We got up at 6, had breakfast, did pet stuff, and were on the road by 6:35. The trip down was uneventful and fast. We had a couple of rabbits that were easy to follow because there wasn't much traffic.
We got down to the club in plenty of time to register. In fact, we had about half an hour or more to sit around before shooting.
I didn't do well. This is the first time we've shot the 12 ga guns in months. They are significantly slower. It took me the first 5-stand to get used to the feel of the gun. I shot a little better on the second 5-stand, but overall I sucked. Ellen didn't do much better.
After the shooting was over we had 8 hours to kill before the dinner. We decided to check out Creswell. That didn't take long, it's a small town. We did find a really good bakery though. I drove out the other side of town and saw an estate sale sign. We followed the signs for about 3 miles. The sale was an old logging business. It was great fun looking at stuff. I bought a huge wrench and a home made sledge hammer.
On the way back we ate at Dairy Queen. We didn't feel like the gun club food. We got back to the club about noon. We spent the afternoon talking to people and surfing. I shot make-a-break with another guy. It cost me $9 for the ammo and $10 for the ticket. Woof.
Dinner was really good. It was catered by a Mexican place. We bought some drawing tickets, but didn't win anything. They awarded Ellen her usual price for doing the website.
We left after the drawing. We made great time on the way back even though we had to stop in Creswell to air up the tires and reset the tire alarm. When we got home we fed the cats, showered, and went to bed.
