Today we went to the Mica shooting range about two hours from our school.We started with an hour talk about rifle handling and safety before practicing with a few different 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 still had a little kick to it. I did a great job on my first round and fired all my bullets on the target, which is better than I thought I was going to do. Just as I thought we were done , the instructor put us through a surprise drill which was quite embarrassing and intense. We had to drop down to our knees (with the instructor repeatedly blew a whistle right into our ears) while loading the bullet into the rifle , locking it, standing up and firing at a small target. After we fired one shot, we had to run to the other side and do the same thing with the instructor directly behind us blowing on the whistle like crazy. It was very fast paced and a little nerve wrecking, but needed to be done to put us in a stressful and distracting situation. When your in the bush guiding your guests and a lion charges unexpectedly, you wont have time to ask the lion to slow down while you load the rifle.
