My daughter was home for Thanksgiving, and wanted to get a range day in before she left. As rabid Pats fans, we normally spend Sunday afternoon glued to the tube, but since the Pats game on Sunday promised to be a yawner, we decided to TiVo it and head to the range. Kind of rainy, so we chose Granite State Indoor Range, just to be sure.
Warmup was with handguns first. Here she is with the S&W M&P Shield 380 EZ. She really likes it, and I think I'm going to lose it here real soon.
Take that, slide...
That's 112 rounds (14 mags straight) and a 24K smile.
After that, it was on to the SBR's, like this 9mm AR15.
She wanted to play "shoot out all the red" like the cheesy carny game.
Great afternoon, and I got much stronger while at the range. The bags were very heavy going in, but surprisingly light coming out. I long ago decided that any time she says she wanted to shoot, I'm going to whatever it takes to accommodate that, and make it as easy as possible. I load up all the mags in advance, sherpa all the gear, and put it all away after. Whatever it takes to keep her an enthusiastic shooter/spokeswoman. She converts two friends, and they convert two friends, and so on, and so on.
The only problem was driving home without finding out the score of the game before I could get to the TiVo...
