sounds fun , what kind of gun(s) will they be shooting ?
I'll start them off with a 22 semi auto and then probably move to 9mm. If they handle the 9mm without any problems I'll let them shoot something a little larger like 40 and/or 45 caliber and/or 357 mag (large, heavy revolver), no snubbies.
sounds like a good plan .
we expect a full report of how it goes
...good luck , be safe
WE had a lot of fun at the range (Bullet Trap, Plano, Tx) Thursday. My two little pupils were very careful and suprisingly good shots. I started them off with the 22 but that didn't last long. They easily moved up to the 9mm and then to the 40 caliber. I was worried they would be a little intimidated by the recoil and noise but no problem with either. My granddaughter (Ayla) loved shooting the 40 caliber the best. She turned out to be a excelent shot and was very excited by the whole experience. She posted her targets on her facebook page.

They (the targets) have been decorated up just like you would expect a 17 year old girl to do. Very funny!
great report . glad everything went well.
i have a .22 , but i stopped taking it to the range .
after shooting my .45 , its just not as exciting .
