Artifacts

This is a picture of me with a shotgun during Shooting sports. The shotgun itself has value to me because it was my grandfather’s, and literally helped put food on the table when he was younger. It’s also extraordinarily light and fun to shoot, which I usually get to do the most during 4-H season. Shooting is one of the things that I enjoy and helps me relax, though you’d never guess that from my “about me…” After a long day or week, going out to the range and poking some holes in paper or shattering some clay disc’s would help me unwind and enhance my focus. I would often do my schoolwork a few hours after shooting, because it would give my brain time to recharge while still maintaining that sharpness and focus from before. In addition to this, I almost always tried to bring my academics into my shooting sports projects, enhancing my understanding and cementing my knowledge in that subject.
