What a great two days.
Yesterday I took my two nephews to the range. Third visit for the younger one, first for the older, he's home from college for winter break. Both had a great time, the younger is still a natural.
Today I took my other nephew for his second trip and his younger sister agreed to come this time. She kept saying she didn't want to shoot, just watch. My awesome (pre-k teacher) wife first got her to "help" load the .22 magazine and .22 tube fed rifle. Then I suggested bench rest with the rifle. Still no from her. Next thing I know my wife said she agreed to shoot one round, bench rest, with my wife's assistance. That quickly turned into close to 100 rounds. She was barely aiming, but still managed to knock down some some steel plates. Even ended the day holding an firing all by herself. No interest in the handgun, but I still count the day as a huge win!
It's possible I enjoyed the day more than they did.
