Title: New Shooter!!!!!!!!
Post by: JC5123 on October 21, 2009, 09:39:51 AM
I took my girlfriend out to the range on Sunday. She has never fired a round. I had her shoot a variety of weapons including some higher powered rifles. By the end of the day she was hitting a 24" x 18" silhouette at 1000 yds. She had a blast, and can't wait to go again. Here are a few of the results.

Way to go JC!! Glad she had a good time and you must have been a good teacher, hitting anything at 1000 is something to be proud of.

She's a keeper. ;)

I wouldn't call it a cheap date, but it appears to be enjoyable to all.

Enjoy!

Pretty cheap, if you don't count the cost of .308 Match ammo!   ;D

That's fantastic, JC...... a new shooter that's hooked. Hope you have plenty more fun at the range.






Did anyone notice that her photos have been viewed more than his?   ;)   ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Great job JC..... and she is more of a man then I am.... I have never hit anything at 1,000 yards (Never had an opportunity to try).








*Am I gonna be the only one to point out that she is hot? You guys are either gay or way to into guns....... I know Tom's persuasion..... whats the excuse for the rest of you guys ???

No....I just thought I was being more subtly tactful about it with my diminutive comment about the ratio of viewings of the photos.

Old and guns ...

Old means we start with the gun and get so excited we need a nap.  After a nap will be the hot little blond, next the drooling will start soon followed by nitro and then another nap  ;)

Careful. I'm already gonna get an earful!

So I will throw in my .02

Yes, she IS HOT. DUH! Contrary to the consensus of the members here... ;)I do have high standards. Especially when it comes to Guns, and my girl.

Second. The 1000yd shot was made, with the help of a good spotter. That would be yours truly.

And last, I don't aim to piss her off. In fact I believe I might just have to hang on to her.  ;D ;D ;D

Yep! She climbs, she shoots, and has mad skills as a nurse. I definitely found a keeper.

I swear! I can't tell you guys anything without it degenerating into sex! The rodentater comes to mind. I'll tell you to head for the corner, but why bother, that's the best spot in the joint.   ;D  There, I have now sufficiently covered my butt, and proven that I am not a typical "guy".  So now I will be joining you all in the corner/man cave. I brought beer!

Take a lot of effort to come up with that one?   ;D  ;D  ;D

1000 yds. hell!  A new shooter hitting at 100 is good and at 1000 she's a natural.  I shot HighPower for a while and 600 is tough.

I agree, she's a keeper.

PS:  You might hide her from some of these guys.
