For the first time in my life, I shot a gun. My very first shot, I thought, I'll pull the trigger and the bullet will come out, big deal. And this is where the bullet hit: The recoil sent me stumbling back, and the rest of the nine bullets, I was expecting to be jarred out of my shoes, so I was a little less accurate. For one bullet, I even closed my eyes. I know, you're not supposed to, but I was trying to figure out a way to make it recoil less. My closed-eyes shot: I tried out a few guns before actually shooting, to see how hard the trigger and slide was. I couldn't pull the slide back on any 9 mil guns, so we tried out this .380. Or .308? After ten shots, my palm is on fire and I think I have minor whiplash. Do they make a .1? I might try a .22 next time, although if they made a .1, I'd definitely go for that instead.

Wow!! Very proud of you! I've never even picked up a gun--but I'm totally for people being able to have them for self-defense. You did great with that first shot!! Looks like you and hubby had a good time!

Who am I, you ask?
In 2006 I had a stroke, and every day my husband encourages me to use my remaining brain cells to the best of my ability. I love to organize, make crafts, and go on adventures (safe ones). I hope that through my blog posts, you will be encouraged to accept and make the best of challenges God throws at your life. Categories
