Another Day At The Range

Well, we decided to close out the old year with a little family target practice. We can safely say that the world is now much safer from crazed, marauding pieces of paper with circles printed on them.

Katrina starts out with a .22 caliber pistol, with me commenting on her placement on the target. Her Godfather, Mark is working out in the next shooter's stall.

Later, she tries out one of the range officer's .357 Magnums. How big was the recoil of .357 full-magnum loads? The look on her face after she pulled the trigger the first time says it all. Her next couple of pulls showed great improvement though, as she 'walked' it back up the target to the bulls-eye. The range officer said that perhaps she might want to think about trying out for competitive shooting, she was that good. I had to push her stomach back and her schoulders forward in order to keep her posture correct to properly handle the recoil from the single-action revolver.

Luann decided to have a go at the .357 Mag too. She did pretty good as well.

This Cuban Anole lizard can change from brown to green at will. He was too cute for us to make a target out of. Besides, we were there to protect the world from paper.
