Every other week we go shoot sporting clays at the Flying Rabbit Sporting Clays in Mt. Crawford, VA. This has been going on for several years, and is an outing enjoyed by our husbands and we sisters.

The fun starts with a delicious lunch which we take turns preparing. But because the real treat comes after our shooting, we do not eat too much. This real treat is Smiley’s Ice Cream located in Bridgewater, VA. Oh my! One really has to try it to know just how yummy it is.

We have a blast (pun intended!) at the range. Have you ever shot sporting clays? Some days we shoot better than others, however practice pays, as I can tell we (girls) are getting better. Like it or not, our husbands always outshoot us. No matter for we cheer on every hit!

Even fun has its own work involved with it in some form or another, and my 20 gauge Redhead Premium CZ over/under needs a good cleaning. I do have a question. Why is my husband so willing to help me clean my shotgun and nothing else in our life? He even gathered all the cleaning supplies and set them out on the table. Just don’t ask questions, just smile!

So with his good help and loads of advice, my shotgun is cleaned, shiny and ready to go out again.
