My Cousin Got Me Interested in Clay Pigeon Shooting

I am always on the lookout for something fun to do. I like the typical things like shopping and hanging out with friends, but I am also the type of person who likes fun things like bungee jumping and roller coasters. When my cousin told me he had taken clay shooting lessons not that long ago, he immediately thought of me because he knew I would enjoy it too. He gave me all the details, and I went to the website for Lady's Wood to find out even more. The more I read on the website, the more I knew I wanted to take my own shooting lessons there.

I had never been clay pigeon shooting before. (more…)


Remember Such a Thing As Job Stability?

Go to school and make us proud. That was what my parents said to me when they worked and worked to make a higher quality advanced education possible for me. I went to a nice university, then I took a specialty education that concentrated on my area of study to advance to master's level. I'm almost there with that, but I needed a good job now. I kept looking for recruitment companies bristol and had a hard time finding something that would pay all of my obligations and allow me a little time to keep pursuing my next degree.

You know, I think employers are less inclined to invest in employees now that people jump ship about once every two years. I am old school and would really like a job with a stable company that would be around years later. However, that is not the case any longer either. Companies come and go. My parents had jobs they retired at that they also started at during their apprentice years. (more…)


Making My Own Corner of the World Better

Every now and again, I get pretty philosophical about this world that we live in. Typically when this happens, I just entertain the thoughts, and perhaps I might have a conversation with a friend or family member about it. That's it though. Rarely is there any action taken. It is not that I don't care, but I just did not know what to do really. When I was talking about hungry people not long ago, the topic of food waste management came up. I had no idea what it was, because I know that food has such a short shelf life. Well, the majority of food does, anyway. (more…)


Real Clay Shooting is Different

When I was a kid, I loved to play this video game where you could either shoot ducks or play pigeons. The game came with a brightly colored toy light gun that would detect when a bright spot was shown on the television. I was pretty good at the game and thought it would be neat to do it in real life. I found a place that gives shooting instruction to anyone who comes and signed up to learn how to shoot a real rifle. I figured that my skills in the video game would transfer over to the real deal, but I was wrong.

The first time I shot at one of the clay pigeons, my aim was completely off. (more…)
