I shot a 9mm and a .45 at Red's. It was theraputic. It was also more
than a year ago now :-(

I left the range, and took off my ear defenders, just as someone
opened the door, just st the guy with the 222 deer rifle was setting
his sights.

Ouch.

I am a bit of a chicken like that...

Two or three at any one go, that's the most.

Tried that one handed sideways nonsense?

I never had the guts, and I think the range man at reds would have
shot me for being stupid...
