Our Hawaiian Ohana: My first trip to the shooting range!

Today Jaime took me to the shooting range for the very first time. My dad & grandpa use to go when I was younger and I always wanted to go with them but of course being a girl they never let me go. Luckily, Jaime was recently introduced to this crazy adrenaline rushing pass time by his coworkers and since he was off today & I was home early from work we decided to go to the indoor range here in town. I gotta tell ya when we walked through those doors and I could hear the shots being fired my heart definitely started pounding. As we waited to get our guns & ammo I began to get VERY anxious. I started to get real hot, my palms were clammy, & my heart was beating out of my chest! My "Oh Shit-O-Meter" was definitely rising & fast! hahaha!!! I had no idea I'd be so nervous!

After finally getting everything situated we walked into the shooting range. I couldn't believe how loud it was in there, I even had on earplugs AND earmuffs. The sounds of the gunshots were even more intense inside the range, you can actually feel the vibrations when they go off. It was quite an experience. After somewhat getting use to the noise and Jaime showing me how to use the gun, it was finally my turn. I had never held a gun before, let alone shoot one, so this was definitely a memory I'll never forget. I was sooooo nervous!!! As I aimed for the bulls eye I could feel my hands shaking. I tried to keep as still as possible before finally taking my first shot. All I can say is...WOA!!!! Jaime warned me it was a rush but I had no idea! It was CRAZY!!!! Scary but a great natural high! Before I knew it we were out of bullets and it was time to go. =( I must say this was a really great experience and I'm glad that Jaime took me. Hopefully we can go back sometime soon since it's not too far from our house. =)

Here's a couple of pics Jaime took of me shooting for the very first time...I used a Glock 22 (.40 caliber)
