I am now in Kidapawan City, a day earlier than our training schedule. There was not much to do except to let the day pass by and just relax. But our coordinator had something different in mind. By 10 in the morning they pick us up from our humble abode so that we can go on firing. Yes, their usual hobby… Our host Dr. Abejo and his wife Mam Sonia are avid shooters, including their children. They usually spent time going to the firing range from time to time.
So we proceeded to a firing range in a Military Camp stationed in Makilala, just a few kilometres drive from Kidapawan City.
Upon arrival, our able and energetic coordinator wasted no time preparing the gears and setting up the target as I set up the camera to capture this special moment.
Along with us were some nurses who have joined our training before. This is their first time to shoot a weapon. I am sure that they are very much excited to do so.
Of course no firing is done without proper safety. So Sir Bong conducted a short safety briefing to our first time shooters. He fired a few rounds so that they can see what it is like.
After such, each of us took turns firing the weapon. If you have not fired yet, I'm telling you, firing is fun and tiring. It can also make you hungry. So after firing, we proceeded to a restaurant or shall I say carenderia which serves all kinds of dishes from goat meat. It was indeed a great adventure. We laid back to our room and was advised to rest.. I have a feeling that we are going for another adventure by the evening...
I will certainly update you on our evening adventure. Stay tuned.... But before I go, I would like to thank our Sir Bong for this wonderful adventure!!!
