[QUOTE="Joeh, post: 1521091, member: 18680"] Hey all! Only been around here for two days now as I just stumbled on this site yesterday! I'm very new to the firearm scene, and I've had my first and only pistol for about two weeks now. Went to the local range (Heartland Outdoor) and took a beginners handgun course. Course covered the very basics of handgun ownership, most importantly safety, then moved to cleaning and storing techniques and finally to the fundamentals of shooting. (Cleo was awesome and a great teacher) Shot though a box of 9mm, 7 yards, then 10 yards, here's what I did: [b][Broken External Image][/b] [b][Broken External Image][/b] And my first and only gun: [b][Broken External Image][/b] Initial reactions were scattered. I wasn't quite ready for the amount of feedback I got from the gun, it was a bit unsettling. But, after the first magazine full I settled in and I improved a bit. Post range reactions are: I'm hooked. Can't wait to go back and fire some more!! So, for a first time shooter, comments? I know I hit a few low. I noticed during my second mag that I wasn't breathing :X So I forced myself to take a few deep breaths and relaxed my arms a bit too much on the exhale, during the trigger pull which lead to a few low shots. Overall though, I'm pretty excited for my first time out! Followed that up with two more sessions this week and I can already tell I'm improving, especially at longer distances (15 yds). Considering going out again tonight, but four times to the range in a week hurts the wallet a bit :X Would like to get my confidence level up enough that I could eventually shoot in something like IDPA, but I don't know much about it. Looking forward to a life long sport! ~Joey [/QUOTE]
