Well I'm 14 and here's the start. When I was 10 years old I was really tomboyish so I signed in 4H shooting club. I'd never shot a gun before so I had 99% no idea what I was doing. Turned out on my first target, I had one big hole from 5 shots. The 3 instructors looked at my target and made me shoot again. I was only 10 and I was so confused why I had to shoot again cause all I wanted to do was move on to archery. I shot again and I don't remember how I did. At the end of that day they told me that they moved me to the advanced team and I was like "okay" (I had no idea what the advanced team was). Months after that, it was time to go to the district tournament. I was soooo scared but I did find some of my old friends there that made me calmer. I've gotten all 1st places at district exept I got a 2nd place once. 1 time I got 6th at state so I didn't get anything but the other times I got 1st. My mom always says "Jessica you could have done better if you tried harder" to be continued.
It always makes me so mad when she says that. Anyways almost 2 years ago one of my instructors asked me to join his shooting range. I was soooo happy. No one else had ever gotten invited to join. Of course I did and from about August 2 years ago to August last year I was going almost every week for special training. He said he should have went out for the olympics but never did. Now he doesn't want me to waste my talent and he's doing the best he can with training me and getting me ready for olympic tryouts or something one day. 6 months ago he gave me the gun I've been using and told me to just dry fire with it to build up my muscles in my arms to hold the gun up long. He said he didn't put bullets in there but He left me 2 whole boxes lol. I used to absolutely LOVE shooting. Now I'm just not into as much...I still like it I'm just tired of it. I don't wanna quit though cause all he has done for me. I'm planning on calling him next thursday to start shooting again. Thnaks for listenin
Everyone says that they hope to see me on tv one day...I'm tired of shooting though. But it's the olympics! I have to keep going right? I have to....Thanks so much for listening again
