Bang Bang

pistol

Shells

Sunday was real exciting cause I got to go shooting with shotguns and pistols as part of the Shooting Sampler Program offered by Singapore Shooting Association, all for $120.

Started the day off at the Bukit Timah Range (middle pic) where we shot clay discs (aka pigeons) with 12 gauge (last pic) shotguns. Fired off about 20 rounds and probably hit like 8-10 targets. Not that easy as the aim is more feel than accuracy as opposed to rifle shooting. Had some problems at the start but once I corrected my aiming method, I was consistently hitting the targets. Woot! Its really gratifying to pull the trigger and hear the boom and see the clay pigeon shatter, concluding with the acrid smell of cordite. Pure bliss haha. I'll probably head back one day, especially after a tough week haha. Great stress relief.

Pistols were a little harder as the sights and all were trickier to master. Shot a HK USP, Beretta 92 and a CZ something. Great experience and I finally get to shoot the guns in real life as opposed to the games. Btw the Beretta is one piece of crap. Loved the USP, loaded well, very stable and predictable and real accurate.
