Miley Cyrus practices with handgun?

A report has claimed that Miley Cyrus has been practising her handgun skills.

According to TMZ, the 17-year-old went to an L.A. area gun range this week to “master the art of the handgun”.

Sources at the Oak Tree Gun Club told TMZ that Miley spent several hours at the “tactical pistol” range, working with a team of gun experts.

This was apparently for an upcoming Hollywood project.

TMZ were told that Miley was allowed to take aim several hours before the place opened to the public – to ensure she wasn’t bothered or distracted while wielding the firearm.
