I was just woundering how many of you guys have young daughters or grandaughters that you take to the range with you,and how well do they shoot, I'm talking about new shooters not someone that 16 or 17 and been shooting since they were 10, my daughter had been dead set against letting my grandughter go to the range with her mother and I, anyways she finaly gave in, and we took our 15 year old grandughter to the range sat, and we all had a absolute ball, she had never shot any gun whatsoever, friday I had her over, and with my CO2 pellet pistol went over the basics, correct grip, sighting, loading the mag, safely putting in the mag and racking the gun,and she got it down pretty good, so sat we get to the range, and she starts off with our Walther P-22, that didn't last to long, I think the air gun hade more kick, she then shot my G-19, did real good, I had been shooting my Sig 1911 full size, and she says grandpa can I shoot yours, I never in my life expected a complete newcomer to do that well with full size steel 1911, she shot a couple of mags and then I tryed a little experiment,fresh target and one full box of ammo she pops into a target, it was the same sort of deal we do for the CCW permit test,she would have scored about 90% some of our local LEOs don't do that well and she never fired any weapon of any kind before,................please excuse for my rambling, just being a proud grandpa
In my experience, women will out-shoot men almost every time, if instructed correctly. They naturally have a more gentle touch with the firearm in general, and the trigger in particular.

Thanks Guys, last night she called and asked when we could go again, i did not tell her but I'm off work friday I think we will go pick her up, and suprize her, only thing is this looks like it could get expensive, LOL
I do ok on the range time, I deal a lot with one of our local indoor ranges, and I have a bunch of range time saved up, and the reloading thing is a possability, its just the initial set up money, no matter how I cut it, everything I need, all the goodies, to do 9s 40s and 45s, plus the first load of bullit componants, not counting brass is looking to be about a grand, I know if I had done it years ago I would be way ahead of the game by now, but I didn't because I wasn't sure at the time if this was just going to be just a couple of guns for my wife and I to carry and shoot from time to time, or what, now 4 years and well over $12000 dollars spent on just guns no ammo, things kind of got a little out of control so to speak, and now with the grandaughter getting interested, i would guess another gun is forth coming, she want a green or cammo something, we went out this afternoon, she shot the 40s Glock, and Sig 226, ruger 10-22 rifle, and the 20 gauge pump, guess what she liked the best, I only had 3 rds of slugs for the 20, (the range don't like you shooting shot just slugs) I think if I had the ammo she would have worn that shotgun out, LOLOR...see if they'll give a discount on range time or ammo or something, for sweeping up brass. Just throwing some ideas out there.
