We went to our first open gun range today and it was a good experience. The range masters were a lot more strict than at the indoor range but at the same time, they were a lot more helpful. We went late in the day so we only got one “hot” session but that was enough for me to try the shotgun – once! I shot a Mossberg 12 gauge pump action shotgun and it kicked my booty! The recoil and sound was too much for me. It didn’t help that we had high velocity slugs which makes the kick even worse. The rest of the time I shot a Remington 22 rifle. All in all it was a good day but I have learned a valuable lesson ….. I am a handgun girl! I don’t do nearly as well with with a shotgun or rifle as I do with a handgun. Conversely, CW does better with a rifle and shotgun. He was amazing with the shotgun!
Unfortunately, the rest of my day was spent in bed. I have had a bad ear and sinus infection since the beginning of November and despite a fourth round of antibiotics, my ears aren’t getting any better. I just finished a round of steroids too without any help! Sadly I’m going to have to suffer for another week as I don’t have my follow up appointment until next Tuesday! It’s gonna be a long week!
