Friends first time shooting.

Went to the shooting range on Friday. It was my friend Kristina's first time ever shooting a hand gun. Just say she LOVED it. Here are some pictures of us shooting.

Ya she put it in the way of the slider and it got her thumb pretty good.

That is the first thing I saw, too

 

[furbymac]

best part was she learned really quick not to do that again. it was just a little cut she got lucky

Ditto

That's good news.

My aunt did that firing her 380 ripped the crap out of her thumb. she didn't do that again.

LOL I'll bet! She won't do that again. She's not the first, won't be the last, to learn that way.

Judging by the fact you said she loved shooting, I reckon she didn't let it turn her off the sport. That is a very good thing!

Good job getting another person introduced to shooting!

Remember to set a good safety example for your new shooters and keep teaching!

Between the thumb and the shorts (it looks freakin cold) I hope everybody had a good time and learned some safety

70? Man that's penguin weather. Anything below 85 should be outlawed.

The first time I fired my Glock I ripped my thumb! I was used to shooting wheel guns. But hey, it didn't hurt that bad, so I did it AGAIN! The same day! It took me twice to get enough of that and I haven't done it again.

Ouch! I think she learned her lesson the first time.

Maybe a dumb question here, but...

Michael is teaching her how to shoot a gun





Kristina shooting for the very first time

If he was "teaching her how to shoot", why didn't he tell her not to do that?
Or whoever the camera person was - why didn't they tell her??
Just curious...
