My friends had invited me to go shooting on several occasions but I always politely refused.
First off I wanted to make sure I drove there in case I wanted to leave . I didn't know where I was going so they gave me the GPS
directions .

This was not a public range it was a private club that also was a hunting and fishing sportsmen club.
When I pulled into the long driveway it had several signs ,skeet range , rifle range , pistol range , club house etc..

I drove to the rifle range where I would be meeting my friends. First thing I noticed was a
picnic and barbecue area where several families were having a picnic with children running around ,laughing just being kids.

Next thing was the parking lot at the rifle range. First thing I noticed were several Obama, Biden bumper stickers on
vehicles , that made me feel more at ease being the first time at a gun range.

I meet my friends and some other shooters there and was able to fire many types of rifles.
The thing that amazed me the most was the money some of these rifles cost.

I jotted down some names such as GA precision , Barrett , Desert Tactical Arms ,Accuracy International.
Also the optics on some of these rifles were incredible to look through.
I was instructed on how to do wind calls , read a reticle for bullet drop as we were going to shoot long range.

I seemed to do well firing and after about 2 hours I decided to call it a day.
I thanked everyone there and drove home.
