Today we went to the Mica shooting range about an hour past Hoedspruit,which was pretty neat. We had an hour talk about rifle handling and safety and then went to a little area where we shot off our rifles. They didn’t give us the .458 or .375 to shoot because its pretty strong, but we slowly worked ourselves up with a .303 which was still pretty decent. Glad to say I got all the bullets he gave me into the target, which is better than I thought I was going to do. Then just as I thought we were done , the instructor puts us through a little drill which was quite embarrassing and intense. We had to drop down to our knees while he blew a whistle right into our ears over and over and over again while loading the bullet into the rifle , locking it, standing up and firing a small target, then we had to run to the other side and do the same thing with the instructor followed right behind us blowing in our ears with the whistle. It was pretty intense but needed to be done to put us in a stressful and distracting situation, because when a lion for example charges we wont have time to ask the lion to slow down while we load the rifle, lol.
