Shooting Sports

When I was little I loved guns, so when I was two I would walk the field with my dad. When I was four I got my first gun. As I grew up I got more advanced and I got more guns. When I was old enough I took 4-H shooting sports so I could compete with more kids my age. I learned much more about guns, the way to handle guns, and the parts of gun. We thought of this word as (MATS). The m stands for muzzle, a stands for action, t stands for trigger, and s stands for safety. These are all parts of a gun.

The instructor gave us a time-sheet to know when practice was. We had to practice pretty often and we all got really really good. When we got further into the season they told us about the county shootout When we got to the shootout

    As with any other event, Western sporting events constantly face competition from around the City of London, whether it be direct or indirect. Probably the biggest competitors that Western Athletics has are the London Knights and London Lightning, which are the city’s hockey and basketball teams, respectively.

    My First Deer One brisk 30 degree day in January, when I was nine years old, was a day for which I was extremely excited. My dad got me out of school earlier that day, so we could go deer hunting. I had already shot a turkey the year before, so guns were nothing new to me.

At this point we did not have the hunting land that we do today, so we went to my grandpa’s house and hunted in the clearing of trees behind his house.…
