while i was in utah, one of my oldest friends, D, invited me to
(in his words) "blow sh*t up in the desert."
we started our adventure at this place called Cabela's which completely horrified me (not a fan of taxidermy) and thrilled me... i was dying to dress head to toe in camouflage and jump out and scare unsuspecting customers.
i've never felt more like a city mouse.
D even packs heat on his leg.
naturally, i had to wear a coon skin hat for the event.
i swear it looked like i was on set for 24...soooo many guns...
d mixed his own explosives and we packed a tv full then shot it to explosions.
(see, i shoot electronics- not animals)
i shot this .50 caliber Barrett which i'm told is used to shoot helicopters out of the sky....
it HURT. LIKE. HELL... seriously.
i was surprised that i was straight up "annie oakley" with my shot accuracy. look out!
i also shot an M16 and that gangsta hand gun.... it was both the scariest and strangest feeling...
not necessarily for me, but i had such a good time and hey, it's a life experience, right?
and like you do, i hurt my shoulder so much that i ended up in chiro...
small price to pay for living, right?

Sounds like a "fun" day, more like my husbands kind of day.
He's really interested in Alpine Ballistics Research, know if they're hiring or a person of contact email? I know this is long shot but he was really interested and its the blog world its worth a shot right?
Thanks! and love the blog! And just in case things work out my email is tabkate at yahoo dot com
Cabelas is such a fun store! I had the same exact feeling the first time I went there.
Cabelas is so fun! And YES, so horrifying. I was also creeped out by all those huge fish swimming around. I definitely need to get some friends that like to blow stuff up.
I saw all those pictures on Instagram but needed more backstory! Thanks for explaining!!
My 5 year old son has called Cabelas "the temple" since he was 3 years old. It makes for some confusing conversations here in Utah....Imagine my embarrassment a couple years ago when we go to my cousins wedding (at the SLC temple) and my kid screams as we walk onto the grounds, "THIS ISN'T THE TEMPLE! YOU TOLD ME WE WERE GOING TO THE TEMPLE!"
