PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My uncle, Richard, he has been always a special and unique person for me, because we share some interesting hobbies. I always knew that he liked to hunt, until one day I heard that he was talking about guns, and he caught my attention. I ask him about his guns and he said come, we were in his house, and he took me to his bedroom and since he opened the door I saw a big wooden shelf, with a clear crystal with rifles, all of them order by size. Inside I also saw different types of bullets. In that moment I was really impress and excited; and he told if I wanted to see more, and I said of course. Then he took me to his strongbox where he had his photography equipment, and his other rifles for different occasions, like for hunting deer, ducks, peacocks and his first assault rifle. I wanted to go hunting with him, but for different reasons it wasn’t possible. Until one day he took my father, two cousins and me, to a hunting trip in which drove all night and we get there at 7 a.m. and since it was morning, we decided to start our hunting adventure; he took a rifle and he gave one to each of us. He gave me a 30-30 with a good scope to aim better. First it wasn’t heavy it was like 4 Kg. but after having it for more than 5 hour walking it was really heavy. When it was afternoon we went to buy a tent to sleep in, because his trailer that was in his property had rats inside. We clean the guns and we put them in their cases before going to sleep. In our trip of 3 days we didn’t shoot anything, but two days later we when to shoot different guns and rifles, like 22 rifle, 22 revolver, shotgun for ducks, a semiautomatic 9mm. The last time that I was in the US he invited my sister and me to a shooting camp, but instead of going to were the normal people shoots we went to where the police practice, because he has some police friend, and we saw all their guns and we were amaze. In that occasion we shoot a 40 caliber. Guns remembers me my uncle, I don’t know if it is good or bad, to be remembered by it, but in this case it is because the hobbies that we share, and the good time that we have spent together.
