Took the war dept to the range today..1st timer

[deepwater]

took the wife out and rented a little 22. she had a hard time getting the nerve to hold it, much less shoot it. I think she's hooked now.

Well Done Deepwater......

So that's the voice on the phone that was yelling, missing you terribly in Ft. Laud?   

She'll handle that Tok just fine,...

yeah, it's like being married to a little 15 year old... same size and mentality.. I love it.  oh yeah (in case anyone meets her) I love her too.

as far as the tok.. it may take awhile before she's willing to try that.

nice work mate



lol   looks like you will need to get a few bricks of .22  before you go away   as she might be doing some practising  hehe

I doubt it, she's still not very sure of herself, but I'll keep working on her and get to where she is that comfortable. oh, and we don't have 'cheap' .22 ammo here. also, it's cheaper at the range.

 Good work, But now you REALLY have to behave yourself

May I recommend you work with your wife on her grip.  She has that military grip from 60 years ago where the weak hand is supporting the bottom of the gun.  She would be better served with a high thumbs grip placed high on the frame with both thumbs pointed at the target.  Her left thumb further forward than her right.  Just a suggestion to see if it works better but most people who try it really like it.

thanks,
I know we have a lot to work on, but I'm just glad I got her to shoot. to be honest, Hazcat will probably be the best teacher for her. I've seen him teach first timers and such ( and helped me out a lot too) and am sure he will do better than I. trying to get her a tourist visa so she can come to the states and do some cross country motorcycling with me.
