As the World Turns

Last weekend, my wife and I went to the gun range for the very first time. We both had never shot guns before. We arrived at the gun range at noon, and the friendly staff checked us out and made sure we had an instructor. I was given a 9mm handgun, and my wife was given a .22 caliber pistol. We put on our “eyes” (glasses for our protection) and “ears” (headsets to protect our ears), and started shooting. We had a great time learning about how guns work, how to aim, how to press down on the trigger, and how to reload. My wife was very good with her .22, and had very good targeting. I had to get use to the recoil of the 9mm, but eventually, I got into a good groove. Overall, we found it to be a great stress reliever and I felt like it was a great experience for a couple. We plan to go back very soon.
