Good job eagleeye. I like it when the girls shoot too. I am on the other end of the stick. My Mom (75 now) just loaned her pistol out to a friend (61 real young) so she could get her CHL. She has shot moms enough that she wants one just like it. When Mom goes w/ me & the wife I am well guarded. Surrounded by well armed beautiful women. Both are 24-7 ladies. I like it when the ladies shoot too.

related stuff
Nothing here that goes bang for Christmas but lots of stuff that surrounds them. My cleaning supplies were really well stocked. I should not have to buy any cleaning supplies for 6 months or so. Solvent, brushes for everything, lubs, patches, a full stock. Mother (75) is the one that cleaned up on the "related stuff" though. She got a new soft case for her August birthday rifle, Rem. 700 25-06, & a cleaning kit. The grandson gave her that. I think I got the most unique gift I have ever received. It is close to my CHL renewal time. I got a thank you card from daughter & son-in-law w/ the fee for renewal class. I think that is creative thinking for gifts. 
When you are 55 there is not much you "need". I got another one that was a blessing too. One of the youth in our church has wanted to shoot my M1A. I cleared it w/ his Mom. (No dad, suicide 4 yr ago.) Gave some instruction Sat. morning at the house then took him to the range. He shot about 60 rounds in 2 & half hours. Started loading one at a time. After a couple, he could hold a 6" bulls eye at 50 yds. We were by ourselves & outdoor range. At the 100 yd range we have burms at 25, 50, & 100 yrds. Before it was over I had given him a drill where he loaded 4 mags with 3 each. Ingaged 3 seperate 4" bulls eye targets at 50, 100, 25, then back at 50 for 3- 2" targets. Don't get in a hurry. Acquire targets & hit what you shoot at. He did well all the time at 25 & 50 but he said 100 was a long way off through that little hole. Maybe my best Christmas present was the smile on his face as we left. It is worth the time investing in a kids life.
