Some Friday Fun - Armed and Dangerous

Shira and I had a bit of free time today, so on a whim, we decided to
hit the shooting range for a little target practice.

Turns out, here in Virginia, you need surprisingly little to get your
hands on a gun. Shira sweet talked her way into renting us a Sig 226, a
gun we have never shot before. And we were off and running.

Man this is a fun sport - and there's just something incredibly sexy
about watching your wife shoot.

If you've never tried it (shooting, not oggling your wife) I highly
recommend it.

And how did we do? At about 21ft, I scored a 56. Not bad for not having
shot in a while. Shira shot a 103 (her target is the one seen attached
to this post).

  3. Uh oh, I can't tell if 'anonymous' is joking or serious.

    I'll go with serious: Mr. Anonymous, target shooting is a sport. It's in the Olympics. It's fun. It teaches respect for hand guns. It's kind of like bowling a bit like golf.

    So, what's not family friendly about that?
