That Was Then, This Is Now - A Year Later

One year has come and gone. It has been an adventurous year indeed. Last Memorial Weekend [2008] was the first time I shot a gun not knowing a thing and just this past Memorial Weekend [2009] I was teaching someone who never held a gun. I was able to give back what was given to me.

Some more first too. Again, for the first time with Darrel, I shot a .22 rifle. And 1 out of 2 skeet shooting was so bad for the first time, with a .20 gage shotgun. OK, so the first once was luck and the second one I tried just to hard. What fun I had. I never shot at an outdoor range, that was a first as well. Up North under the blue sky ans sunshine.

Here I am having fun and being an Instructor at the same time. In the past year I have become so passionate about teaching self defense with a firearm. It is something I am good at. It is something that gives me great joy, to see someone come in knowing nothing and leaving with more then they ever expected. Just like I did my first day.

And when people come back and keep practicing, getting better, it is good to know that there is just another person out there prepared, for something I hope and we all hope that we never ever have to face.
