Hobby..plans..

Those who actually know me, know that It's extremely difficult for me to commit to any one thing. I get bored easly. Unless someone is literally down my back, demanding that I participate in something on a regular basis (for example, my crossfitting days while i was stationed in Germany... which was actually super fun!), don't expect me to commit to anything. It's just  not in my nature. I am genetically unable to become hooked to anything for long-term periods. With that said, I took my CCW/NRA basic pistrol training class today. I somehow got the class "on the cheap"--$80 for a 9hr+ class, plus $15 to shoot (most classes start at $150). I realized that learning how to properly handle a weapon will take more effort than just visiting the range 'every-so-often'. This was my first time shooting at a range (i refuse to count my 2days of shooting rifles in the military) so I was not horrible, but not good. I was nervous as heck, which is probably one reason why I kept anticipating every shot (not a good thing when trying to shoot a paper plate from the distance). Anyhow, I realized that this could actually become a neat investment. I registered from Irish dance class but then canceled at the last minute b/c I became interested in Krav Maga. Although, I'm definately still going to register for Krav... i think that I should apply most of my energy/money to shooting at the range for now. Krav is such a huge investment (well worth the money... but money that I really don't have at the moment). I made myself believe that I could take on the responsibility of owning a weapon and pursue an additional hobby at the same time. I guess that I didn't realize how handgun shooting could be a hobby within itself...   which is WAY cheaper than paying for Krav training. I will save Krav and Irish dance lessons for future endeavors. For now, I'm going to pay huge attention to becoming comfortable with my weapon.
