Shoot you Sir...

Well we've settled in now and are getting to know folks (still working on getting them to allow us to take their pictures ;¬)). A chap at work has a brother who owns a range so the inevitable 'visit' was made.
We signed up with a club and had a go with some semi-auto's.

So after about 4 MINUTES of training we were let loose on the range. The first time i knew the gun was live my hand was shaking, needless to say i gave it a go. Once you tentatively shoot a few your confidence builds quickly (a feeling i fear is addictive) . Here is my target (yes mine i didn't take a photo of someone else's) I'm amazed i hit it at all actually.
After a while we were feeling pretty hard and then a 12 year old kid came in with his dad holding a magnum, fired it and practically blew the target off it's holster. At this point i wanted to go home...
....
Here MrBeard is sporting the Glock 9mm semi-auto, 15rnd magazine loaded but no bullets ($8.95 for 50) . Mr Beard would like to point out that he had no idea what he was doing.

I would also like to point out these things scare the crap out of me....but I'm going back next tuesday to finish off the rounds.

Going flying over here again soon, hope to get some video of landing at commercial airports.
