Re: My Wife's new toy
I'm not the big hot shot shooter that some of the guys here are, but I observed and asked about 100 yards in .22's, at the IHMSA internationals. These pros were shooting at 25, 50 75 and 100 yds. the groups opened up significantly, at 100 yds, and when I asked why, they all said (5 world class shooters) that at 100 yds, the .22 is going trans-sonic, and experiences buffeting, which opens up the group a bit.
Some of the guys were shooting sub-sonic, so that didn't affect them although wind did affect those guys more.
Anyway, my point is that positive results seems to increase enthusiasm in novices, and shooting at 50 or 75 yds until she gets real good, could spark her enthusiasm.
As I said I am not hotshot, but I do keep an eye on the guys who are.
Congratulations on having a lady who shows an interest, they are the best kind.
Mine shoots better than I do.
