So my dad is a little older the churchmouse. He joined me and my boy at the range to shot his new to him Shield EZ 380 that I bought and he ended up with because he liked it more than I figured. (That was another thread)
Anyway, I had brought along my wife's Springer RO in 9mm. Dad had mentioned he'd never shot one before and I figured he should try it. So I loaded up a mag and let him give it a go. I had 2 large plates and 2 small 8" plates at about 15 yards. Now dad's not the best pistol shot. He's great with a shotgun thought. He was ringing the 8" plates and couldn't miss. Several mags later he finally stops and just looks at the R.O. He said "Wow. This thing is awesome. I couldn't miss."
I saw a smile that was coming close to the one he had after shooting his first machine gun a few years ago at our INGO full auto meet up.
And my 9 year old son ran 200 rounds through his M&P 22 full size. The kids addicted already.
Good times!
