When and How It All Started

Memorial Week-end 2008 was when my interest in guns came alive

With the guys in one room and the woman in the other, I over heard Darrel talk about guns. I shouted out that I wanted to go shooting, he said lets go and that is where it started. He sat me down and taught me the first 3 safety rules of handling a gun.

1.] Always Keep the Gun pointed in a safe direction
2.] Always Keep Finger off Trigger until Ready to Shoot
3.] Always Keep the Gun Unloaded / Action Open when not in Use

Off to the woods we went. I shot the gun oh about 10 times and that is all it took, I was hooked.

Tuesday I looked at the NRA site looking for some kind of classes for beginners. I spotted one class that looked like what I needed but it didn’t start until September. If you are anything like me, that was just too long to wait. I scrolled down and found a really cool name http://www.wildwestacademy.com/ . Sunday was the class and I signed up. His [Mark Cortis] motto is Any Time Any Where.
