I'd imagine that Bill has a variety for her to try. She should see what she can hit with and is comfortable with, then buy one like it. I've taught lots of folks to shoot, patience is a must. I had a girl who could simply NOT grasp the concept of lining up the sites on a rifle, nothing worked. Then I showed her some pistols, suddenly she understood by seeing the sites on the pistol and then the rifle. Patience is indeed a virtue. POWDERMAN.  ;D ;D

Matt has so many things that he has to do everyday that sometimes he improperly prioritizes things.  I wanted help in reminding him how important it may be for our family that I know how to use a weapon when necessary.

I knew if enough of you were nagging him telling him I needed to learn to shoot that he would make it a priority to schedule a time we could go.  Matt is a procrastinator, but if you know him well enough he can be motivated.

Heather

I know exactly where Matt is, I've been there myself.  I know he works hard, and most likely to much trying to make ends meet.

Family time often got over looked by me......and probably most of the other fellows too....

Matt, no one, except maybe Heather, is going to tell you your working to hard.

That said, your going to look up from the keyboard one day and find your an old fart.....

Don't forget to take a break every so often......

Maybe I can understand Matt's reluctance..

My first wife was a crazy jealous Cajun gal...taught her how to use a semi auto pistol and one night after a youthfull night out with the boys, she shot at me seven times missed all shots ..thank god.

So, after that I settled right down and became a pretty tame man. i always regretted teaching her.

Have a good day shooting, I have to admit that the other day when the site went down, the thought cross my mind that you guys when shooting and the site was no more.

45?? Girl, when it gets up to 45 degrees in this neck of the woods, we break out the t-shirts, shorts, bug spray, the grill, and have a cook out. :D

They did like we did here they didn't stick their heads outside all day long. Around here when it starts in the 20s and climbs only to low to mind 40s with high winds we do not call it a day fit to be out. You guys might call that summer but we don't down here.
