I agree.....just last weekend I got my grandson started, he's 5 and I gave him a BB gun. He loved it, can't wait till next time he was sooooo excited.

JLA · 09-21-2012, 08:37 PM

I think ive trained a small army so far this year alone. My goal is to make sure responsible gunowners acquire the knowledge and skill they need to hit thier mark consistently and accurately. And my favorite students are new to shooting young ladies. they are always the best listeners and are very quick to master thier new skill.

BETH · 09-21-2012, 08:40 PM

sometimes women will ask questions but the guys don't want to look dumb so they don't ask-won't learn if u don't ask

Oh yeah, in WWII the best Russian snipers were women. Steady hands and great eyes I guess.
