I taught my baby to ....

shoot this weekend on a .40!  There are only two more to teach now before they will all be proficient with a firearm.  They all know gun safety and they all started out with bb guns.

I have to say Bean6 did wonderfully!!  I was more than surprised by her aim accuracy - both right- and left- handed.  In fact she did better with her non-dominant hand than she did her dominant hand. (Same side dominant hand and eye.)

Anyway, we went to a friend's house who has a perfect little gully/valley - surrounded on three sides with 2 story berms - shoot not even berms as it is all flat land at the top - and fenced.  There were a plethora of weapons to choose from but Bean6 only wanted to try the .40 - which was just fine seeing as it was her first time to hold a "real" gun and shoot with "real" ammunition.

 

 

There were a bunch of milk jugs with bullseyes on them and a Mountain Dew box.  She actually shot 2 of them 4 times her first cartridge!  I'm really proud of how she did.

 

Thank you mrbrooks for arranging this!
