Skeet shooting

Before heading out, Jon and his neighbor Dave took us target shooting at a very cool park near by that includes a shooting range. Colorado is rated the healthiest state in the nation and so much is geared towards the outdoors. Bike trails along the roads are abundant, and the clean cool air is inviting for one to get outside.....in the summer at least :) Pictured above I am shooting a over under (or is it under over?) 20 gauge shotgun. I was a bit nervous at first, worried about the amount of "kickback" and the condition of my shoulder. But after taking aim and squeezing the trigger, there were no worries. We were shooting at clay discs that are catapulted through the air from a device that you pull a lever. I missed my first shot, but made at least 90% of them after that. I was amazed at my accuracy and the boys called me a "natural". Maybe I have found my new sport? Guy had a tough time of it, as the vibration of the shot bothered his broken finger. Pictured on right, Jon and Dave are shooting doubles as I pull the lever that shoots the flying discs into the air. Both were excellent marksmen. Dave was shooting his 12 gauge shotgun, and that had quite a kick to it and I dared not try it. We spent a couple of hours shooting before it was time for Guy and I to get back on the road and head back East. We seriously discussed staying on the road for a year as neither of us want to return to reality. The 36 hour ride home is cutting it close as Guy's flight is in 48 hours. Neither of us want to leave.....
