wife's bday the other day...

"what do you want to do?"
"let's go shoot stuff!"

so we took a ride over the local outdoor gun club range. it rocked. had a great time shooting trap and skeet even though we were sweating our skin off. we were using 20ga TriStar Vipers, really enjoyed those.

took the old winchester .22 down to the rifle range and ran about 60 rounds through it before we were too cooked to keep going. a very friendly club member/instructor insisted we put a clip or two through his AR15 as well, which was super fun and also both our first time on that weapon.

really put an impression on us. we want to do this a lot. wife used to shoot .22 in high school on a team, so now that she's got a taste of it again its hard to forget how much she enjoyed it. now we're all thinking about what firearm to get next, but the reality is the first order of business is we need to find a decent gun safe first.

so addictive, this stuff

the .22 shot awesome for a thing made in 1937


results from the .22....i'm top right and left, she's center and lower left. 30 and 50 yards respectively. i'm accurate sometimes, sloppy grouping though and i'm not breathing properly. she was getting very tired and was tightening up before she shot so it pulled towards her core/dropped left.


the club we went to has a "ladie's night" for shooting which my wife is really liking the idea of. good for finding support and advice from a similar group. anything to get us all out there is a positive in my book.
