Do ya feel lucky, punk?

This morning my dad and I went to The Range. I’ve never fired a gun before, but my dad has and he’s knowledgeable. It was a lot different than I had expected it to be. Even with the ear protection, it was incredibly loud. Nothing like you see in the movies or on TV. The weapons of choice for us were a .22 bolt action rifle and a .38 Special (Smith and Wesson). I set up the target paper and started off with the rifle at about 50ft. This caliber was .22 short and felt like firing a BB gun. The bolt-action mechanism was fun to operate and it held about 20 shots. The revolver was NUTS. It seems like “small” gun but it packed a massive punch. We used .38 practice slugs and also hollow points. The hollow points we had were actually the kind used by law enforcement and are packed with extra grains of powder. (there was about a foot long flame out of the front of the gun when I used these rounds) I was also amazed at how inaccurate I was. Okay, Donald is here so I’m off to REI to buy climbing gear.
