Top Gun....

No, not the movie but the place we went for our first group "shooting." We figured that while we're in Texas, we may as well learn how to point and pull a trigger since carrying a handgun here is like carrying a wallet (for most people, that is). As it turned out, I was the only one of the group who had never so much as held a gun. Now, after my first experience, I can say that I gave it a fair try but don't think I'll be holding a gun again any time soon.  Admittedly, they scare the bejesus out of me, between the deafening noise, the bullet shells snapping back and popping you in the head, and  and the fact that it could potentially and literally kill the person next to you if you're not carful. Yikes!  Another reason I don't belong in Texas.  However, I'm grateful to my friends for introducing me to a new experience.   At least I can say that while I lived in Texas, I shot a gun like a true westerner.  :-)

Good shot Lis!

Mike and Neal were actually very good shooters.
It's a good thing too because if it came down to me
using a gun in a real situation, I'd probably shoot
my foot off.  I'd rather play the damsel in distress
in this particular instance, and let the guys
protect me.  :-)
