#65: Have Andrew teach me to shoot a gun at the shooting range

This is what Andrew and I did one afternoon before he left:


We checked off #65 on my 101 in 1001 list!  Here are the results of the first round I ever shot:


I went back (by myself!) a couple weeks later and tried again.  I think I'm getting a little bit better.

I even hit the small target when I aimed for it!

I'm not a great shot at all, but I'm glad to be more comfortable with guns now, which I think is a good thing.  Hopefully I never need  these skills, but I'd rather be safe than sorry!  Plus it was kind of fun.

Awesome! I have been thinking about getting a handgun...I'm single and live alone (well with a roommate but basically alone)and just don't think my dogs have what it takes to scare someone! ;)

This is awesome! I want to try it someday! I've never shot a gun....it totally freaks me out BUT I'd like to get comfortable with it. Glad you got something off your list! Always a good feeling :)
