Minor update:
Finally got to the gun range almost two months after we were originally supposed to go and I was...underwhelmed. It all seemed monotonous after 30 minutes and it didn't help that an hour and a half of shooting cost $75. More if we opted for bigger guns.
So I dug up my old CO2 powered Walther PPK bb gun, refurbished it and started plinking away in my back yard. Much more cost effective than a real gun, much safer and pretty much the same experience as the real thing IMO.
I guess I'll be buying that Camaro when I'm 50 after all...
