182/365 Skeet Shooting

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

"Pull!" *pow* "Aww"

That was the most common sounds heard when my family and I went skeet shooting at Amelia Shotgun Sports. Most of us had never been shooting before. Though I have gone with Kelby, this was a little different. Usually Kelby gives me a light gun, the kind that he used when he was little. This time, the shotgun we used was large and heavy and left us a little sore the next morning.

Skeet Shooting is in fact a sport. You've got to have strength (upper body), control, and incredible focus. Good form is also important so that you absorb the recoil properly; into the pocket between your shoulder and your chest, medial to your armpit. The place we went had us walk around the field to different stalls to shoot from. It's not a cardiovascular workout but it challenges your mental focus and endurance. It was a lot of fun and I recommend it if you've never been.

In health,

Lauren
