Hasta la vista, baby!

Carson organized a session with the Melbourne International Shooting Club today for 2 hours of instructions and practice with air pistols, .22 revolvers and .38 revolvers. Started off with air pistols with pellets, which requires a one-hand grip and perpendicular stance. The kickback is minimal but it's not easy to get a good aim with only one hand. We moved onto .22 and .38 Smith & Wesson revolvers. Both can be gripped with 1 or 2 hands (I used 2 hands for steady aim) with a front-on stance. The kickback was stronger, but most people had better accuracy over the air pistols. Good fun, and might consider membership for $300/year in the future. Trying out the air pistol...I prefer the revolvers better. Instructor demonstrating on gripping the revolver That hits the spot! Up close and personal with the .38 revolver We killed the target backboard! Wendy, Nat & Ange
