    Default Wife's first range trip/shooting experience

    Finally was able to talk my wife into heading up to Ridge and Valley today with me for some shooting/bonding time, sweet!

    Guns of the day were my S&W M&P 15 and my Glock 19 for starters.

    IMG_2180[1].jpg

    mine, same distance

    told her to make this a facebook profile pic!

    Would post more, but 5 file limit for pics??? I'm not a pro at this computer stuff...All in all a very fun day and she had a great time. She liked the AR better
    Now less Glock, more H&K :)

    that's because they're attachments.

    use something like photobucket and you can add as many as you want...or at least more than 5, anyhow..

    ps- good photos..glad to see more women shooting these days.

    When I took my wife out for the first time she was pretty nervous and it was about 20 degrees outside. This looks alot more like how I should have started her out. The best way to get more guns is to get her on board as well.

    Ha ha, yeah after reviewing the pics as i was posting them, i noticed the finger inside the trigger guard and mentioned to her that I was sure to hear it from somebody about that!
    Rest assured that particular pic was after we were done for the day anyway and the gun was unloaded, just a funny pic. I went over all of the basic safety rules prior to our trip.
    Now less Glock, more H&K :)

    Very nice, Glockmaster...sorry I missed you at R & V. Time to get my wife shooting again too, I'm thinking!

    True, and true.

    Careful though... or you'll create a monster!

    Mine slipped in a few picks over the AK I was certainly picking up "next". They have ways of getting what they want, and first!

    Glad you guys had a good time.

    Also glad you got her out shooting. Practice, hell even a little experience goes a long way if there ever comes a time she has to use one of them.
