My son and I took are handguns to the shoot range I brought a Karr .45 and my son had a Glock .44. This was actually my husband new gun the (Karr) and I thought it might be good for me to shoot.
So I went to the shooting range and was presented with a pair of protective eyewear and ear protection . I was told to place them on my ears and eyes before entering the first door and then the second door led me into the range that was where the active shooting was going on.
Even with the protective ear device you could feel the power of the weapons being fired. As I was entering the third stall and was told to place my weapon on the counter. Opening the box up and removing the clip and being instructed on how to load my gun. I was instructed to always keep the gun pointed downward toward the target and if I turned around the weapon needed to be placed on the counter in my stall.
My target was place in the device and moved 25 ft. away. As I was instructed to take the gun in my hands with my finger off the trigger until I was ready to shoot, also being aware to keep my thumb away from the sliding device where my finger would not get smashed.
After doing everything as I was informed and being a bit nervous I look thru the sight and aimed at the target and BOOM!!! The first, second and third round ended up in the floor. I didn’t expect the recoil too be so intense. After firing a few more times I was hitting the target, I began to settle down and relax. After an additional 800 rounds I believe I was getting the hang of it.
