Turkey Shoot

Preston won a turkey at pistol polo. That event was where they set up a bunch of soda cans, everyone had six shots to see who could shoot there can the farthest! I think Preston shot his around 46 feet. It was hilarious watching all these grown men try to shoot these cans. One guy got fed up and ran out and threw his can.

Preston entered into 6 events. They were pretty tough. A lot of the out-of-towners were bringing in a lot higher powered rifles than what the locals were shooting.

Wyatt entered into the 100 yard bench shot. I was so proud of him. He scored a 23 on his first shot ( where Preston scored a 24). On Wyatt's second shot he scored a 17-1X, which for those of you like me that do not understand the scoring 1X is a bullseye. I thought that was pretty awesome for his first shooting competition at 100 yards. He's only been shooting about 50 yards here at home. He's ready for next year. He wants to do the running deer and skeet shooting next year. One of the junior high girls took a really neat picture of Preston & Wyatt together. Guess what I'll be bidding on in the auction in January. The other two kids and I had a great time visiting. Shiny and I had a lot of offers to shoot. Maybe next year.

I think there was a misunderstanding of what weekend that Jody & Larry were coming out so we are definitely looking forward to an upcoming visit.

Everyone have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. We are looking forward to Paige and her family coming out on Wednesday! I've already told Shiny not to swallow Kaitlynn when they come out!
