Somewhere along the way, most men get to do a little shooting. So when they are really introduced to firearms, they tend to play it down as no big deal.
But women, oh it’s great to see them shoot for the first time, when that big light bulb goes off! Not only is the gun not some scary cannon that knocks you backwards, but when you have it, you are the equal or better of any 200# bruiser!
“But women, oh it’s great to see them shoot for the first time, when that big light bulb goes off!”
I have seen it many times. I love to give them a .22 woodsman with a 6” barrel and a great trigger, coach them carefully, then have them shoot at a big target up close.
I have often seen 70 year old women, who have never shot before, put five shots into a two inch group at 15 feet, give a *big* smile and say, “I like this gun!”
