Okay, well....maybe not!
I was in Burlington today, practicing the 'open' swim part of my triathlon
(more on that in a different blog!!)
After the swim, and more importantly after 'lunch', my brother-in-law, Chris thought it would be a GREAT idea if I tried out his Ruger Blackhawk 44 Magnum.
Just in case you WANT ONE!

Just like DIRTY HARRY'S!!!
MAKE MY DAY!!!!!
Of course, this would have been the PERFECT time for me to mention that 'NONE' of my
'friends' would think putting a gun of any size in my hand would be a good idea.
Of course I didn't say a thing.......this gun, howver, would have put them OVER the top!
This is one BIG gun!!
WOW, it's HEAVY!
It was SHINY TOO!!!
Above is Chris explaining to my where my fingers should go and when.
That's very important!!
You don't want to put your finger near the trigger that the wrong time!
Chris only loaded one bullet into the chamber at a time, he kept the spares in 'Barney Fife' fashion, well, kind of. In his front pants pocket. Hopefully in separate pockets!
I forgot until just now about Dick's story of loose ammo in his truck bouncing off each
other and going off inside the cab. Hum....hopefully Chris is reading this!! G
So, here it goes.
We're to aim at an orange juice jug, it been filled with water and is sitting on a couple of logs. Behind this is a large piece of cardboard. Behind that, a dirt embankment.
My first shot was a bit high and I missed the jug, but hit the cardboard!!
Yippee!
Do you notice the head gear!! Trust me, you want it!!
That thing is LOUD!!
It also gives you a nice kick!
Dawn said, "See, she can hit the side of a barn".
Chris went over to see where it hit and figured if I was aiming at his chest that I would have hit him in the knee. It appeared to me I would have hit him a bit higher than that....but since I wanted another try I was smart enough NOT to say anything! G Later he would tell me that normally they don't have a piece of cardboard out there, but he wanted me to hit something!
So, on my second try.....BULLS EYE!! I hit the jug!
Evidence is below!
This, we later decided is a new and improved recycle method called 'pre-shredding'.
Dawn's up next!! Chris has only one bullet left, so the pressure is ON!!!
BULLS EYE!! Not only is she spot on, she blows the jug right off the target area!!
It was AWESOME!!
Too bad Meme wasn't there to shoot the jug as it happened.
Water must have been flying everywhere!
See below how far it flew off the stand.
This give me a reason to start drinking Orange Juice!

JL - what is the world coming to? Doesn't your sister KNOW any better than to let you have a gun??? Now that my rant is over... it would have been kinda fun to try to "shoot" the shot!
Now I'm really concerned about Bill. I know he was fine Saturday morning . . .
SPEECHLESS!
