First we had to learn how to shoot a gun.
Then we all took turns with 22's.
We shot at metal silhouettes of small critters like pigs, chicks, and rams. This is called "plinking".
Then papa lit a fuse on a mortar.
KA BOOM it went!

It shot a small pop can filled with concrete waaaaaay up in the air.
There were hand guns too. Sarah was scared of them at first, but I told her it would be lots of fun.
Besides, look at how cool you look.
