jtallen83 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Here is my 11 year old granddaughter shooting my 1911; Once she shot it she was done with the .22, it would have been much easier on gramps wallet if she was shy of the recoil! Wish there were some competitions she could enter in our area, I know she would do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the grandpa, a much easier task than raising her mother, there is no stress like the stress a father feels when raising a teenage daughter! Neither my wife or my daughter have much interest in shooting but this young girl can't get enough range time and she's a straight A student!

Toolndie7 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Ive found that most women Ive shot with prefer and shoot exellent with a 1911. Thats great, hopefully she can get involved with a group competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJL Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Ive found that most women Ive shot with prefer and shoot exellent with a 1911. Thats great, hopefully she can get involved with a group competition.I must be handloading mine too heavy as my wife, oldest daughter and a friend's wife all shot through less than a single mag of the 1911 before calling it quits. Its a commander length too, so ligher and shorter barrel which may make the perceived recoil worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm a Grandpa too,grandkids are great cause they eventually have to go. <laughs> Grandparents make huge impressions on the grandkids. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Yup, spoil them and send them home! Tom did that to MY grandson! The kid loved shooting Tom's 10/22 so much that I gave him my Glenfield Mod. 60 .22 rifle for Christmas along with a 325 ct. box of ammo. I told his dad when that was gone he was going to have to deal with finding more for the grandson to shoot! :auto: <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 My grandfather started me shooting squirrels out of the corn crib at age 5. I don't get all the time he had but I do everything I can to get them as much exposure to firearms as possible! It sounds like the local schools are all going to start shooting teams, I'll get them all the gear I can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Shooting teams in schools? That's great to hear that! <thumbsup> There's nothing like that in the schools in this area these days. They've dropped the archery/shooting classes long ago around here. I think they dropped them shortly after I went through the public school system in the late 70's/early80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lobbied land owners to donate the range locations. Many LEO's have volunteered to be instructors and coaches. So far there are 5 school districts involved but several more are looking hard at it. There are plenty of studies that show training lowers the chances a kid will be involved in gun violence or a firearm related accident so this was the answer to the school shooting issue, logic prevailed <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you showed up AND had the grandson with ya!... <lmao> Dawn Marie actually talked him into shooting something - he looked like he was intimidated by "the big kids..." but she won him over.

392heminut Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Yeah yeah yeah, blame it on Dawn Marie! He was actually just intimidated by everything! He had never shot a gun before! I'll let his dad spend some time with him with the .22 then get him to shooting an AR-15. My daughter is gonna disown me! I've got the son-in-law talking about AR's and Harleys! <lmao> Edited January 20, 2014 by 392heminut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blondielocks Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'm glad he is enjoying shooting, I guess I did encourage him a little... but I could tell he really wanted to do it. When you're that age guns can be loud and overwhelming, but with the proper encouragement and guidance they become a lot of fun quickly! Just look at you guys. <laughs> He's a good kid and took to instruction very well! <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks Dawn, he is a good kid and he has a couple of good parents for role models too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) And what's not to like about that? Well, every time I bring up Harleys around my son-in-law my daughter gives me the look! You know, THE LOOK! My first wife hated motorcycles (probably one reason we went our separate ways) and I believe some of that rubbed off on my daughter. <dontknow> Edited January 21, 2014 by 392heminut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
