I didn't say shooting stuff wasn't fun. I NEVER said shooting stuff
isn't fun. I own guns. Handguns, in fact. At the shooting range
there are man targets that I love. To take them down with the 22
requires a good head-shot and I can do it 5 out of 5 times. The 9mm I
can't hit the broad side of a barn with.



Are you consistently missing with the 9 mm? Are your sights off? Is your
stance off? Are you not using a good two-handed grip?


Yeah, consistantly. Haven't quite figured out what I'm doing wrong.
The hubby can do a nice tight cluster on the bullseye with the beast, my
shots usually hit the ground way short of the target. I know the sights
are good, I know how to stand and hold a gun. Like I said, I'm a
dead-eye with 22. The Browie is quite a bit lighter than the 22 so I
thought it would be easier to hold steady, but not so.

I think I may be pulling up my hands at the last second because I hate
the recoil so much. The first time I shot with it my right hand ached
for two weeks afterward. A psychological block of some sort.
Fortunately, I'm not a cop or a soldier so it doesn't much matter.
