Friday morning on the range 🙃
My hubby in his element. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better teacher. He’s incredibly patient with me and my hesitations. He let me get a feel for it and then helped me correct my stance. And I loved how happy it made him.

Outdoor Shooting
A couple weeks ago I ordered my first gun, a Walther CCP. The only portion of this was very easy, but I ran into a few small snags along the way when dealing with the local FFL dealer I chose. I could probably go into more detail on that, but I’m not sure I find it interesting enough to write about. Suffice it to say I had a bit of waiting, a bit of calling to smooth things out. And they did smooth, and I got my gun.
I had wanted to go shooting with my friend but as I wasn’t feeling very well towards the end of the week I decided to not make plans with him. And when Friday rolled around I was kinda glad I didn’t because I think I needed a lazy day of doing next to nothing.
So today I decided to go shooting and, finding the range I had planned on going to had a ventilation problem, decided to go where ventilation definitely wouldn’t be. Outdoors. Many twists and turny roads later, I could hear the unmistakable sound of gunfire, and I knew I’d found the place.
It was a beautiful day, and I felt happy and at home as I walked through the parking lot to pay for my time.
I’d bought 200 rounds but only ended up shooting 150 or less. The process at an outdoor range is different from an indoor. You take breaks so everybody can reset their targets, if you want, rather than being able to change out your targets whenever. I enjoyed the breaks, and I was glad I’d bought extra peel-on targets so I could see where my shots went.
The last time I changed my target, I went on to shoot a magazine full and got a great group, mostly on the left-hand side of the target, all in or around the bull’s eye. I was happy with that, and decided to pack up. Well, it was getting dark anyway! And everybody was clearing out.
Super fun time. I’m so glad I went to this outdoor range. I had thought about it and decided to go to the place I had been, but it’s like God or whatever was steering me to it.
Observations From a Shooting Class
Observations From a Shooting Class
I completed another training class yesterday and I decided to write what I have learned from fellow classmates. At all times we are all novices and experienced – skills HAVE to be practiced to be sustained. We have a great mix of experience among our classmates and goals for taking the class.
Jason was quiet and unassuming, but easy going. Jason had been shooting only since December, he decided…

Don't Go the Distance
Don’t Go the Distance
We all want to push the limits, to see what we can do. The trouble with shooting at a longer distance before establishing strong fundamentals is that even though you hit the target at 15, 20, 25 yards, you have no idea how you did it. Inconsistent results can frustrate new shooters and be discouraging. Mastering the seven fundamentals of marksmanship is more important than shooting at a distance,…

Men have it so easy! I’m serious, they could wear khaki pants and polo shirts with close toed shoes and be all set for the range, either in/outdoors! For women, there is much more to consider. Well, there may be some useful tips for men too…

Let’s take this Head to Toe…
Cardinal Rule: Comfort is #1 while shooting.
Hats – Absolutely! Outside, it will protect you from the sun and elements; inside, the hat will limit the amount of lead and gasses that get into your hair. I prefer Velcro backs, that way I can take the hat on/off around my ponytail easily.
Ponytails are IN! The less hair to get in your way, the better. Pull your hair back, up- whichever is the most comfortable for you.
Makeup. Keep it simple ladies. Liquid foundations and indoor ranges do not mix well. Mineral makeup is best suited for indoor ranges. One you will look fresher and it is healthier. Liquid foundations will trap the air in the range on your skin (yuck) and I don’t know many women who like to wash their faces after being at the range before they leave the range. Waterproof mascara and eyeliner, and matte lipstick or a little bit of tinted lip balm. You want nothing that could be sticky on your skin. Best thing to do is wash your face after your range visit.
Earrings. Studs are fine but dangles may dig into your skin. Hoops may pull as well. It is best to remove any earrings before putting ear muffs on. If using ear plugs, no need to worry about your earrings.
Tops. Higher necklines are best for preventing the hot brass dance. Hot brass casings will eject from your firearm and travel as you are shooting. Gaps in your top are the perfect place for these scalding hot casings to land. You can change tops in the bathroom if you are dedicated to your cute blouse. Best range wear tops? Pro-gun, pro-women t-shirts!
If you are going to an outdoor range, outdoor performance shirts are fabulous. Sun-protection is highly important.
Bras. I think it goes without saying, you should be as comfortable as possible while handling firearms. Keep the restrictive, pretty, painful bras for another time.
Pants/Shorts. Unless you are doing a ton of kneeling shooting positions, you do not need tactical pants. Lightweight pants with cargo pockets are wonderful for indoor and outdoor ranges. Again, comfort is key. If you are doing kneeling shooting positions, get a pair of tactical pants with reinforced knees and consider knee pads.
Belt. The reason to wear a belt is to carry a holster. First, check with your range to make sure using a holster while shooting is allowed. A good gun belt is rigid and at least 1.5 wide. Most pants will accommodate 1.5 belts.
Shoes. Close-toed is the only way to go. Remember the hot brass dance? Keep your piggies safe and burn free, cover them up. Do not get a pedicure then come to the range.
Safe Shooting, Jessica
