She LOVED it and wants to go again!
Actually, I am not too sure that I convinced her, I just aggravated her enough to where we made a deal. She would go if I would shut up and not bother her about it anymore. In her opinion, Guns kill people and animals. They aren't meant to have fun with.
Anyways, I spoke to my uncle about it on giving her the basics of shooting and told him this was our one shot to change her mind.
So he came to the range armed with a Walther p22, a ruger 22 rifle with a holographic red dot sight and his AR with dedicated 22 and 223 uppers. I came with 25 balloons, 20 clay pigeons and a box of 550 22lr ammo.
Uncle started her out with the pistol shooting on paper about 10yds out. All shots hit the paper, yet they were really low and to the left and somewhat scattered. we hung up some balloons and she managed to hit one after 12 or 13 shots. He told her to let him know when she was sighted in and ready to fire and he pulled the trigger. Hit 6 balloons with 8rds. So she has the sight down, but she is too quick on the trigger.
Then we moved onto the ruger 22 rifle with the holographic red dot sight.
She was going to town on it! busted 4 balloons and 2 pigeons with 10rds. @ 25yds. And mutilated a pop can after words.
Then onto the AR with the 22 upper, that had a scope on it, she didn't do too well on that. But she blames it on the heaviness of the rifle and her left arm was hurting. (3yrs ago she was in a car accident and had two compound fractures on her left arm and subsequently required surgery with a total of 4 plates being inserted.)
So after Uncle and I shot around for a bit, She was back up to the task of the 223 with iron sites. Killed 3 pigeons with 10rds.
Then she chose the Ruger to finish off the balloons and pigeons....
25 balloons shot---- $1.25 and thought I was going to die blowing them all up.
20 Clay Pigeons---- $2 something
over 250rds of ammo shot---$10.00
Her shooting way better her first time than I did--- I don't care! She wants to go shooting again next week!!!
