First Time At The Range

First Time At The Range

First Time At The Range

My inner explorer has always motivated me to try new things, learn new skills, visit new places and overcome new challenges. The feeling of trying a new activity which I know nothing about and then putting in the work to improve and hopefully become efficient one day is invigorating. Throughout the years I have periodically thought about shooting a gun for the first time. Although I wanted to experience something new and try something I knew nothing about, is just never became a priority. Well, with everything going on in the world I figured this is as a good a time as ever to give it a try.

Walking In

I’m not going to lie. I was a bit nervous walking in the front door. Not the kind of nervous that would put my shorts in danger but nervous enough to keep things interesting. That’s good because I didn’t bring a backup pair. My anxiety was rooted in the unknown but was overshadowed by my excitement. Although I did a ton research and watched a ton of youtube videos, I knew enough to know that I was about to experience something that wasn’t even close to anything I had experienced before. I was excited because I knew this would be a pivotal moment in my life and would change my perspective on certain topics. I was a bit anxious because I didn’t know what to expect from the gun or from myself. Ok. I admit it. There might have been a thought or two that crossed my mind involving me shooting a certain part of myself that wasn’t meant to be shot.
