"This is called corrupting women"

So today, Christina and I took a few new people to the range with us. Its fun to introduce new people to shooting, as they are usually nervous at first, but hooked after the finish their first magazine.

Here is Christina posing with our new victims:

The first victim was Tom-Tom. She was shooting my Walther p22.

After her, it was Meg's turn with the p22.

So we all shot through several magazines, and decided it was time to head home. Just as we were leaving, a man from several stalls down, came to talk to us. He offered up a few of his pistols for us to try if we wanted. Apprehensive at first, we finally gave in.

The first gun he brought down was a silenced Glock-17, which shoots 9mm ammunition. The silencer helped so that there was very little recoil with this weapon.

Here is a picture of Tom-Tom posing like her favorite assassin.

Next he brought down the big gun we had saw him shooting earlier. The Freedom Arms model 97. A single action revolver, that retailed for about $3000 when you include the after-market add-ons he had put on the gun. Here is a picture of the gun itself.

This weapon shoots the 454 Casull ammunition. I posted a picture below, so you can see what that ammunition looks likes. In the picture, the ammo my gun shoots (.22LR) is labeled #12. The Glock that we shot above shoots the 9mm which is #10. And finally the 454 Casull is #3, about the size of a AA battery.

Now this guy, reloaded his own ammunition, which is something a lot of people do to save money. This also allows you to pack different amounts of powder into the round, and therefore control how much power the round will have. So he started everyone off on rounds that were packed with minimal powder and would therefore have less power.

The first to step up the plate to shoot this was Meg. So the guy loaded up a "women load" and handed the gun over to her.

Then it was Tom-Tom's turn:

And then Christina stepped up to take a shot.

Then he turned to Darren and I to shoot. This time he loaded the gun with 4 rounds. Each increasing in power, starting with the "woman load" and working up the the fully-loaded hunting round.

Here is Darren

And here is my attempt:

And finally here is the target we shot with the 454 Cassul. I am posting this mainly to brag. On my final shot with the model 97, I somehow hit dead center on the bullseye. Probably will never happen again, so I am bragging now haha. Top Shot here I come!

It was a really fun day, topped off by shooting those amazing firearms. To have someone nice enough to allow us to shoot their $3000 handgun was a really cool. It is people like that, which make the world of shooting so fun. Hopefully, we will meet more people like that in the future, and we can shoot other weapons as well.

Introduction

I decided I would put together a place where I can post pictures or videos of all my shooting adventures and anyone who I bring with me.

The gun I have is the Walther p22. Great gun so far, and really good to introduce people into the shooting world. A picture of the gun is below:

The first person I dragged to the range with me was Christina, who was reluctant at first. After she was through her first magazine however, she was already addicted. Here are some pictures and videos of her first shooting experience.

I will post more pictures and videos later as the adventures continue....
