Firm grasp of the pistol-grip, sight along the barrel and squeeze the trigger. Easy to learn but much harder to master.
On yet another trip to Calais (France), I took the opportunity to practice target shooting with an air rifle. I upheld my honour and dignity, taking 10 shots to hit 12 balloons. Admittedly I missed 2 shots but made up for it by hitting two balloons using one round twice. My prize? A small teddy bear dressed like Biggles.
An amusing diversion before stopping off for dinner in a local restaurant. More than a few strange looks were given to me, until I explained how I came to holding a cute teddy bear. My dad hit 3 out of 4 targets, the fourth being just a little too low.
I think it annoyed him somewhat; we have also been 12-bore shotgun shooting and with the last two shells we had, I hit two targets. I put it down to having faster reactions from playing computer games. He didn't put much faith in that, but it has been scientifically proven.
A friend of mine in New Zealand played computer games more than me, I dread to think how quick his reactions would be.
till next time,
Alex.
