The ultimate newbie here. Until today, I had never shot a gun. However, since I expect civilization to collapse in the next couple of years, I figure I better get cracking on learning. I knew I would only like the classics, so I bought a revolver (SP101 2 1/4") and a lever gun (336). I took the 101 to the range today. Now, I have read up so much on safety, shooting, ammo, stances, etc., that I felt like I was already an expert and this would be a piece of cake. Turns out it not quite as easy to put the bullet through the bullseye as I thought.
I printed a target on regular paper and was shooting from 10 yards. I shot about 80 rounds of mixed 38/357, and when I was done, there were only 39 holes in the paper. So either I had magic, healing paper, or I need to practice some more.
The good news is that it was lots of fun, and the gun performed beautifully. I am sure that when I take the lever gun out next week, I will hit nothing but bulleyes from 100 yards. That is right, isn't it????
