Default She may be a natural

My oldest son and I took my 16 year old daughter to the range today. It was her first time shooting a firearm. After the normal safety lesson and making sure the gun was sighted in I handed it over to her to shoot. 50 Yards with the 22. I think the scope could use a little down and a little left still.



From the rifle range we proceeded to the pistol range where I let her shoot my XD45. I have to say I was quite impressed. Shooting from 10 yards....



She is already looking forward to the next time we go to the range..

Nice! Don't let up now. She'll make a fine wife someday!

I think generally women are better shots than men. The have more patience. My wife shoots 3-4 times a year and she is right back up to speed after a mag or two. Its disgusting!

Wizzegun, I was gonna say the same thing.

I'm quicker on target, but my groups are larger.

Do these kind of coments make anyone else's stomach turn a lil bit? I'm sure the poster did not mean anything by it. Just sounds kinda creepy, and that lil girls are only here to learn how to be wives and mothers later in life.

ETA. Good shooting.

She'll make a fine wife and cure all kinds of deadly diseases while simultaneously finding a new source of free renewable energy someday!






How's that?

I guess that'll work paco. Like I said it just kills me when a young woman is instantly reduced to either a sexual object or slammed into a sterotypical "woman's role". Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, I don't know?
