At a secret location in the California hills, I got my first lesson in how to fire an assault rifle. The weapon is a CAR-15, the civilian version of the M-16.

In this shot you can see the brass flying. Compare it to the one on the left and you’ll see it’s in sequence, but we saw the brass moving through the air.

Police Captain Dave R. instructs me in the proper stance and grip of the CAR-15. Not to mention proper range etiquette and safety. Always point the weapon down range. Always handle the weapon as if it is loaded. If the weapon jams wait for assistance from the range master. Don’t Shoot The Turkey Vultures!

My target is proof that even an IT contractor can learn to shoot well. I won’t be applying for a position with the SWAT team any time soon. Nor will I be winning any marksmanship contests. But if I need to hit someone, I will be able to make the shot.

Hooded Merganser male and female. Check out the heinous trash in the background.

Immature or light colored Red Shoulder Hawk. This one looks nothing like
most of the ones you’ll see in the wild. It’s much lighter in color. This shot
was shortly before it flew to the other side of the pond.

Believe it or not, this is the money shot. You can clearly see the red
shoulders on the wings. This was the only way I could identify the
bird. Because it’s color is so much lighter than normal, it was a
difficult ID.
