Millford Hills

All day Sunday I volunteered to help my dad as a volunteer at Millford Hills Hunting Club in Watertown to raise some money for the school's wrestling team. I have volunteered once before in the past but have found more enjoyment this year as opposed to the last time. It was very interesting talking with the people as they came around to my station to hit clay birds. Every year Millford Hills hosts this national championship and with it comes hundreds of shooters who pay between $300 and $500 to be there to see who's the best. My job was easy. I said hi, explained where the birds were coming from and let them view them as well, I fired the birds they would shoot at, and then gave them a score of how many they hit. Easy. These people are very competitive and my station was probably a very tough one. I received a lot of cards with perfect scores on them and felt badly if they missed one at my station. One man in particular that I noticed had a fancy white shooting glove on that was made for two fingers and a thumb. This man was missing most of his right hand and had a glove made specially for him. He got up to my station and shot a perfect score. Later on I found out from my dad who was working the main event with the hired judges that that same man was last year's champion of the overall competition.

Overall, I had a great time and would do it again... except for the flies... they are quite annoying! :)
