So I finally got to experience firing rifles; everything from a .22 to some sort of unusual Romanian sniper's rifle. My gun friends were very generous in sharing their knowledge and firearms with me, letting me ask endless questions and even filling the magazines for me.
But then it rained, and my notes are completely useless.
*sigh*

LOL! Your notes! Fire the damn guns! Feel it, become one with the smell, burn, tearing holes into targets!
ReplyDeleteSlog through the mud, weapon ready, dart behind trees, gun up and poised but protected from the rain. Feel the target in your nose hairs. Know when the gun discharges you'll be temporarily deaf, the hand will burn, and you'll smell...
