We went to a Shooting Range.
I've been wanting to do this ever since I saw it at West Ed Mall. The thought of holding onto a real gun with real 9mm bullets did kind of scare me though.
So yesterday we went to the Shooting Range. They have a bullet proof window that you can look through. You can't help but laugh when you see someone jumping at each bullet their partner shoots.
I very nearly chickened out, but pushed myself into it. I think Neil would do anything if I was game for it. We signed a disclaimer form and were told to get some safety glasses and some ear muff things.
We each had a guy tell us how to load the gun up, then we got a try with two bullets first. I held up this small black gun and looked through to find the centre of the target. I counted to three, pulled back the trigger and BANG the gun went off. No joke I started shaking, I was scared of the damn thing but I also felt an adrenaline rush. I quickly fired the other round and put the gun back down.
The guy had loaded up another ten rounds for me, I had no idea how I was going to get through all fifty I struggled letting off two! 
OK another ten, lets get a grip Cassie, I held up the gun again and I knew Neil was going to do better than me if I didn't sort myself out. I tried to get a firm grip and keep the gun straight and steady. I let off another ten. I was starting to feel slightly better at this, after I let off all ten I pressed the realease and the bullet holder droped on the floor. Good job it was empty.
The guy loaded another ten, then passed it to me. I confidently clicked the pack in, and pressed a button in and I was ready to fire again. No joke at one point I got in a fluster again, and started shaking and for some reason I closed my eyes. 
I think it took about 4 mins to blow away fifty shots but it seemed longer and I couldn't wait to get out of there. Oh and before I forget, as I was waiting to get my next ten rounds I was jumping when Neil was shooting. It was such a loud noise, you can imagine what it must feel like if one of them hit a human body, at that force. Also as Neil was popping off his rounds an empty shell flew over and hit me on the thumb, it hurt a little.
Here's the results
This is mine
This is Neils
