Pistol Shooting

25 meters didnt sound that far...	Wow today was fun. Kim, Rickard, Ahmed and I tried pistol shooting at a club not far away from where we live. Rickard and Ahmed went first and they took their time. It looked like they were having a discussion with the instructor after every 5 shots. But eventually it was our turn. We got to shoot some semi-auto .22 calibre pistols, 50 rounds each, 25 meters away from the target. My only wish for the day was not to be humiliated by Kim who has quite a bit more experience with target shooting then me. After the first 10 rounds or so Kim was comfortably in the lead with a nice grouping around the centre while I kept hitting just below the centre. AND THEN we swaped the guns. The other gun was so much lighter. It makes a lot of difference just because your hand doesnt get tired as quickly. Finally I was getting some nice groupings in around the centre. In the end our instructor was kind enough to let us fire one of his guns. A .45 revolver. Boy oh boy that thing had a nice kick even though he said something about only using 1/2 power bullets. Managed to get an 8 on the first shot :) Overall a great way to spend a day considering the miserable weather outside.
She kept pointing the gun at the target but we all know who she really wanted to shoot :)
You can use your thumbs to feel what way the wind is blowing, to adjust your shot
She was saying just how good of a shooter I am :)
.22 lead, I also got to fire a copper, high velocity bullet
Not too bad for a first timer
I think Rickard managed to chew through his target ...
... but they gave him a new one
Yay for Wellingotn weather
Just playing with depth of field
