Chapter 235: Apprentice
It wasn’t long before they stopped at the shooting area.
Rose sees two tall, bulky men standing beside the black rectangle table. Her eyes are beaming when she notices a few rifles she is familiar with lying on the table.
"Rose, have you ever used a sniper rifle before?" Edward Spencer glanced at Rose beside him. His curiosity about Rose’s shooting ability grew as soon as they arrived at this outdoor shooting range.
"I’ve never used a firearm."
Seeing the wide smile framing her face as her eyes sparkled at the rifle on the table, Edward Spencer chuckled quietly. This girl looks like a child who is so happy when she meets her favorite toy.
"Interesting! Mmm... Do you want to choose which rifle you will use?" Edward patiently asks her. He really wanted to suggest to her to choose the best rifle that fit her. But, his heart tells him otherwise; He needs to test Rose about her knowledge of rifles, so he remains silent.
"I’ve researched about the types of guns and rifles... before coming to this place." She smiles and glances at her grandfather. She had already memorized all kinds of guns and rifles in her head. "I think I will use this one...." She pointed at rifle M110. This rifle is easier to use and also not too heavy.
What Sam said earlier to her, the stronger her hand supports the weapon, the more precise the shot will be. So she will just choose the easier to handle.
Previously at an indoor range, she successfully hit a bullseye because her weapons were small and light. But, using a weapon as heavy as a semi-automatic sniper rifle M110, she wasn’t sure if she could hit the bullseye or, even worse, hit the target paper. Rose imagines the recoil from such a high-caliber weapon would make hitting the target extremely challenging to a beginner like her.
