So I was going to spend the AM at the range alone. Then my wife thought we could all go as a family. (I took the day off) My 13YO protested VEHEMENTLY that we have been too busy the last couple days and he just wanted to chill at home all day. But my 10YO REALLY wanted to go. So we went together by ourselves. This is YUUUUUGE because she has some major attachment issues with mom. Getting her to go anywhere with me by myself (or anyone else) is like pulling teeth. So we hopped in the car and spent a couple hours at the range. I even got her to "make it ping"! Two shots were all she would do, but to her credit, even after the first shot, she was willing to do it again. Bear in mind an AR is the biggest she had ever shot before. (sissy pad probably helped, but still...)
And for Christmas I gave her a vintage 10/22 that Ingoer Simon6101 sold me earlier in the year. She LOVES it! Need to put my Axxom stock on it for her though. still just a little long for her yet.
That girl was also ringing the 8x10 steel plates at the 150yd line with the 10/22 factory irons just as consistently as I was. (about every 3rd shot) If she doesnt get her rifleman patch from Reveres Riders, I'll be absolutely shocked.
And she fired a few shots from my G19 and was keeping them all within the 8 ring. It was a bit big for her, but she handled it like a champ. (gave up after 5 shots because the recoil wasnt fun)
So far the most awesomeest day together. And she said she cant wait to go again.
