"Three out of 26.
Not bad for your first time. You now have something to aim for!" my instructor tells me. He then unloads the remaining 4 rounds into the upper half of my target.
Show off! I don't mind; the instructor is my son. On his target, he was 29 for 30 shots.
Yes, I will work to achieve 27 out of 30 shots on the target. Game on! My first
day at shooting practice would make anyone nervous. I was nervously shaking
because I had never handled a pistol, much less a Beretta M9, before. I paid $20
for the range and $26 for the box of ammo, which makes it about $15 per each
of my 3 holes on the target. Who knows where the other lead landed?
Before I attempted to fire off my first shot, I racked the slide back to chamber the round, and did something wrong. The spring-loaded slide caught the inside flesh of my left pinky and there I was . . .blood dripping off my finger which was now attached to the loaded gun. I said embarrassed, "Son can you get this gun off my finger?"
All said and done, I left the range confident, with a new goal to achieve; despite our scores, my son was actually the shakier one. We did not open the second box of ammo.
