Emily felt slightly embarrassed by her mistake. Ayden came over to help, first of all telling her not to close her eyes. Emily didn't feel like she was being chastised or anything and nodded in understanding. At least the nerves were gone now after the first shot and she was able to relax.
Ayden helped Emily position herself better so that she'd be able to handle the recoil better, and walked her through the process, step by step. Emily followed her directions At the end she reminded Emily to not close her eyes again and to pull the trigger softy.
Emily did so, this time not closing her eyes. She had hit the target. While it wasn't a great shot, she had still hit the target. Emily shrugged. "It was better right? Can I try it again on my own?"
Ayden backed off "Sure."
Emily relaxed and got back into the stance that Ayden had taught her. She needed to get used to getting into it herself and took aim. She took ad breath and fired again with similar results. The shot was a little farther away than when Ayden had helped her, but she was consistent.
She decided to try a little more on her own by taking another shot. She adjusted her aim. Her shots had gone left and down, so she moved the gun right and up and fired again. She had adjusted a little too much.
She dropped her stance and looked over her shoulder at Ayden, keeping the gun facing towards the range - safety first you know. "Think I'm starting to get the hang of it. Need to keep practicing though."
Emily smiled. It was kind of fun.
