A friend and neighbor (who is the LAST person I would expect) asked me to teach her to shoot.
Over the last few weeks, she has chatted me up about the "Top Shot" show (which I don't watch -- I saw one episode and could not handle the "Survivor"-style elimination faux drama); and then about when was the last time we (me, wife, and son) went to the range, etc.
Then last week, she dropped the bomb -- and asked me to take her along next time.
When I relayed this to my son, his reaction was one of those priceless jaw-drop moments.
So today we took her out to our favorite three-gun range (Clark's in Warrenton, VA) and introduced her to the wonders of the Ruger Mk III. Several of her shots actually hit the paper
The sure sign of someone who is totally hooked: when she said "Wow, that really stunk -- I gotta get more practice!"
So it looks like "Top Shot" is not the waste of time that I used to think it was.
