Range report, I took my Granddaughter shooting - The Firearms Forum

Deacon_Man · 07-13-2012, 03:32 PM

Went to the indoor shooting range today. My Granddaughter has spent the week with me and Grandmaw. I thought it was time I taught her to shoot. I went through all the do's and dont's of gun saftey and away we went to the range. I really believe she is going to be a natural marksman. At sixteen years old she picked it up real quick. Check out the target she shot at seven yards.

skullfr · 07-13-2012, 03:42 PM

BlackEagle · 07-13-2012, 03:44 PM

Looks like she has a good teacher and is a good learner. Tell her she shot well.

Deacon_Man · 07-13-2012, 04:18 PM

She was shooting a Chiappa 1911-22. That was all her shooting that you see in the target. I did let her shot my 1911 .45 as well, she likes the .22 for her.

For one, she is much prettier than you. Two, I feel sorry when she starts shooting against the boys. She's gonns crush some ego's for sure. Good job.

Bonding: a close friendship that develops between adults, often as a result of intense experiences, as those shared in military combat

Bounding: to move by leaps; leap; jump; spring: The colt bounded through the meadow.

She is rapidly developing a close relationship with her grand dad.

Yep; either and/or both will work.

Well, my normal comment on post like this is: Kids and Guns,,,they just go together!!

However, that is no KID........
