Shooting for the First Time

  I am married to a retired US Army (no wonder he loves guns!). It was my second week here and Larry wanted me to go with him and his friend to test some guns to see if which ones needed fixing.  I was feeling a bit nervous and excited at the same time. Well, guess what? It wasn't hard at all. At first he taught me about proper safety precautions and to follow them always. I've learned to keep these in mind: 

1. All guns are always loaded. ALWAYS assume a firearm is loaded and treat it so, even if the mag is empty and the chamber has been checked. 

2.NEVER point a firearm in an unsafe direction, and do not point it at anything you are not intending to fire at when you are intending to fire at it.Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. Keep your gun pointed in a safe direction at all times: on the range, at home, loading, or unloading.

3. Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until your sights are on the target (and you are ready to shoot).

4. Be sure of your target. Know what it is, what is in line with it and what is behind it. Never shoot at anything that you haven't positively identified.

5. Wear ear plugs to protect your hearing.

6. Control your breathing and Relax!

Back to Writing. Welcome 2012!

  Although this is a little too late, I am now here in the land of milk and honey, A late Happy New Year Greetings to all! Wow, I can't believe it has been that long since I last published a post on this blog. I was so busy with the visa processing and bonding with family and friends before leaving the Philippines.

  Anyhow, life has been so good and even with the challenges life threw at me last year, I still managed to move on with the help of my family and friends. I am now in my new home here with my dear husband. I am looking forward for winter to be over so it gets warmer and I can start learning how to drive or do something outside with hubby. But for now, I devote myself to cooking dishes and baking desserts which I really wanted to do for so long now.

  I know I am a horrible writer, I have about a 1000 posts queued up in my brain, but these things take forever to write, and now that I am still adjusting here, I don't have forever to waste.The good news here is, I really love sharing thoughts and I'm happy with what I've written so I will still be blogging again.

  Well,  I probably have to get back to writing , so I should let you go. Thank you for taking time to read my blog.
