The pilot, a friend of a friend, saw my new little Sig when he came by to see Dad a while back. He shoots a lot, and e-mailed me that he was going to a private range, did I want to go along. Oh Gracious me, does a bear...
He's a NRA & Appleseed qualified instructor, as well as a pilot, and a really nice guy.
Schedules being what they are, I finally got to go yesterday morning. We went early and I got 5 hours of personal instruction. Lots of rounds put thru the little Sig, lots and lots of different drills. Just a tremendous help!
There were a group of retired Marines there as well and a nicer bunch of guys you couldn't ask for. They had a huge assortment of pistols and rifles and kept bringing me different ones to shoot.
They were awesome guys, I learned a lot, and shot some Great Guns. It was a Really Good Morning, and they invited me back, YeeHaw!!!
That's high class treatment, Lady! I'm jealous! Glad you had such a good time.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! Go shoot all their ammo and save yours! :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you were having great fun.
ReplyDeleteAnnie Brighid Oakley ... YeeHaw!
ReplyDeleteNICE!!! Nothin' better than a day on the range with good folks!
ReplyDeleteYou've found a peer group worthy of your company.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great day (even if partly cloudy with a chance of snakes)
ReplyDeleteJENNY: I enjoyed every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteOLD NFO: Excellent idea Sir.
GRANNYMAR: I did indeed.
ODIE: Not by a long shot...
JIM: Yes Sir.
LL: I don't even come close to being in the same league with the old Warriors.
BRIGID: LOL yep it's that jingle worm time of year.
That would rank as a great day in my book!
ReplyDeleteAnd watch out for snakes:

What snake would be ever so foolish?
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are getting professional guidance and having fun at it.
EURIPIDES: It was a great day! I was raised in jingle worm country, so I'm careful.
ReplyDeleteARKANSAS PATTI: It has been a bunch of fun, now if I can just retain some of that guidance.
Where was your dad when you needed him? Sounds like this would have been a great place for him to work on fixing you up.
ReplyDeleteGRANNY ANNIE: All are happily married. It was extra nice to be around Happy men with a wonderful dry sense of humor. They teased and pranked each other and after a while me, too. Nothing nasty or mean, just fun.
ReplyDeleteBrighid, I'm positive that you could hold your own with any bunch of guys.
