We hit up the shooting range a couple of weeks back.
I’d never been before. But it turns out I’m not too shabby with the ol’ shotgun.
I showed the boys up and impressed the old guys so much they invited me back for “Ladies Day”. And you know what? I might just go.
I think what I’m most excited about though is that I’ve finally shown an aptitude in some sort of sport!
That’s right, shooting is a sport and by golly you best believe I’ll argue the point.
Anyhow, about my outfit. A lot of thought was put into what actually constitutes a “shooting outfit”. I went for docs, leggings, an old band T-shirt, and most importantly – a puffy vest with fur trim.
It’s the vest that really made it. And I can tell you right now, it wasn’t just fashionable, it was functional too…
Shotguns have a nasty kick and while the boys sported some nice bruises I was saved by my puffy vest. It even got props from the old dudes.

The best! Where is the shooting range? Frank and I have wanted to go shooting for a while. I’m afraid of guns but think it could be fun in a controlled no guns pointed at me way.
It’s out at Belmont.
They’re really serious about safety. You’ll have a ball!
Yea for new sports! I’m an archery girl myself…. I love seeing more girls take up shooting sports. Good call on the vest too π
Ooh I’d love to try archery. We were actually talking about it on the ride home!
I’ve never been to a shooting range but shooting is definitely fun! I like target practice myself cause I totally suck at hitting the clay pigeon flying through the air- I do better with still targets haha!

I’m all for trying still targets next time Sara Jane! Those pigeons are wily π
This is awesome! I was obsessed with archery, BB guns and riflery in summer camp, but I never stuck with any of it. :/ Awesome vest! π

Nicely done! My boyfriend keeps trying to drag me out to the range to shoot- maybe I should take him up on it! π

haha! One of the very first things my husband and I did together was go shooting. I loved it! He has a rifle and I didn’t realize there would be so much kick back and ended up with a nice little dent in my face haha. Looks like you guys had fun!
[…] Hey, you know what’s really warm? A puffy vest. In particular, this puffy vest. Turns out it’s not just good for cushioning shotgun blasts. […]
[…] wish it was more often because as I said last time, it’s actually a sport I’ve shown aptitude […]
