Last night I went to Riverside Magnum Range, which is an indoor shooting range. I hadn't been in a long time and my friend had never gone shooting before. We went inside, picked out a gun and some paper targets, then bought some ammunition, signed in, and geared up. One of the coolest things about the process is that you can choose from many different targets. There are some with one large target, some with a couple smaller targets, and others which show a robber holding a woman hostage.
We walked through a door into a small room, which is where you put on the eye and ear protection. Once we were ready we walked through the second door into the range. We picked a lane and started setting up. We hung the target and sent it down to a reasonable distance, then loaded the gun. We had a Glock 17 9mm, which is an average sized handgun. It seemed like once we got a hang of it we were out of ammuntion. There was a guy at the end of the range who had a pretty impressive shotgun. The sound from that made the Glock that we rented sound just like someone clapping their hands. His paper target looked pretty sad after he was done with it, too. Well, it was definitely something that I will do again. Maybe next time I'll try the shotgun...
