what I did wrong.
This afternoon
We went out and shot some paper plate targets You wheel gun folks are probably onto something. Autos are not the best choice for everyone.
First we went over gun handling and general operation, this is not the first time we've done this so I probably didn't spend as much time as I should have there.
She liked the .22lr conversion on my Kimber. We shot that until she was hitting the target consistently. We then moved up to the 9mm XDsc. It actually startled her and she did not like the recoil at all. We went back to the .22lr for a while but she would not give the 9mm XD another chance ..... instead she opted to try to the Kimber in to .45 mode. So I took several mags and put one .45 round in each. We worked on loading , firing and reloading for a while and moved up to a full mag. She was not doing to badly at 20 feet with the 5" .45 and I'm sure she'll be back for more.
Sitting here now I realize we covered a lot of ground for one afternoon and evening and if I could do it over I would not have moved her up from the .22 for a few days.
