By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Ready, aim: Jessica Alba reloads her gun at a firing range in Los Angeles on Sunday

She's preparing to reprise her role as Nancy Callahan - an exotic dancer who occasionally gets involved in the criminal underworld - in the new Sin City adaptation.
And Jessica Alba today played a real-life tough girl as she visited a firing range with a group of friends.
The actress tweeted a photo of herself at a shooting range in California, grinning in front of her target.

Another day at the office! The actress is in pre-production for her next movie, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

Jessica was pictured joining friends at Firing-Line in Burbank on Sunday morning.
Dressed in black leather army boots, she was ready for target practice - and clearly enjoyed the session.
Taking to Twitter, she wrote: 'What a way to start the day -training for a movie is sorta fun.'

All dressed up: The mother-of-two wore floral pants and a casual tank top for the outing

The actress, who was wearing black leather boots, floral printed pants and a matching tank top, switched to a more fashionable pair of wedges, and stopped for an iced tea at a local coffee shop before heading back home.
The stunning actress began this weekend her transformation into Nancy - dying her tresses to reprise her role in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

Fashionable and functional: ...But she made sure to wear boots inside the range

'Bye bye brown hair,' tweeted the actress, posting an accompanying photo of herself with a sad pout.
'I'm documenting my hair to Sin City blonde!' she said.
Posting the first photos from Estilo Salon on Beverly Boulevard, Jessica tweeted: 'Stage 1 -ok it doesn't look that different but it's a process'.
The next photo tweeted by the Fantastic Four star shows her with considerably lighter hair.
It's likely Jessica's hair stylist used the hair lightening technique called ombre, which literally means gradation in French, and has been enjoying somewhat of a revival in celebrity circles.

It refers to the light-to-dark shade of colour used in the technique, so that instead of colour that starts at the root, darker roots blend into a lightened mid-shaft and end.
Jessica's stylist is Robert Ramos, the owner of Estilo Salon, who is also stylist to Eva Mendez, Brittany Murphy and Rachel McAdams, among others.
The in-demand actress recently completed filming on Machete Kills, which was directed by Robert Rodriquez, who is co-directing Sin City with Frank Miller.

The new film version of Sin City, due for release in October 2013, also stars Mickey Rourke, Michael Madsen, and Devon Aoki.
