    Default Wife Shootin' stuff

    Couple vids here -

    My wife tried out the 12ga for the first time - this vid shows the result of a .22, then a .40, followed by the 12.

    Next is her first few shots with the xd, for familiarization.

    Then she tried a few rounds w/ the .22 my daughter had been using.

    My kids fired thru about 100 rounds of .22, I went thru about the same of 40.

    REALLY felt good - was a great family event! We ALL need practice, though!

    Cost - $7? for 100 rounds of .22, $25 for 100 rounds of .40, and $6 for 3 watermelons.

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Darin..... where are you getting watermelons for 2 bucks?

    Suggestion: Have Mary practice in different positions. (Different feet forward, side by side, etc,.. Also kneeling, on knees and laying down) Obviosly the reason for this is versatility. Of course practicing is good and one can never practice too much in my opinion. Getting her used to different stances and positions will better ready her for that one time when one shot may count and the choice of position will not be available.

    Not bad shooting though actually. Keep practicing Mary!

    But did you eat the watermelons you killed?
    No matter where I've traveled or how great the trip was, it's always wonderful to return to my country, The United States of America......... me

    Aint it cool giving them all the tools and equipment necessary to learn to use weapons properly. I'm going to have to take my girls shooting again soon.
