We went out to Larry and Suzy Rittger's tonight to shoot some guns. I think that some people that know us would be surprised to hear that we did that, maybe because we don't look the "hunting" part. But actually, it was loads of fun. Bill went out to get some practice in before December when he and some of the Rittger guys (and in-laws) go deer hunting. So Bill started out shooting with a 12-gauge and worked his way down to the 20-gauge. Eventually I got to take a turn and I decided to just use the 20-gauge. It didn't look like it had as much kick-back as the 12-gauge. I hit all three of my targets! :) Bill and Larry and Matt did a lot more shooting then, and before supper Amber decided that she wanted to try and shoot a pumpkin that Suzy had provided. So Amber used the 22 (think, like a bb gun, only a little bigger). She did really well and managed to hit the pumpkin 4 out of 6 times. Bill went back to the 12-gauge at the end of the evening and did really well after practicing for the afternoon. Maybe in December he will get a buck and we can mount the head and have deer sausage!!
And, I do have pictures, but they are on Suzy's camera, so hopefully she can email them to me and I will post them later. It was a lot of fun!

It always seems like going to the Rittgers is fun no matter what you do! You are better than me. I make Jim keep his mounted Deer head at the river (just doesn't fit my decor!). He doesn't mind..more people see it there anyway.
