Travis, if you had been the cameraman, you would have handed her the camera and told her, as you took the weapon from her hands, "Let's move back about another 20 yards and then I'll show you how it's done, baby!" :-)

Then, after your marksmanship demonstration, she would have said (while swooning) "Oh Travis, I just knew there was something about you!" ;-]

PS: My above attempt at humor has made me remember something General Tommy Franks told the men to do when they got back home: "When you men get home and face an Anti-War protester, look him in the eyes and shake his hand. Then, WINK at his girlfriend, because she knows she's dating a P*$$y!"

That’s a great quote by Gen. Franks!

Your reply made me think more deeply. Here’s how I would have handled it. I’d start with an empty gun and “private lessons” golf-pro style. That is, standing pressed against her back, my arms over hers, my hands over hers, my chin on her shoulder. You get the idea. That’s “lesson one.”
