Guns, hunting and guitars

So this past weekend I had the opportunity to go to Scott's dad's ranch. As you read in Bean's blog, Scott is our lifegroup leader. Anyway.......
We headed to the ranch friday night which is about thirty miles south and east of San Antonio. It was very exciting as I haven't shot a gun except for an M16 in the past six years. And I only shot the M16 once for qualifying, so it's not like I got to go out and mess around with it. So Carl brought his 12 gauge and two handguns, one baby desert eagle .45 and a stubby glock .40. Scott had his hand guns down there as well. He had a Colt .45 1911, and a Taurus .40 and tons of rifles and shotguns. With all the fire power how could it not be fun. Long story short the shooting was great. Oh, and to go along with the shooting, the ranch is also chockablock with feeders, so the deer are plentiful and fairly large. There were also hogs, havalinas, turkey, rabbits, and many other birds and wildlife. To get to the point I shot a five pointer. He should have been a six, but somehow one of his center points were broken off. The best part of this whole deal is that there is a full time ranch hand named Tito, so after shoot the buck all we had to do is hang it up, and Tito did the gutting and whatnot.
We didn't really do much playing as Scott forgot his guitar. What a surprise. So everyone intermittently played mine, but that's about it.
Alright, so there you go. It wasn't Disneyland or anything, but I still had a good time.
