to shoot if she didn't want to, but it would be good for her to see
how the range was managed, how safe it was plus it features many other
activities and areas not directly related to guns.

I purposely brought a box of those low powered, *sub-sonic .22LR
rounds just in case she decided to try the Ruger single 10 revolver
that she likes the "looks" of. *Those rounds are no louder than a cap
gun going off. * You can't use them in a pistol because they don't
have enough power to force the slide back and eject the expended
shell. * I figured they would be a good introduction to shooting if
she decided to try it because she had never fired a handgun or a rifle
in her life.

Long story short ....

By the time we left she had pretty much used up all the 380, 38
special and 357 Magnum ammo that I had brought that day. *She tried
every gun I had several times.

By the way, the theory that women are better natural shots than guys
was supported by her shooting. * Something about them having hips and
a lower center of gravity makes for a more stable stance. * She had
several bull's eyes at 25 yards with the 357 Magnum.

Too bad you didn't shoot yourself in the head.....and do us all a
favour.
