Results of taking my Pastor out to shoot.

dreher
The course started at my kitchen table where we went over basic safety and I drew on paper what an open  sight, sight picture looks like.  Then out to the range we went!!

I started Mike with an open sighted 10-22.  After 80 rounds we went to a Ruger Mark III.  Another 80 rounds went downrange.  I than switched to a full sized Ruger 357 and he shot 12 38 Specials.  At this point we went with Mike's  38 Special S+W bodyguard.   Mike wasn't real happy with how he shot his Smith.  It was about a 7 or 8 inch group.  I than held the target up to my chest and he saw that every shot was a solid center mass hit.  That put a smile on Mike's face!!   

He now feels that, if he has to, at 20 feet or less he can hit a human size target.  He went from really bad to hitting the target with most of his shots.  I got informed that shooting is a lot of fun when you hit what you are shooting at.  He is looking forward to our next range session!!   So am I!  I had a lot of fun!

    Sounds like a good time.
    I can't shoot a J-Frame very well either and I've been shooting for 30 years.

    I have found that "reactive" targets seem to get newbies to enjoy themselves. Like balloons.

    Good for you! The more people we get interested in shooting, the better.
