Watch Out South Florida! I'm dangerous!!!
ha ha! Not really. But I could be if you broke into my house in the middle of the night (hey, a girl's gotta protect her camera equipment. ha ha!) My dad and I got together and went to the shooting range. Although I came from Atlanta before my move to Fort Lauderdale, I am originally a Texan through and through. My whole life, I've grown up with guns in the house. It's a "normal" for me. Although I've always been around them, I've NEVER actually shot a gun before. My dad always showed me how to hold them and taught me to respect them, but never managed to make it out to the range.
Today was the day. My dad recently got a Glock 357 Sig (ok, I'm really not sure what exactly that mean, but it sounds good doesn't it!) and want to go to the range to shoot it. My mom wouldn't go with him, so I tagged along for my first lesson in shooting. I had a great time (more so than I expected)! My dad brought a 38 Special Revolver for me to shoot since the recoil isn't as bad. He offered for me to shoot his Glock, but I didn't want to. That thing is a beast. Overall, I was pretty proud of myself for the first time shooting. Here are some pictures from the day!
We were in lane 14
My dad took this photo of me. Its blurry, but I love it!
These were my first 6 shots. Not too bad for NEVER shooting before. I was pretty proud. My dad laughed at me when I shot so far at the top. Some of them got pretty close to the center though.
Here's the gun I shot
Here's my dad shooting his Glock.
There were TONS of shells pushed into the corner (and all over the floor).
Yeah, I'm tough for my size. Or at least I try to think I am!
Too much fun! I hope everyone had a great weekend!!!

ha ha! As a Texas girl, I've grown up with them (my dad, as you can probably tell is very pro-gun) so its never occured to me to be scared. I will tell you I have no idea how to put the bullets in, so your pretty safe! ;-)
