I walked into the range and there was only one other person there, a woman shooting in a booth.
She was shooting at a target 30ft. away and had a empty 50 round box on the bench and the target had about 3 holes in it. She gave me a funny look and I said to her, can I help you. She said, I have to qualify next month for my job as a armed security officer and I'm having trouble hitting the target, can you help me.
So I asked her for the revolver and it was so dirty that the trigger was real hard to pull. So I went and got my model 66 out of my range bag with a box of light wad cutters I had made. I pulled the target up to 15ft and gave her the revolver.
I really tried helping her and it just wasn't going to good, 30 hits at 15ft and those were all over the paper, so I went and got another box of wad cutters. Then I asked her which was her dominate eye and she said, well I'm blind in one eye and my left side is a little weak from a stroke.
When we finished I told her to practice at least once a week and to keep her gun clean. She said she learned a lot from me and that was the first time she had ever had a one on one lesson and was happy that I gave her the help and she said she thought she had improved a lot and then she put her loaded 38 in her holster under her shirt and left.
I felt bad for her mainly because she was really trying hard and I wish her well but health problems are hard obstacles to over come and she just couldn't face that fact.
