Default Re: How have you introduced someone to shooting?

One of my son's girlfriends is the daughter of an old anti gun hippy chick.

My son and her came into the house when i was cleaning one of my Glocks.

We started talking about guns and how guns were always viewed by her mom & mom friends as bad news.

Many visits later, I was going to Greater Pitt Gun club to shoot IDPA and asked them if they would be interested in coming along for a few hours.

She really thought it was neat to see so many people enjoying themselves with the nasty guns.

When I asked her if she would like to shoot one, she hedged a bit but said she would try.

We reviewed safety, shot for a few hours (she enjoyed getting better groups than my son) and had a great time.

She kept her best target and we went out a few more times before they broke up.

I wonder sometimes if she ever went out again or talked to her mom about her experience.
