My range had members event today and first prize was a XDM 45.
As usual, I never win anything, no luck, not even for the small accessories prizes.
However, here's the good part.
There were reps from Springfield and Vortex offering free try out sessions.
So I got to try few guns that I never shot before in my life, including rifles.
I never shot 1911 pistol so I tried that first.
I didn't realize that it doesn't have any travel.
I was still pulling the trigger thinking of the take up when it went off. Caught me off guard.
Then another first in my life, rifles. Also, another first, any gun with a scope.
First rifle I tried was the Springfield 300 blackout with suppressor with Red dot on the scope.
Great shooting gun. Now, it feels like shooting a gun.
Next was Christensen BA TActical 308 bolt action with green laser (or red). Another first, never shot bolt action before.
This one has great kick but felt good.
It was loud. Everyone in the next lanes looked at me when I shot this.
Now I'm spoiled.
Finally, tried 9mm Ruger PC Carbine.
This one takes regular pistol 9mm cartridges.
At 25 yards, I hit inside the target somewhere. Scope helped.
Oh man, I can feel my pocket burning already.
It's so amazing that I was scared to even touch a handgun few months ago.
