On Saturday, I am going to shoot with some friends. Natasha and Gabby (sisters), Luke and Haley (brother and sister), and my brother, and I are going to shoot, like it's a match. Since there's six of us, we'll shoot on two targets, with three of us on each. So we don't have to be with our sibling, I will be on a target with Gabby and Luke, or Natasha and Haley. Also, we won't be on the same relay as our sibling, so we won't be in the pits, scoring, and shooting with them. We are going to shoot ten round strings, with two sighters each. I made score cards a few days ago, so we can write down our scores, and make it seem more like a mini match. =)

Merry Chrstmas!

Me

   My friends got me a shirt for Christmas. It says 'Why yes, I do shoot like a girl.' I love it! I wanted a shirt like that, so I'm really happy that I got one. I'm going to wear it to my next match. 

  They also got my dad a shirt that says 'Caddy Dad'. It's really funny, because at matches he always helps me bring all of my shooting gear out of our truck. He's going to have to wear it to matches, because he's a daddy caddy! It's an awesome shirt for matches, just like mine!



Thank you Rettmers! We love them =)

~Have a Merry Christmas everybody!~

Busy Saturday

   Saturday was a match at Machias. My brother came, and he shot F-Class. He was shooting on the target next to mine, so if I wasn't shooting I would watch his target too. He did very good at his first match. His score was 572/600, with 13 X's. Luke and Haley shot service rifle. They both shot a 172/200 for their first string, but I don't know what their other scores were. Hopefully they were happy with their scores, because they did very good. Luke, Haley, and I were on the same target again. On my first string, I shot a clean (200/200), with 12 X's. My other strings didn't go to well... I ended up with a 592/600. I had a few unexplained 9's, but two of the points I dropped were my fault, I pulled them.
   Natasha and her sister Gabby came and watched the match. They shoot in the .22 class that my dad runs. Soon, they will start shooting service rifle, and they wanted to see what a match was like. They brought their spotting scopes, and when Haley Luke or I was scoring, they would watch how we do it. When we went down in the pits, one of them would come with us and learn how to score targets.
   
   After the match, my Mom, Dad, Nathaniel, and I went to my Cousin, Aunt, and Uncle's house. We had dinner, then made decorations for their Christmas tree. My Aunt bought clear glass ornaments, and we filled them with fake cranberries, small cinnamon sticks, dried cranberries, thin shaves of wood, and greenery. They are really cute! My Cousin and I took gingerbread men from last year's Christmas, and used brown twine to hang them. My Aunt, Mom, and Dad strung popcorn and cranberries. Their tree looks really pretty. =)
