Young ladies first time shooting

Gbro · June 9, 2009, 10:02 PM

We had a wonderful day shooting.
My niece had never shot any kind of gun before today. We started her out with a .22 auto then a BDA .380 (one round in mag.)
Then she got to try the real guns

A 44 flint pistol and then an 1858 army.
She also tried out the Ruger LCP and P97DC ,45acp
Her favorite of the day was the cap-ball then the BDA .380
Her Dad's favorite was the C&B also.
This young lady is majoring in psychiatry.
This is a link to my favorite picture of her shooting today. The fire can be seen in this shot

My first HG experiance was with a Browning BDA .380, I was 9 Y/O.

It felt like a fire breathing dragon at the time.

That 1858 sure lives up to the non-smokeless name...good to see new ladies involved.

Oh my. That looks like one of those incendiary rouds available in 12 ga.

Two years ago, I taught a class of twelve young ladies as part of a program known as "The Outdoor Woman". Most had not shot anything and at my station, we were teaching M/L's. Women make excellent students as they mostly leave their egoes at home and really interesting in learning a new skill. One lady could hardly wait to shoot and another got so nervous about it that afterward, she cried. It was one of the most rewarding days I have ever had, teaching M/L's. In promoting a pro gun attitude or at least reveal the truths, get the ladies shooting. The media always covers the negative side of gun usage and seldom the positive. I salute your teaching efforts.

Be Safe !!!!
