I shot at paper targets to start with and did really well. They told me I was a natural as most of my shots were very consistent and almost the majority fell within the center 3 circles (all of which I was told is considered a bullseye!!) WooHoo!! Go me! First time ever holding a gun and I hit a bullseye!!!
Then I moved on to the bigger rifle. I don't remember exactly what it is, but I think it was one that Garrett (the guy in the picture training me) uses in the army. I was a bit more overwhelmed with the bigger gun, but did just fine. Din't hit the bulls-eye on this one but shot in a cluster, meaning all my shots hit in the exact same spot. Pretty good. They were hitting below the bulls-eye and no matter how I adjusted the gun I couldn't seem to get it any higher. But not too bad!
I finished with a 9mm pistol, but somehow with the 4 cameras floating around didn't manage to get any pictures with that one. It was similar to the 22, but a little heavier and with a lot more recoil. I even ended up with a spent shell flying down the back of my shirt! Ouch those babies are hot! Luckily I reacted quick enough that I didn't get burned. It is harder to shoot accurately the more recoil you get, but they said I did great. My friend threatened that she's not taking me back because I was shooting better than her. Feels pretty good to hear that from a veteran shooter and definitely encourages me to go try some more things that I have never done before.
