I found the local public range and took my two daughters and wife out for a day of shooting with a pick nick lunch, and everyone had a Blast, in spite of it being a little cold with some wind.
We shot various pistols, but the highlight was by far my new M-14, only the second time I've shot it. My 18 year old daughter was afraid to shoot it at first, but after watching me for awhile, worked up the nerve to part with the Glock 19 for a while and try it. Maybe that wasn't such a smart idea, because we fought over who got to shoot it next from that point on.
She fell in love with it immediately! I think girls like the feeling of something powerful in their hands. Every shot from the M-14 caused the metal poles that held up the roof over us to reverberate. In combination with the stiff recoil and watching each round hit the berm 200 yards out with a large puff of dust, completely unaffected by the wood and paper target between us and it, was awe inspiring for her. She was done with the Glock after that.
We had a terrific day, and the first thing she did after leaving the range was to text and call all her friends and brag about what she shot today.
What a fantastic weapon!
