    I took a 50 year old lady to the range yesterday to learn to shoot her new pistol, a Canick tp9sa. Actually not a bad shooting litle pistol but a little large for her hands. She had not even tried to shoot sonce a bad experience at age 12.
    I started out working with her with a blue gun. Worked on safety, grip, stance and balance. Each new thing, I explained why each was important. Once she had that down and was relaxed, we went to the line with a P22. This was her first magazine.

    And after 3 magazines at 5 yards

    And with the first magazine from her pistol

    After 3 hours of shooting, I let her shoot my Heritage .22, the Vaquero Bisley .357 and the Vaquero .45. She did as well or better. I dropped her at her house at 7pm and by 8pm she was looking for her own Heritage Rough Rider.
    The bug took a big bite out of her I think. Had a big smile.

    That's good for a first time shooter.

    That's pretty damn good for any shooter, first time or not. Especially in comparison to what I see at the range.

    Also, the TP9 is a straight knock-off of Walther's P99/PPQ, except at half the price, but gets favorable reviews. So I expect even a novice shooter to be good with it ;)

    Awesome!! - It doesn't get much better than that.
    When she was 11 or so, stepfather took her shooting with a .357 mag her first time out. A full size. Classic "give the girl something she isn't remotely qualified for, show her how to do it wrong and laugh at her" experience. Just like the videos. She thought this was going to be the same. Not even close. You have seen me teach. Not even close. She was still a little nervous, but at least she wasn't scared anymore by the time she got to the 9mm. Even shot the .45 Colt Vaquero. All six rounds. Pretty darn good too.

    I just want to know how you keep managing to get all of these women out shooting with you.
