wwillson Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Brueggma met myself and another shooting friend of mine at one of the local ranges this weekend. It's really fun to put a name to a face and build that 'shooting buddy' network. Brueggma may be a fairly new shooter, but sure handled himself like a pro. Not a single time did I feel like I was shooting with someone I needed to keep a watchful eye on. I hope he had a good time and enjoyed shooting a variety of guns. After shooting his Glock, I think I might be closer to becoming a Glock owner. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 That is very cool!I would love to shoot with you and G-man.Funny thing, after firing my shooting buddy's 5 Glocks, I didn't want one at all. They don't feel right in my hand like a Sig, FN, Ruger, or any 1911. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I've found that with the big gripped handgun, when you pick them up they feel weird, but if you shoot them enough you don't even notice.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brueggma Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Wayne, I certainly did have a good time with you guys! Thank you for sharing your time, expertise, and firearms with me. BUT you're going to have to let me buy you some lunch next time before we go, its a little hard to talk/listen with ear plugs in.. I really appreciated the tips you guys gave concerning my bad shooting habits, that I never noticed before! ie: leaning back when firing. I have a lot to learn, but I think I have the basics down: 1. ALWAYS assume the firearm is loaded2. never point the firearm at anything you don't intend to shoot.3. safety check a firearm when someone gives it to you. (see #1) The only bad thing about about the outing is that I now really want a 1911! Does the addiction for a new firearm ever go away?
