Outdoor Youth Event

Today I went to an outdoor youth event at the city lake. My best friend and I messed around on the rock piles while we waited for the event to begin. Finally, the event started and we headed to our first station: Archery. Archery is my best way of hunting, I have shot guns before, but I'm best at a bow. The first round, I wasn't very good because they gave me a bow that was not only too heavy for me, but it was a right handed bow. The second time around, I shot the life-size animal target in the leg, and twice in the shoulder. Of course, my friend nailed the target in the tail end. The horn sounded, and we moved to the first shotgun station. The boys hogged it at first, then we finally got a chance. I shot two of the clay pigeons that was launched. We moved to the second shotgun station and my friend and I didn't hit any pigeons. After that, we went to pellet rifles. We loaded and shot the tiny clay targets that where set on straw bales. At the end, there was a drawing where I got some targets for later. This was a fun experience for me, and I recommend it to all little kids who want to hunt.
