just a girl pulling the trigger on a new project
The more you know the farther you go
(10/10/2023) Again i find myself on YouTube. came across 50 Round Drills so I’ve been working on the very first part— the lower and reset one. I’ve also started tracking exactly (at the end of the mag) where everything is going. theres fly aways. But generally I’m grouping a bit more
Today I tried something new. Tacticool GF released a video on what you’re supposed to do with your non dominant hand when shooting. Pretty much, it drives while your trigger hand is focused on pulling the trigger. Well, damn if that didn’t fix my lower left issue! still working on how I position myself in…
Wasn’t sure how much those dry fires and advice would actually translate to the range. May I eat my words/doubts. Is it perfect? Nope. Is it a crap ton better than it was? Oh yeah. I’m over my thoughts of just working on my tan. Besides, I’d just get a burn and peel anyway. And…
There are so many options out there for trying to figure out what you are doing with a gun. Pink Rhino is a dry fire snap cap that when the firing pin strikes the back of this nifty little thing, it lights up a laser for just a second. Now I’m cheap. There are little…

After my introduction to firearms by my most awesome father-in-law; a retired Army veteran and longtime hunter, I drove back to SoCal itching to try more. A google search later, I discovered that there were a couple of indoor ranges in my area that would be willing to rent to people. Most awesome! And even…
I’m late to this game, learning how to use a firearm. Like really late. You see, I grew up with the guns are bad indoctrination— standard issue living in SoCal. “No one needs a gun,” they said. “Just call the cops,” they said. “There’s no safe use for a gun,” they said. And I believed…
