MikedaddyH Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 Took my girls shooting today at the Casa Grande range. It was their first time and they had fun. I started off with a 9mm handgun then the AR22 pistol. Then we shot the AR 9mm carbine. They shot the XD40's but didn't like the caliber, Too much snappy recoil for them. Last .. they shot the ar15's in .223 which they liked and were pretty good at. Been waiting for years to do this but I didn't think they were mature enough till recently. I have a few photos will post later. Mike
planeflyer21 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 Right on, Mike! Looks like they're having fun! We should do a family barbeque up there sometime.
unforgiven Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 You got a bueatiful family brother Mike.Looks like a great time. <thumbsup>
MikedaddyH Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) The oldest was whining that her shoulder hurt after shooting 3 - 30rd mags of 223. LOLThe gun on top was the culprit , it weighs 6 lbs. The second gun did not bother either girl but my youngest complained it was heavy. ( 8 1/2 lbs ) Edited August 3, 2013 by MikedaddyH
unforgiven Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 I thought someone on this form complained about 5.56 recoil?? Not recently but in the past. <laughs>
sketch Posted August 2, 2013 Report Posted August 2, 2013 Still waiting for my girls to come around that's sweet bro!! I've done the safety talk about dads guns and others at a friends house maybe I was to serious but its important to be clear and direct the first time!
Robocop1051 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Posted August 2, 2013 Didn't break out the WSM for the girls???
392heminut Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 Didn't break out the WSM for the girls? If that's the bolt gun I shot when we were there those girls would have a fit after shooting that thing! When I shot it my trigger finger was still healing from the table saw incident. WRONG thing to do!
Robocop1051 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 Hemi, that's the one! After 3 rounds my shoulder filed a restraining order against me. I swear, anyone who shoots that rifle just for sheer pleasure should be certifiable as a "danger to them-self" and committed. I can't tell if Mike is masochistic for owning it, or sadistic for letting us shoot it.
MikedaddyH Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Posted August 3, 2013 Didn't break out the WSM for the girls???Didn't break out the WSM for the girls???Rob why would I do that ??? The last time I shot it I had a treadmark of the buttpad on my shoulder for several days. didn't want to scare them off.

Its like baiting a rat trap with cheese !The next gun will have all of you lining up to self inflict shoulder pain... Then you will brag about it.
MikedaddyH Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Posted August 3, 2013 Gotta start somewhere....She is missing the cell phone and your credit card !

MikedaddyH Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Posted August 25, 2013 Talked to 98 about CG range but don't think I can make it today.
98Z5V Posted August 25, 2013 Report Posted August 25, 2013 I can't believe the guys are whining about that WSM, brother. I like that rig. <thumbsup> Today will be "Stainless Steel Barrel Day." I'm taking all the ARs with SS barrels out, plus the AR45, and a couple 22s. I'll get details up later, once I get back.
98Z5V Posted August 25, 2013 Report Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) DAMN! Another Double-Tap! Edited August 25, 2013 by 98Z5V
shibiwan Posted August 25, 2013 Report Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) Bah... was just at the Usery range yesterday so I'm ammo'ed out. Edited August 25, 2013 by shibiwan

It was worst at first.Soft with the "Maxi-Pad" installed.
MikedaddyH Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Posted August 25, 2013 I can't believe the guys are whining about that WSM, brother. I like that rig. <thumbsup> You shot the hell out of the AR300WSM. That gun has little recoil for size of the caliber but the same ammo kicks like a MF out of the Win 70.
