Shooter

Yesterday I had the pleasure of joining my PC Magazine colleagues in a time of 'relaxation'. We were invited by our good firend Vadim Lisenko from Foxconn MEA. We were invited to the Jebel Ali International Shooting Club. I was a bit hesitant at first since I had no idea how to handle a gun but i realized since I'm experiencing everything for the first time, might as well join the crowd - and I'm glad I did. We were shooting clay piegeons while it was thrown in the air. I thought someone must know precision and timing when doing it, and that only a shsarpshooter at heart can know how to do it. At first every shot of the bullet makes me even more nervous, but after a few tries (which I didn't get to shoot anything) I finally get one shot right. We had two rounds: Round one was the practice, with 25 shots. Round two was another 25 shots but now it is scored. I ended up shooting 18 targets out of 25. In tie with me is my collague Hatim, which also got 18 points. My editor Chris was in 3rd place. I really had fun. I never knew that this activity would release a lot of in me. It's a great way to relax and it feels even better now that I've finished everything I need to do for the magazine. After that we had hefty dinner at T.G.I. Friday's at Sheik Zayed Road. I had the most juicy beef steak (well-done), the creamiest mashed potatoes, the freshest graden salad and the most electrifying blue lemonade. It was a great day to end the day. Much thanks to Vadim for the invite. Not only it was relaxing, it was a good experience that'll definitely do again.
