Great post Sidney!! Good to know that you did well and it will be very helpful for them who don’t have a gun or experience shooting. Thanks a lot for sharing this.

It’s good to hear that you did well. Your recoil experiences are definitely informative for those that have not experienced shooting either a rifle or a pistol.

That actually sounds like a lot of fun. I might have to get my wife to do this and see if there’s a citizen’s police acadamy where we are from.

It’s nice that you’ve enjoyed your enrollment in the Citizen’s Police Academy, learning about all the complexities that the officers must go through to do their jobs. That’s a creative idea to use the shooting experience in your writing as well.

In reply to Marsha R. West. Very cool! One of the different things for me was that I'm so used to six shooters when it comes to pistols, the way the empty rounds fly out was very different. It's not something you see mentioned a lot in books, either.

Hey, Sidney. Great post. Good for you getting to do this. I got my LCC or whatever those initials are to carry concealed a couple of years ago. I had a scene coming up in in book I was working on and realized I didn’t have a clue. I’d shot a rifle like at a skeet range, but you’re right this is different. Not to mention, it gives us a better perspective on what police do.
