ᕦ(ò_óˇ) Day 9 of exercising everyday before the saloon opens
Woke up because of a nightmare at 7AM. Was hard to get up at 8AM today. In fact, I got up at 9AM and realized it's too late to do the 1h30m walk up the hill where the local gun club is. They opened at 10AM. I could come later since they're open until 12PM but I didn't want to show up later. I was quite excited yesterday. And now I didn't want to show up at 10AM just to sleep longer? Nothing good ever came from ideas like that.
So I took the train at 9:30AM to the hill and then walked up the hill.
I was then allowed to shoot some rounds with the air rifle, air pistol and .22 LR rounds:
I also learned that at the beginning, it's more important to "group your rounds" than to hit the center: if you consistently hit the same spot, it's easy to hit any spot since you can adjust your sights accordingly - at least with the air rifle, not sure about other guns.
Also, I learned that in Germany, anyone over 18 is allowed to buy an air rifle. I thought our gun laws would be stricter.
The recoil from the .22 was also interesting. I never felt recoil before. Now I am looking forward to try out 9mm or 5.56x45mm. Maybe next time if I am allowed. When I showed up, I wasn't sure if I could fire any live ammunition.
Paid 5€ for the expenses and walked at 12PM 7km back home. Got home quite late again, around 3PM. But I also stopped at a Subway to have some breakfast.
I think I'll go to the calisthenics park tomorrow. My feet need some rest, haha
Well done. That’s a good day! The principles of firing air rifle etc extend to larger calibres.. it just gives a bit more of a kick.
Aiming, as for fitness and any habit, rewards through consistency and adjustment where necessary.
