Artemis smiled faintly, as he watched Stefan fire. It wasn’t bad for his first time. Stepping forward once he’d lowered the rifle, Artemis gestured for Stefan to remove the protective ear coverings before speaking. “Not bad,” he said. “At least you hit the target. You’re too tense. Try to relax more, don’t think too much.” He stepped back, gesturing for Stefan to try again.

Stefan pushed the ear coverings off so they sat around his neck. He nodded a little at the advice, before putting the protective coverings back over his ears. Bringing the rifle up once again he fired another shot, this time hitting more towards the center of the target.

Bo: That works, and don't worry I'm not like a diva or anything I just am a girl with her guitar and a notebook. I have all the editing equipment so it's just a good microphone in a soundproof room. Need me to pick up anything on the way?

Stefan: No just bring any musical instruments you want. I have my own here for use, but I know most musicians prefer to play their own.

Bo: How about Tuesday next week at 11 am?

Stefan: can we make it 11:30? I have an appointment at 10 and I want to make sure I'm back in time to have everything set up and ready to go

Stefan: in that case I can manage it for $20 per hour. I can't really go any lower than that.

Bo: I appreciate it! 20 is perfect.

Stefan: great. When should I schedule you for?

Bo: Damn. Okay.

Stefan: i could possibly go lower if you have your own music editing software. i can just send the rough cut of the recording to you in that case

Bo: that would be nice

Stefan: in that case I can manage it for $20 per hour. I can't really go any lower than that.

Artemis wondered if Stefan realized how pretentious that sounded. He shook his head, putting his own safety equipment on before handing Stefan the rifle. “Keep the barrel pointed toward the ground at all times until you’re ready to shoot. Same with your finger on the trigger. Keep it off until you’re ready.” He showed Stefan where to put his hands, before bringing up his arms and correcting his stance. “Don’t close one eye, that doesn’t help. Take a deep breath, and on the exhale, shoot. The target is down there. Wait until I back up.”

He patted Stefan’s shoulder before backing away from him and gesturing for him to go ahead.

Pointed towards the ground and finger off the trigger. Makes sense.” Stefan brought his arms up, the way he’d seen them do in movies, before Artemis had come to move them so that they were actually in the right position. Don’t close one eye. Take a deep breath. He tried to remember what Artemis had said as he moved his finger back towards himself, pulling the trigger. A loud blast emitted as he fired, the bullet hitting the outer edge of the right side of the target.

Bo: I would love that thank you very much. How much will this cost me?

Stefan: I usually start at $30 an hour depending on what you all need

Artemis nodded. “Yeah, my whole family does. They’re all about … farm to table, forest to table, that type of stuff. They sell meat and produce to Big Apple … that’s how I got the job there.” He stopped when the reached the rifle range, turning toward Stefan. “So I’ve been hunting since I was a kid.” He took the rifle from Stefan and nodded to the safety equipment in his hands. “Put those on and step up to the line.” He nodded to the mark on the ground that indicated where the shooters were supposed to stand.

“Oh that’s pretty cool” Stefan replied as Artemis talked about how his family was into farm and forest to table. “We always had organic stuff shipped to the house, which I guess is like the rich person version of that. Pay someone else for the farm or forest part.” With the instructions to put on the safety equipment, he quickly obliged, before moving to the mark that had been indicated.

huntsman-artemis​:

“Yeah, I figured,” Artemis said with a brief smile. “I’m gonna show you. Come on,” he said, gesturing for Stefan to follow him. “Don’t forget to grab some shooting glasses and hearing protection,” he said, gesturing to the safety equipment on display. “Make sure you have those on when you’re shooting.”

Stefan went to grab some of the safety equipment, before continuing to follow Artemis towards whichever range they were going to now. “So, how long have you been shooting for?” he asked, “you said you hunt, right?” he wondered if that determined when someone started using guns. 

[stefankonig]

huntsman-artemis​:

“Uh, yeah, there should be some available through there,” Artemis said with a nod toward the signs that pointed toward the gun rental area. “You’ll want to get a rifle if you want to be on the same range as me. Get a Ruger American if they have one. They’re good for accuracy.”

He gave Artemis a thumbs up, repeating to himself under his breath the name of the one the other had suggested. In total he was gone about seven minutes before he had returned. “You do know I’ve never fired one of these before, right?” 

[stefankonig]

huntsman-artemis​:

Artemis set his bag down, pulling his rifle out to start assembling it as he waited for Stefan to arrive at the shooting range. He still wasn’t sure why he’d asked Stefan to meet him here. No, he did know why, he just hoped he didn’t fuck anything up. He was more comfortable here, at least. He knew what to do here. He knew he was good at it.

“Hey,” he said with a nod, when he looked up and saw Stefan approaching. “Did you bring your own piece or do you need to rent one?”

(( @stefankonig​ ))

“Oh no, I didn’t” he shook his head, not sure if he was supposed to, which would have been difficult seeing as he didn’t own any guns. There seemed to be the option of a rental though, which was good “Where should I go to do that? Rent one, I mean”

Bo: I was, yes. Do you have anything on your schedule lately?

Stefan: I have a few sessions next week, but nothing is completely filled up. I could schedule you a time if you wanted

Bo: Hey this is weird but are you the fella from the bar who said they had a studio I could record in?

Stefan: that would be me. are you looking for some studio time?

[stefankonig]

huntsman-artemis​:

He didn’t have to be normal? That was a relief. Artemis took a drink of his own beer, trying to think of topics of things that he liked. He rarely shared his interests with anyone. “Have you, uh, ever been to the shooting range?” he asked after a moment.

“I don’t think I have” he shook his head, “we had archery as part of our studies at school, but I don’t think that’s quite the same thing” he smiled a little, hoping that talking about something Artemis enjoyed would help with his nerves. “Do you go a lot?”
