Bang Bang!

Now this is a real first for me. This was something that I've always wanted to do, and not in a spree killer type of way, but in a I want to know what all the fuss is about kind of way. I can say now that shooting at a firing range is a lot like getting a tattoo, its something naughty that your parents would be annoyed to find out that you wanted to do it but because of that you really want to do it. Once I had finished my first clip it was a weird sensation of power, stress relief and also a crazy amount of adrenalin coursing through me veins.

I have included a couple of pics and can say that I loved it so much. I also got to keep the targets that I used and will try to take pics of them later so you can see how I did. I was very pleased with my first time and I was told that I was actually better firing one handed rather than 2 handed which the instructor said was very unusual. I fired 3 full clips of 13 bullets using Kuya’s Glock 40 calibre pistol. Its a really beautiful gun and a lot smoother than I expected it to be. I assumed that there would be a big kick but I hardly felt it at all and the biggest problem I had was with my adrenalin causing my firing arm to shake slightly. I still hit the target with all my bullets and managed to get a couple of bulls eyes  which I was very proud of considering its my first time. There is also the option to hire a gun to use so I might have a look at what options they have… Im thinking Armalite or M16 ;D
