My friend Doug and I have been planning on doing some target shooting for awhile. Waiting for the weather to lighten up. The days to be longer. He wants to go up in the hills.
Well I, being me, was tired of waiting. So I hired a babysitter and invited him and my brother to go to a local range and shoot some ammo. My brother bought a 9mm so I figured I could use that.
Today was the day and we all met up there. Doug brought one of his friends with so we had a group of four. I did okay with the 9mm. Nothing to write home about. Did much better with the 22. Just like pinging pop cans back when I was young. I didn't like Mom's 38 special at all. Doug let me use two of his Sig's. I have no idea what one of them was and the other was a P238, and they both had a nice bang. Then his friend was teasing about not forewarning me about the gun. Doug's response was then I wouldn't shoot it. Who knows? I still did all right with those. His friend let me fire his FN5.7 and boy was that one nice. I had shot enough already that I couldn't tell how I was doing. So they told me to aim for the 7 and so I did.
It was a great afternoon with friends and brother. Thanks guys. Let's do it again soon. When we do it in the hills I have a babysitter lined up who doesn't have a time frame to maintain. ;p
