For his birthday he got a new rifle. He's been out shooting it a few times, but with all the new snow, it's harder to go outside for shooting. So I took him to a shooting range for his birthday. He was able to shoot his rifle (which was deafening inside the small shooting range!), and then we also shot a pistol. I've never shot a handgun before and I must admit that I didn't really like it very much. I had no idea that a handgun would have a "kickback" like a rifle does. Except with a rifle you feel the kickback in your shoulder, which isn't too enjoyable, but at least I expect it. With the handgun I was shocked to feel my whole hand/wrist/arm fling upward each time I fired. I must not be strong enough to hold it still or something. It's not the same as it looks on all those TV cop shows! Anyway, it was a fun day. Happy Birthday to you, Bryan! I love you!!
