there would be some kick after the shot and I was pretty scared of that!

So I was right to be afraid of the kickback...it HURT!!! I am laughing here out of pure shock! Although I did shoot the gun and I almost hit my target. Ha! I think this was a one time thing for me! And no, I am not getting paid by Job Link for an advertisment! ;-)

This girl rocked at skeet shooting! I was so impressed!!! She was also much braver than I was and hit half of her targets! Go Laurie!! :-)

Here's the Future Brother-in-Law :-) Great shot, Daniel!

I picked a keeper :-)

As fun as today was, I think I'll stick to watching the shooting from now on. I'll pick up a glass of sweet tea over a shooting range any day ;-) Oh, and don't forget the fried okra!

"Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm." Ephesians 6:11-13
