And somehow I seem to have managed to blog two years and some without linking to Jennifer. She brings good advice for taking women shooting the first time:
So to say that we are going to start slowly is an understatement. You know what I’m not going to do? Hand her my snub nosed revolver and 5 rounds of .38 special telling her that’s the perfect gun for a woman. There has been a lot of talk about that lately, in case you haven’t noticed. I happen to really like my snub and will even shoot .357 Magnum out of it from time to time. (I like the fireball.) But it is NOT A BEGINNERS GUN!I'll be going back to Albuquerque in a couple weeks to see Mom and Dad, and hope to take Mom to the range. We will not be shooting a snubbie in .357, and I will be taking Jennifer's advice here - after all, what can be more fun than a Range Day with Mom?
Welcome to the blogroll, everyone! And a note to anyone else who's blogrolled me: if I haven't added you here, it's because I'm slacking off (and haven't noticed). Leave a comment or shoot me an email, and I'll get cracking.
Just stopping by to say 'hey'--how are things?

Could be a new pharma thing for me to research...
Let me know if you need to borrow a .22 revolver (I have a nice old pre-17) for your mom when you're in ABQ.

Thanks Borepatch! I'm really anxious to post a range report on this one. She's been so scared for so long. I really want this to be fun for her.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little behind in my reading, thanks for the mention of my blog, leadandfermentation. I've been reading the gun blogs for a couple of years, but don't comment much. I'm not sure why I decided I needed to start one of my own but I did.
