Miranda: 1 / Zombie: Nuthin'

My roommate suddenly has new hobbies. She's into target shooting, riding dirt bikes and selling pixie dolls who don't fit in with her new interests.

I have a dirt bike, and I'm good on it (I'll tell you all about it later) but I thought maybe it was time to pick up a firearm for target shooting. Thankfully, Norm's Dollhouse has a fine selection and a great gun sales guy.


I met up with Hank at the store. He's got an old garage that he works out of. Nice guy.


I told him I was interested in different fire arms, and so had out quite a selection for me to try. I decided to focus on the long guns for today. Handguns next time.


I brought my own eye and ear protection. Yeah, laugh all you want, but sometimes safety is more important than fashion.


Hank provided some nice targets.


But I brought my own from Killer Targets. Love them! I need to suggest these to the roommate. It'll show we share an interest, right? Right.


Tried the rifle first. Not bad. Looking through the scope gives me a headache, though.


So on to the shotgun.


I figured I'd just reuse my target, but then I realized: shotguns aren't for clowns...


Shotguns are for Zombies!


I love these targets, and it turns out I'm a fan of the shotgun.


Nice patterning!


Yes, I believe I've found my target shooting gun. Now to show it to the roommate and share our amazing new common interest. This little pixie doll isn't getting sold. I don't care WHAT new hobby she comes up with (and I'd like to recommend finishing building my house would be a GREAT hobby too, but that might be pushing it.)

Also... I still have all the other stuff that I was going to tell you before to tell you. But not getting sold on Ebay seemed more important. So next time. Promise.

Later,

Miri
