Omgosh, how did it go? Did you have fun, next time you see one of those guys ask them if they've ever passed a No.2 pencil test

I was really pleased. I haven't shot anything larger than a .22 in several years, and we shot a lot of .45s, .40 cal, 10mm, and .357.....several hundred rounds. I stayed on the paper, and actually held some pretty good groups. We also shot silhouettes with an M-16, and that was a hoot. I really impressed myself, although the weapon certainly deserves most of the credit. I'd never shot one before at all.
I don't seem to have any soreness. I was worried about my arthritis, but apart from my sore knees from running back and forth to check the targets, I'm doing really well. The only soreness is my thumbs from loading all those magazines.
No idea what the #2 pencil test is, but it sounds interesting.
