Shooting at the Range #201

My second husband is a retired police office and he had not shot a gun in about a year. I asked him to set up something so I could go shoot. I used to shoot some, not much, when my first husband was alive. When we dated he would take me out on his farm and teach me to shoot his guns. I went to the range with him to shoot after he became a police man. I think I went to shoot with my second husband once many years ago.

Today, one of the firearms instructors took me out on the range and taught me how to shoot. The guns are quite different since I shot a 357 magnum back in the day. The first gun I shot was a Sig Sauer 45 caliber semi-automatic. The first time it fired I about jumped out of my skin. I still hit the target almost dead center! My husband said I am a better shot than he is. They instructor agreed.

My arms got shaky if I tried to fire too many times in a row. I actually enjoyed shooting. I don’t know that I would ever carry a gun. Target shooting is fun. I don’t think I would ever want to fire at anything else.

I also fired a riot gun. I think it was a 40 caliber. I fired large objects. They are soft, but when fired at that speed would hurt. I pierced the center of the trash can I fired at. It might not pierce the skin of someone, but is would certainly get their attention.
