bunnikins is not allowed firearms. Or, in fact, pointy sticks.
So we went shooting, at a pistol range in Flemington.
To cut a long story short, they let you shoot 32 rounds, from 3 guns - a glock 9mm, a tenfoglio .38, and a winchester .357 magnum. Anddr_wally and one_dreamy_girl and I, we did ok - a few nines, some 8s, but a respectable number of 10s, from 5 metres. Go us. bunnikins scored, technically, either 31 or 32 tens, from 32 rounds. Even better, her last 6 shots (from the .357 magnum) were at 10 metres, and the single "9" from that lot of 6 was well and truly breaking the line between 9 and 10, making it technically a 10. The other 9 was from her first magazine, and it was hard to tell if it was breaking the line, or if the 10 right on the other side had broken the line. If it wasn't a ten, it was literally a millimetre away from a perfect 32/32.
For her first set wth the .357, she said "Hey, I've taken out the '1' in the '10', I should shoot out the '0'". And the range supervisor said "No point - you've made such a mess of the centre of the ten, it'll just flap about and let the bullet straight through."
After her first couple of shots at 10 metres, she said to the range supervisor "I must be going wide - I can't see them hitting the target.". And his response was "No, I told you, they're going right through the big hole you've made in the middle."
I stepped up to shoot after her, and the supervisor said "Tough act to follow, eh? Never mind. It's usually the women who are freakishly good at this."
This is my girlfriend. Be nice to her, because she's a freakishly good shot with large calibre handguns.
