I took my girlfriend to the range today. She's gone a couple of times before with other friends, but she's never shot more than a few magazines. Knowing her inexperience I left the Kimber Custom II at home and decided to bring along just the 22/45 so I could focus on helping her.
I shouldn't have worried. After a quick lesson on the four rules and a demonstration of how to use the pistol, she proceeded to shoot the ten-ring out. She didn't shoot one ragged hole, but she did have excellent groups. She out-shot me!
Now granted, I haven't been at this all that long, but it's still a bit disconcerting being schooled by a newbie. Maybe I'm just a great teacher!
Seriously she had a lot of fun. At first she didn't like the idea of me having a gun, but now she's definitely warming up to the idea. I'm going to become a member of the local range next month. When I told her this, she mentioned that she wanted to join with me. Good for her, and good for us, we have a newly converted believer in the 2nd Amendment.
