went out with my girl last night, she just bought herself a S&W M&P M2.0 9MM, so we went to the local range and fired off a couple of boxes of ammo. She did great, especially considering it was her first time firing that pistol, hit the bull 3 times, and stayed in the main body mass every shot...i'm so proud...choking up...and i'm getting to like my hipoint carbine more and more, ten inside the 8 ring every time, as fast as i can fire it....of course, Bud's range is only 25 yards deep, but i'm pretty sure i could do that out to 65-70. there's a skeet shooting range, but you have to be a member, but fortunately, i know 3 or 4 members and one of them is usually up for blowing some shit up, gonna get with one of them and see how it does out to 100-120 yds, it's supposed to be good for that distance, if you can see the target...not sure if i can or not..may just need really big targets
oh, and we ate at Quaker steak...which was better than i was expecting, and went to the Aquarium after.
