Subject: Re: First day at the shooting range. Any suggestions? by Matatk on 2009/2/5 13:05:33 Jr gave you the best safety instructions and good advice about one round at a time. I'm assuming you are bringing the gf with? If you are concerned about kickback, rent a ruger Mark III which is a .22 target pistol. Virtually no kickback at all. If she/you are comfortable with that, you can move up to a 9 mm. I wouldn't recommend going much larger than a 9mm for your first time out. Once you are more comfortable with gun handling safety you could consider moving up. Plus, she will be more accurate with the 22, which usually makes a person want to do it more because there is a feeling of accomplishment with it. Usually when I go to the range, the guys that bring their gfs with get their butts kicked as far as the targets go. Guys get all macho and want to blow off every round they can in 3 seconds. Women seem to take their time more. Something to be learned from that. Matthew |
