My first time going trap shooting
The first time I want trap shooting was when I was 12 and into shooting sports. One day I decided to ask my friend that went trap shooting with his dad a lot if I could go with him next time he was going, of course, his dad said if my parents are ok with it. So I went and asked my parents they said I could go. I was ecstatic at the thought of my first time going trap shooting and I had a lot of questions like, how do I do this?, is it going to be hard?, will I be any good at it?. But I didn't have time to answer my questions because the next day I found out we were going that Saturday which was only a few days away.for the next few days all I could think about was Saturday and nothing else, I was still excited …show more content…
Once we got all of our supplies out we set up and began shooting, they had to teach me how to aim in front of my target and the range on how far is too far to even shoot. Then they did a visual lesson on it by actually shooting and hitting the targets and call outs. After a few minutes of this they handed me the gun and told me “ when you're ready say pull and a bird will fly out”. I said “ok” and got in the proper stance and had the gun lowered and said pull. The clay bird shot out of the launcher and went to my left I turned while raising the gun and took aim and fired. There was a moment of silence except for the sound of the gun going off and echoing in the distance before I realized I hit the clay bird on my first try! I said “launch a few more” and they did when I said pull, I hit all of them then i asked” can I try a double. So they loaded up 2 birds in the launcher I didn't look at where so it would surprise me on where they went. I said “PULL” and the two birds flew out I aimed at one fired, it had hit, aimed at the second one fired, it had also hit.
On my first- time trap shooting I had hit most of my targets and when I tried a double I hit both of them to my surprise. I had taken a break for a few minutes to take in what had happened and realizes that it was fun and I was really good at it. A few years later I decided I was good enough from all the practice to try competition
