Emily followed the gentleman back to the range with her new gun. It was weird, knowing she had one. Ayden had gotten the same model, so Emily knew she had chosen well. Ayden fired first and when Emily saw the target her jaw dropped. Ayden was good - that was for sure.
Then it was her turn. The nerves she had been feeling came to the forefront of her mind. She had never fired a gun before. She knew she shouldn't be nervous; she was in a safe environment, but yet she felt it all the same. She became physically tense as Ayden explained how the gun worked.
Emily took a deep breath and aimed the gun down the range at the target. Every muscle was stiff and tense as she did so. She began to pull the trigger, but it didn't budge. She had forgotten to take the safety off. She blushed and turned it off as she heard the shop keep chuckle a bit.
She aimed again, the tension not lessened by her mistake and began to pull the trigger. It was harder to do than she expected, but eventually she fired, her eyes shutting as she did. The recoil made her take a few steps back to catch her balance.
She slowly opened one eye, and then the other to look at her handiwork. The target they had sent down the range was completely clean. She had missed. Emily heard a brief snort from the shop keep. He was trying not to laugh. She looked at him and he wiped the smirk from his face and then looked at Ayden who sighed.
"Ummm...maybe I should try again?"
