I shoot like a girl

...and I love it.

Pat and I had a range date this morning. I love these. Oh sure, I enjoy eating out, going to a movie, stuff like that but a range date is so much fun. I am trying talk myself into a weapon of a smaller caliber just because ammo for mine is so expensive. I'm having a hard time but slowly feel myself being pulled in the direction of the 9mm. :-)

It's nice to share a hobby - one that provides both fun and had practical uses as well since we both believe this is good self-defense training.

The range was packed today - good to see. Of course, weekends are always busier than weekdays but all the rifle and pistol lanes were full with waiting lists today. Saw more women there today than I normally do. That makes me very happy. I would love to see more women embrace shooting instead of embracing fear. Remember, a weapon is simply a tool. No need to fear the tool. Respect the power of the tool, yes, but fear? Not necessary. I hear women say they would never be able to shoot anyone. I'll tell you, all it took was that one incident at Walmart to convince me. Just one.
