Yesterday Brian and I arrived in Coeur 'd Alene, Idaho to visit a childhood friend of mine and her husband. Peggy was the one who taught me at YMCA camp to shoot a bow and arrow, and I used to be pretty good at it. Now she and Ed own a shooting range, so I was able (with Ed's expert help) to try shooting both a machine gun and a pistol. I wasn't too great...definitely not a natural. But I did it and was able to at least hit the target!! I'm fairly certain it was beginner's luck, of course, and I won't quit my day job to go to the police academy. But I've always wanted to try it, and now I have. Just one more thing crossed off the bucket list.
