So I'm writing this action scene, which involves shooting--not my thang. And I thought perhaps learning to shoot might help the process.
I go to the range with an expert--ex-military--and I know I do not want to fire a pistol...those shells fly all over the place and freak me out.
The available revolver is a .357 Magnum. Okay...I think of Clint Eastwood, grit my teeth. I can do this...I can do this...
Huh? I'm no Clint Eastwood.
I try to concentrate, but I can't keep my eyes open. I point the gun--about five miles above the target, wince and...
BANG! Forget bang...there's no way to describe this explosion. Arms shake, knees bang together and then,
"Okay, do it again...but this time keep your eyes open."
Ugh! Never mind. I'll BS my way through the script.
Anyone else try to experience a scene? How did that work for ya?
