A few days ago, we went to a store called Cabela's (a huge sporting goods store; there are only 7 in the US, one of which is in Phoenix). I have never seen so many firearms in one place! It was an interesting experience. That was the introduction to our adventure this morning, the shooting range!
Never did I think I would even step foot in a shooting range, much less hold and attempt to shoot a real 9mm pistol! I say attempt because I really did try to shoot, but unfortunately, my index finger strength is unhumanly weak. I could not pull the trigger with one index finger!! Well, you can't say I didn't try. So I think I will buy one of those grip things and do some strength training for my fingers. What an embarrassment to the human race ... can't pull a trigger ...
Anyway, Madelina and Julien did great for their first time! From 25 yards away, Mad hit the target and Julien hit the target 3 times plus a soda can! I was quite impressed. I never knew that guns were so heavy, and shots were so loud, and the kickback looked pretty crazy too. We saw a few law enforcement guys training, and their targets were like 100 yards away, it's amazing. Will keep you all posted if I ever make a second attempt.
