Ashes - book 1
“I notice Joe, the manager, is moving targets for a couple of guys with rifles. He waves at me and points to Ken. I motion him over.
“Joe, this is my buddy, Ken. He’s learning to shoot.”
The two shake hands and then he squints at me, the wrinkles on his leathery face coming alive. “What did you bring today? I hope you didn’t bring the cannon; I can hardly control that.”
I shake my head. “I brought the 9 mm and the .22.” I open the case and hand Ken the yellow shooting glasses and some earplugs.
...Joe grabs the guns and puts them on the table, barrels pointed down range. “Ken, you ever shoot before?”
Ken turns slightly red. “I, uh, well, to be honest. No.”
Joe slaps his shoulder. “Everyone starts somewhere. Don’t feel bad.”
Ken glances at me as Joe continues. “Make sure you explain the rules here and go over gun safety. I trust you, but I’ll be checking up on you both.”
I’ve always loved the feel and precision of a firearm. I place both hands on the metal for proper control and raise the gun to shoulder level.MoreLess
