Conner the Marksman

(Made by Conner)

We went on a camping trip and it rained the first day we were there.  It was pretty miserable and all we did was set up camp and have dinner.  The next day we shot some guns.  We shot a .22, a 45/70, and a 30/30  rifles.  We also shot a 4/10, and a 12 barrel shotgun.  I only shot the .22, the 30/30 rifle, and the 4/10 shotgun.  We had a contest with the .22 rifle to see how good we could aim and I won!!!!!!  My score was 76 and I only won by 1 point!  Overall, it was a fun campout and I had fun with the deacons (and 1 teacher). 

This is Jen with a little note.  Conner went on this two-day scout trip about a month ago when they had a Friday off school in November.  I was nervous about him going ... especially since they were shooting guns and he's not a big kid.  He had a GREAT time and won the shooting contest.  One of the leaders that went showed Travis a video yesterday of Conner shooting a pumpkin.  He said he was holding the gun and looking at the pumpkin, lined it up and blew a hole right through the middle of it!  How fun for Conner! Great job buddy!
