Seems my sons have acquired guns, so we went to the local indoor range and did some shooting. There were a bunch of us, plus the couple that lives upstairs in the house where Peter lives. It was the first time I had ever shot a gun, let alone three of them: a 22 rifle, a 40 caliber and 45 caliber handgun (I think that's the size). The rifle was OK since it was smaller and was not so loud. The handguns were a bit scary as I
do not like the spark that flies when the hammer hits the bullet, plus it was v e r y loud, even with ear plugs.
Sara did not want to shoot; Teresa did though. Christin is well-versed in guns as her dad taught her from an early age, so she was giving us tips on how to stand and hold the gun.
However, it was a good experience and I could get used to doing it.
