Charlton Heston is my new hero

What an odd place to find a anti-gun, bleeding heart liberal from New York. But oh the strange and wonderful things we do to satisfy curiosity!

So w
elcome to the Charlie Elliot gun range in Maysville, Georgia.


Gun shell.


More gun shells...rusting.


Yours truly, eyeing a target down range. I've been told my form is horrible but the rifle was so heavy I couldn't really hold it up on my own and I was a little afraid of the kickback.

To be honest, it wasn't as fun or as cathartic as I thought it would be. For the first 10 minutes, I embarrassingly and uncontrollably shrieked every time a gun was fired. However, it was fun to try to get a tight pattern on the target...but after a while, the cold soaked in and my shoulder began to hurt from the kickback. I’m glad I tried it though. Next time, onto hand guns! Woohoo!

I expect to see you on the hand grenade range next.

Here's a word of advice regarding recoil - press it firmly into your shoulder and press down with your cheek bone on the butt. That will anchor it into your body and stop any motion.

Keep on shooting. God needs you to be strong for Your Mighty Nation.
