Glasses are no big deal, just ask any of us in the over 50 crowd. Glad to hear she is working with different types of pistols. She will find the one she likes the best in due time. Don't forget to make it fun along with learning about the pistols she shoots.

Awesome! She's really coming along.

I've worn glasses (or contacts) for 30 some years. Just wait till you need bifocals...then the real fun begins.

No, the real fun is if I ever end up with trifocals like my dad's got! I don't know how he manages that.

I think she's having fun with it. I know she loves Cowboy Shooting, she thanks me all the time for bringing her the info on that. And I don't get on her when she's shooting. I go about doing my own thing and if she asks me a question I answer it for her, or if I notice she's doing something wrong (like yesterday she shot the ceiling three times) I'll tell her how to fix it. Her biggest issue is getting discouraged. She was frustrated by the time she ran out of ammo last night and it only got worse when she looked at my target and then realized I shot 170 rounds in the same amount of time she'd fired 60 and done better. So I sat her down and explained why. 1. I've been shooting longer 2. I can reload faster 3. I'm more familiar with my guns... this was just her first time with that one. And I reminded her that she clean up the range with me when she pulls out those cowboy guns! The only time I've gone to a cowboy match I beat her by a very small amount, which wouldn't have happened if her rifle hadn't jammed once on her. I think she felt better.

Pistol packin' Momma

Good to hear another has not only accepted that guns are not evil but is learning how to handle her weapon properly.

I think I got another one! My nextdoor neighbor is considering trying a shotgun! She was saying it might be a good idea for home defense. Now I just have to get to her husband and help her out!

And the shock to our neighborhood... our resident hardcore hippie vegan has a Glock. I'm shocked.

Great!

A shot gun is great for home defense. just keep the three and a halves out of it..hehehee

I got a 835 Mossberg a while back I'm wanting to set up as a home defense weapon.
