Shooting range
Posted by James on Sunday Apr 6, 2008 Under What Jimmys been up toI’ve recently done my Possessions and Acquisitions License (PAL) for firearms here in Canada.
Yes and I’ve done this before I’ve got my Canadian driving license. Why? Well it’s more fun of course
It takes a while for it to go through with me being new to the country. They need to do loads of background check to make sure you’re not a nutter.
Well anyway a good friend of both Manus and myself, Mark took us to the shooting range for the day last weekend. I can’t tell you how much fun it was…
I was quite nervous at first as I’ve never even fired a gun before. (well only an air rifle, but that doesn’t count.)
Mark brought along:
- 9mm Smith and Western
- 9mm Glock
- AR15 Rifle
- Remmington 12 guage pump action shotgun
Manu went first. He didn’t enjoy it
I was really accurate with the pistols. Mark even called me a natural, but I think he was just being kind on a beginner. 7 out of 9 were bull-eyes.
Surprisingly there was very little recoil and any of the weapons , with the exception of the shotgun, which would leave a bruise.
I was immediately hooked. I can’t begin to tell you how much fun this was.
A Brilliant way of relieving stress. I’d never thought I’d say this, but I’m thinking of buying one now
