Ok here it is, I am NOT trying to be sexest there are a ton of females that could out shoot me any day of the week, but I have 2, 21 year old, gun shy college girls who want to buy handguns for protection
that is great, and im glad they are looking into this but a handgun in the hands of the untrained and uneducated is very dangerous.
any tips for getting them warmed up to shooting? I am taking them to my Ranch where they wont be rushed and there is noone around so they do feel rushed and have alot of fire going on at a busy range.
I have a HK usp compact in 9mm that im thinking will be a nice pistol for them to learn due to its smaller size and recoil forgiving 9mm round.
ideas?
im thinking,
basic firearm safety
basic description on how a handgun works
trigger and gripping techniques
sights and how to use them
possibly reloading just for education
I have had enough training from instructors myself that I feel I can pass on the basics until I can get them professional help.
