My 15 year old granddaughter accompanied me to the range today. She has shot mostly .22 rifles in her previous trips. Today she decided to try a centerfire revolver.
I had staked out pendulum/spinner targets, those that are about 2 inches in diameter, at 15 yards. She chose the Smith and Wesson Model 15 and hit the spinners more times than she missed, shooting two-handed over an improvised rest (folded soft long gun zipper case). She said it was more fun to shoot the target .38 Special loads instead of the .22s.
It was fun to watch a 15 year old girl focus on sight picture and trigger control with a classic revolver and achieve respectable results. I'm thinking of adding a note in my will...I'm thinking this Model 15 should go to her.
