Whoever said that shooting a gun is a hobby that can only be enjoyed by men probably did not consider those adventurous and sporty women who are always on the go and ready for some action-filled activities in their routine. And for the record, I am one of those female species.
My first gun firing experience was way back December 8, 2012. During that time, I never did thought that I can hold a gun and actually fire it because first and foremost, I don't have a friend who has that kind of hobby and so I didn't have the means. Opportunity strike when the head of security at my work invited me to participate during their (security personnel) Pistol Marksmanship Training. Lucky me! =) Right then I knew that it was time for me to get out of the box and try out new things so that I could choose which ones I would like to do again and which I would never waste my time doing for the second time.
We went to A-GRIP Security & Investigation Services, Inc. It's funny because the name sounds like my surname. The venue of the firing range is located at the Basement 2 Parking right at the exit of MRT Guadalupe Station. It was sort of an isolated place that you would not recognize it being there all this time.

| Nah. It's not ours. |
I was able to fire 24 shots using a 9mm pistol although 10 of which is free since per person only 14 are allowed and will be scored. The magazine consists of 7 bullets so I basically had almost 4 rounds. Tabulating the official 14 shots, my score? 110/140. Not bad for a first timer isn't it? Maybe I should give credit to my big round eyes as well. :D

| One happy kiddo. |

| Only for documentation purposes. Did not try it since I am afraid of its recoil. |

| Fierce! =) |
This activity proved to be one of the things that I wouldn't mind doing again. And so, gun firing encore last September 2, 2013. Hmm.. I have to say, firing is sweeter the second time around? Why? I scored 124/140! I don't mind doing what men can do. At least on some aspects there is gender equality. =)
