Not just because I got to shoot my new Vaquero which was awesome! But more importantly I brought three non gun owners with me to teach them some basic shooting. One of my coworkers, my boss and my boss 12 year old daughter all wanted to give shooting a try, so off to the range we went today.
we started off with some basic safety rules and how to operate a firearm. I started everyone on my ruger 22/45 and 10/22. It was nothing but smiles! The adults moved up to shooting my SP-01 9mm and glock 30 and even tried the super scary 44mag..they loved every second of it. Shot some rounds out of my AR taking a a couple breaks for pictures along the way. My bosses daughter shot the AR but it was a little heavy for her, but she absolutely loved shooting the 22's, And she outshot her dad..by a lot!
Besides shooting my new vaquero I spent the whole trip loading mags and taking pictures. I haven't had a chance to do that in awhile and it's one of the things I love the most about shooting sports. The smiles on everyone's faces was worth it enough for me.
A damn good day.
