Small but Feisty

I've wanted to go to a firing range for quite some time now, but in reality, guns seriously scare me. It would be so easy to accidentally shoot someone! Or yourself!

I finally got the opportunity to go, so I put on some highly fashionable safety glasses and shooting range ear muffs, and gave it a shot (pun intended).  It took a few minutes to get used to the incredibly loud popping noise of the gunshots - especially since there were several other people shooting in other lanes. After about five minutes I finally stopped jumping and closing my eyes at the sound of each gunfire.

I let Luke and his dad take care of filling the clips and loading the guns - I do not trust myself to do that successfully. I shot a pistol and two semi-automatic hand guns, and let me just say...when cops on TV shoot guns with only one hand while running and talking on a walkie-talkie...there is no way that can be physically possible. I had to hold on as tight as I could because of the kick-back.

Although I had no idea what I was doing, I managed to hit a bulls-eye! I was pretty proud of my first shooting range experience.

Do I want to go out and buy a gun now? No way. It was fun, but still scary.
