So my husband had been pushing me to learn how to shoot a gun for years. I really am very afraid of being around them, much less touching one. Finally I gave in when my friend and her family were going to go shoot too.
On Fridays Ladies get to shoot for free. You do have to pay for your bullets and target. I would go during the day, you'll wait a long time for a lane later in the evening. When we finally got in, I was really jumpy once I got in the room where you do your shooting. I'm sure there's a name for that room, but I don't know it. Even with the headphone covering your ear, it's very loud. I jumped every time. My husband asked if one of the workers could show me how to shoot, since if he tried to teach me we would probably end up fighting. The instructor was great! He could tell how nervous and jumpy I was and knew what to say to calm me down. He gave concise instructions. I was surprised at how easy it was. I felt more comfortable. I'm still not a fan of guns, but I'll probably try again.
