The son in law and I went to WS this morning for just some plinking around. After we got there a family showed up in the lane next to us. It was a dad and mom, two early teen boys and a young girl (age eight, I asked).
I offered to let the young one shoot my lightweight SAA .22 revolver. I normally don't carry .22 shorts but I had a whole box of them with me then. I think a BB gun kicks more than the revolver with the shorts.
Dad had her shooting it and the look on her face was priceless. AFter a few rounds she was doing everything by herself (with him very close by, of course.) I think we have a new shooter who has learned just how much fun it it.
And mom liked the .22 with the shorts better than the .38 she was shooting.

It's also nice to hear a positive story with "Willow Slough" in the topic.
