Hello everyone,
Looking for advice. A couple of weekend's ago I took my girl friend (not shot pistols before) and her father (ex Rhodesian Army) pistol shooting at the local pay per play range (and he didn't shoot me! Woohoo!). Hired a private range for a couple of hours so could go our own pace and wouldn't be disturbed. Went through the 4 safety rules followed by stance, grip, breathing, controls and trigger release.
We then did some shooting with my Colt Woodsman @ 8m, S&W 22 revolver, 9mm and a .45 Revolver (Cowboy action loads so nice and soft).
All went pretty well and group sizes were coming down nicely and 2 happy shooters. Only issue is, my Girlfriend did not like racking the slide on either the Woodsman or the 9mm.
She seemed unduly worried about it. Anyone got any hints for getting past this?
KR,
Scrummy
