...by a friend who was a rabid anti only ten months ago. She brought two other female friends along.
We brought a SxS .410 Stevens 311 and a Winchester Lady Defender 20ga pump. The range provided an instructor, and we shot first a round with 410, handing off the gun every five shots, then two rounds with the 20ga (which they all liked better). On the way back, it turned out that my friend is considering buying a youth-sized shotgun, also wants to go shoots SMGs and they all wanted to try IDPA. They kept saying how friendly and helpful everyone was at the range.
So, there! Patience and logic work out in the long run...though I admit to having had some of my attitudes improved by the association with her also.
