so it begins......

Decided to take Girl to the range today. First she warmed up with the Beretta Tomcat .32 then moved on to the Springfield Armory XD 9mm. I was a bit worried at first so worked with one round each time then moved on to 3 round, finally progressing to full magazines. She is a natural and is making me very proud. She is a little stuck in her ways leaning back while shooting just like her mom. I am working on breaking her of that but she has a good hang of it now and had lots of fun doing it. Enjoy the pics and a few vids. Sorry, she isn't allowed to shoot a glock, I am instilling her with some taste. :bolt:

Good stuff!!! Hope you can afford her new hobby. :D

[Cris]

I can barely afford it for myself. I have been waiting to do this for a while now, being on vacation finally gave me a chance to go.

[Dave]

Yeah...no shit! It's like me and Ali...everything costs double.

[Cris]

I was at double, now its triple. The class of 11 I have next week will help this out. LOL!!!

[Slowbra01]

pick up ur brass and give it to me lol

[RCSRT8]

Almost had her close to using the 12-gauge as well, now that would have been awesome. Either way she did an excellent job, definitely no fear in Girl.

[Hurc]

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!! She sets the next shot like a pro...

that's a great vid to show her up and coming boyfriends, lol.. right along with Cris and the fully auto, lmao

Dang nice, Cris.. she looks like a natural.. such a cutiepie. Good job.

[Hurc]

Sorry, she isn't allowed to shoot a glock, I am instilling her with some taste. :bolt:

OK, that's just some messed up crap right there!! :fu: :raspberry:

[lino]

how old is your kid? how old do they have to be to go to the range?

[Cris]

She is 11. From what I have seen I have seen kids a little bit younger in the ranges. You do need to sign a waiver as a parent/guardian. I would use your own judgment as to bringing your child into a range. Based on age and maturity. I felt Girl was ready to go and she by far exceeded my expectations of her first time shooting.

[lino]

my kid is about to turn 12.. I am a little apprehensive to take him out to the range with a semi auto.. he is very carefull and responsible.. but it does not feel right (in my gut)... plus my wife would FREAK out :bolt:

[Thumper]

What range is that at?

[ProfessorStoneFace]

usually at the range the kids just have to be with a parent or guardian, each place will have different minimum ages.

[Cris]

Thats at Arizona gun range. Yes, check with the ranges. I only knew they were OK because I saw younger kids there before.

[lino]

so what weapon are you going to buy her ( but really for you)

[Cris]

LOL!!! We shall see, I am still waiting on my 10/22 to come in at Outdoor World.

[Chris]

Awesome, you ever think of telling me about this when we are on the hone captain wieney

[Cris]

I wanted to tell you about it, but when it took a week for you to call me back it left my thoughts.

[Chris]

point taken....lol
