So, I just took the lovely Mrs. West By God and her sister Erin to the range for Erin’s first outing with a handgun. I started her off on the Ruger Mark III 22/45. When the RO came by to ask he how she did she showed him her target and his words exactly – “Sweet Jesus!” He wasn’t kidding. I think they were pulling one on me because I watched her closely and she did not flinch when she was shooting.
She did awesome. She shot the Glock 19 and not once did she miss the target, did great with the Taurus Slim, and even managed to hit the bullseye with .38 Specials in the Dan Wesson Model 15. Not only that, her trigger discipline was spot on and she’d remove her finger each and every time she wasn’t actively shooting.
Like pretty much every new shooter I’ve ever brought, Erin left with a grin that is going to take a few days to subside and was already talking about shooting again. She was proud to take her targets home as she should be. That was some fantastic shooting!

Let us close with a verse from the Holy Book of Browning (Old Testament)
Guidearodonmy 30.06 And thus comes the new disciple into the church for they have seen the way and it is true, fair, and loud. And upon this revelation, Sarah wept openly. Amen.
