Air Rifles Takedown

Bang! Bang! Bang! The target drops. Yay! Air rifles are amazing.

At camp we were shooting air rifles in our activity groups. We were doing it with Mr Scholes. We shot at metal rodents with yellow circles in the middle. When you hit the metal it made a clang. When you hit the yellow dot it fell over. I had never shot a gun before so I was a lot better than I thought I was going to be. I hit the metal 13 times and knocked them down 4 times. The air rifles made a weird whooshing sound. With the air rifles there were 2 red dots that you had to line up with a green dot for aiming. When I thought I had aimed perfectly I always missed. Sometimes when I didn't aim it worked better than when I aimed. My dad said that technology has come a long way since he shot air rifles. He used to shoot heavy wooden things that had no way to aim. He said they looked like space age technology. Air rifles are really fun and I think that everyone should have a go.
