an evening at the range
i got to go to shooting with johnny last night at on target in murfreesboro. i took my .45 and he brought a few different guns for me to shoot. we had a good time. the highlight of the trip, however, was getting to shoot johnny’s s&w .500 magnum.
if you’ve never seen one of these things, they’re massive. it was so heavy i had a hard time holding it upright to point it at the target. pull the trigger and KA-FREAKIN-BOOM… everybody at the range comes walking down to our lane to see what we’re shooting. i just about dropped the thing the first time i shot it. it wasn’t painful, just hard to hold on to. johnny even shot it a couple times one handed. i was surprised with how accurate the gun was; even shooting one handed, we managed accuracy that was on par with the other guns we had there.
johnny also brought his ar-15 for me to shoot since i’m kind of interested in buying one. i love these guns. they’re so much fun to shoot and it doesn’t go unnoticed that they’re very cool looking. anyway, here are a couple pictures, one of the .500 mangum in my hand for a size reference and another of me holding the ar-15.
