Title: A Little range time & 2 First Time Shooters
Post by: philw on December 06, 2009, 05:35:33 AM: we had our Annual Chrissy party at my club today

I took my Niece and her best friend ( first time ever shooting ) for the club shoot

they had a ball there and got to shoot a .22 on silhouette's .9mm with small practical style shoot and a few shots with a 12G at some clays

for first timers they did very well, My Niece's friend also ended up getting 3rd place in the juniors very good for a first timer

a bonus for me just before the shooting finished, my Mrs arrived with our little one and she got to have her fist shot with a .22
:) and she loved it. just had her pull the trigger and had it set up to hit in to the bank at 25 yards

now have to get some strength in her trigger finger hehe

I now have been asked to take them back over the Chrissy break and I will be putting the membership in to the club for my daughter and niece so they can become members :)

Perhaps you could help us out in the states and forward these photos to Comrades Schumer and Pelosi in Washington.........With any luck they'll have aneurisms.

Sound like some good kids. Have fun!

It'll be great if you can raise a generation of kids to grow up and restore more of your firearms rights.

It being a Savage I would think it would be a well made and accurate gun.

Post by: bulldog75 on December 07, 2009, 11:24:36 PM: Good job. Teach them right from the start and they will enjoy a great sport. My 15 year old daughter has finally warmed up to shooting. I have trained a few people, but she is one of my best students. I think women are easier to train. She listens and does not think she knows it all. She did not come to me with bad habits.
