Dad and I took a class at the Iowa River Gun Club range yesterday. About a month ago we took a class to get our Permit to Carry, and the man who did that class said we do a class at the range to teach you how to fire. Dad and I said sure! (I mean it was only $15 bucks and all we had to do was bring eye and ear protection, and ourselves.)
It turned out that there were only four of us in the class. Dad and I and a very nice couple. The other lady and I both had pink safety glasses, which is a very important detail...
We took it nice and slow. Rich set us up with Ruger Mark II .22's.

Ruger MK II, nice gun. I highly recommend. |
We loaded one round, shot, loaded one round, shot, one round, shot... Then we worked up to two rounds, then three until we'd shot 10 rounds.

1st target. First round missed by less than .25 inches. |
We shot another ten rounds...

2nd target...10 hits. |
Then we had fun! Five rounds at a time, we had to load the magazine and fire off all five rounds in 20 seconds.

3rd target, all 25 rounds within the 7 circle, except the one that whizzed passed his right ear. |
Afterwards, dad and I went snooping and he ended up buying a Mark III in stainless steel. Needless to say, as soon as I am able, I'munna be buyin' my own and down at the range a LOT!
I'm going to have to be very, very careful not to piss you off :)
