It just so happened that Secret Agent Man could not make it to trap shooting practice last night. So, this left me as the lone family representative. That wouldn't be so bad, except that Secret Agent Man has taken up some of the coaching duties.
I don't even care to shoot a gun, much less use one strictly for sport. Once again, I had to enter into man territory. Signs were everywhere at the sportsman's club.
They even had special ones on the restroom doors.
These almost leave me speechless.
The Deerslayer introduced me to the concept of loading the thrower,
and then setting up the speakers.
I have to say that the view was beautiful while we went about our work.
Soon the shooters arrived and practice began.
I made it out of there alive without any of that manliness rubbing off on me.
And, The Deerslayer shot a 99/100.
That's some good shootin', as the old-timers like to say.
ha, "pointers".....this reminds me of when i was a kid. our family belonged to the local gun club and we'd camp there almost every weekend. there were lots of shooting events for us kids too and the adults seemed to have shooting events that went on all weekend. luckily though, there were so many kids around that we all found stuff to do like ride our bikes, catch lizards, etc...good memories!
ReplyDeleteWow 99/100 IS really good SHOOTIN'!!!! I am impressed with your going too! GOOD for you!
ReplyDeleteI would prefer the view as well! :)
Bravo for you doing that!
ReplyDeleteI also had to go into this strange territory. Little did I know that when I went along for a little visit to watch the Mister, that I would be 'filling in' for the missing button pusher and with earplugs in, I was supposed to hear when they said "pull", oh boy. xo
ReplyDeleteI guess it's early. It took me a minute to decide whether I was a pointer or a setter. LOL!
ReplyDeletePointers and setters....lol. As a dog person, I can appreciate that!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get the pointer or the setter until I read Lisa's comment. I'm getting kind of slow on the uptake in my old age. Oh, well. Good for you that you went and did good.
ReplyDeleteThat is real tongue in cheek country humor! My son introduced us to a show called 'Top Shot' It was great - marksmen from different fields competed - believe it or not I am the one not Dearest who would pick up a gun. But, I hold on to all my girlishness as much as I can :)
ReplyDeleteKathy
I was never good at this, but I liked the atmosphere...
ReplyDeletetoo cute! and go deerslayer!!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent for the Deerslayer!
ReplyDeletelove the signs....way to go for your son....your a great Mom for filling in...
ReplyDeleteI love going shooting and what cute little signs!
ReplyDeleteThat is something I've never tried. I think I'd go for a walk! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I LOVE those Signs! Thats just awesome:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a good mom you are! Congrats to your son for all that good shootin'! Have I told you that my guys are all gun fanatics? Both of our sons were in a small bore rifle 3 position shooting team which won national championships. Our youngest went to the Olympic Training Center several times and got a scholarship to Univ of Tennesse on their shooting team. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteToo funny- wouldn't want to catch any of that manliness! Good shooting for the Deerslayer!
ReplyDeleteYou would make a good father, except that you are such a good mother.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post.
ReplyDeleteI think Deerslayer needs mom on the range more often... shootin' too...
ReplyDeleteDann in Ohio
I would have thought you would handle a gun like a piece of cake!
ReplyDeleteWe are Redneck household and these signs would work great in our house.
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me all the different ways we designate the men's room from the ladies' room. At least people are still thinking and being creative. That's encouraging! Nice job of stepping up and in for your guy. We have to do that on occasion.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and music.
ReplyDeleteAlso had to share the shooting bit on FB. Can here the shots as I sit here. They shoot across the road ever Wed. Don't you just love the country and small town life....here in Richwood, OH
Ha! Guns in the restroom... no good can come of this, I believe. Good Grief!
ReplyDeletegood for you!! it's fun, isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteTHAT SIGN IS HILARIOUS!!
ReplyDeleteLoved this and you look good with hair on your chest.
Love,

You score brownie points for walking in secret agent man's shoes. Deer Slayer is closer to wearing Secret Agent Man shoes.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Those bathroom signs are hysterical!!
ReplyDeleteLove the signs! My son is involved as well, so I know of what you speak.
ReplyDeleteLove this series.... looks like fun, it's been a long time since I did any target practice!
ReplyDeleteThe restroom signs are the best, haha
