Rifle (not gun) shooting was also fun - the difference between a gun and a rifle eludes me, however (any ideas Sam?!). After a lecture on weapon handling and then some live practice at the range (field with cardboard box in the middle), we had to complete an exercise where the instructor screamed ‘CHARGE!’ in our ear – we then had to be able to chamber a round in the bolt action rifle, fire three shots at two targets – one to the right and two to the left – make the rifle safe and hand it back to the instructor – all in under 10 seconds - on the basis that any longer and the animal charging would have eaten or trampled you by that stage.
Most of the students were (theoretically) eaten and/or trampled – some more than once...Ellen...
