Took the lady to the range yesterday to really shoot for the first time and she loved it lol ! I started her out on my 10/22 with iorns but quickly found out why she needs glasses lol, even at the 10yd mark she was having difficulty with iorns. But after putting the scope on and explaining how everything should work she was running 10 rounds in he same hole at 25 all day !



She also loves running the bolt guns. She picked up on how to shoot properly with a bipod and after I gave he a rear bag I basically just sat there reloading mags for her while she was sniping shot gun shells and cans out to the 50yd mark. Even managed to smoke a crow target with my .243 at the 100yd line.
Also let her play with my sig whit she loved and now apparently I have to get her a judge because one of the guys at the range let her shoot his and she loves the whole shotgun pistol idea now lol.
Anyhow just wanted to share. Also for those who shoot and have bad eye sight what scopes would you recommend in general.

Cool.

A Monster you have created, Must Modify and improve. First will be get me a pretty stock, then a shiny barrel to match, then a Kidd drop in trigger to improve my groups ( you do want me to have nice groups?? don't you), and a new scope with BDC, ect....



Enjoy the together time and keep both of you shooting.

good work we need all the good ladies shooting.

buddy , she needs to move up on that scope she is probably only seeing the middle of the lens with the rest black around the edges.

see if she sees clear and crisp image from edge to edge or if she is only seeing image from the middle and it moves around as she moves her head.

I would suggest a phone book to sit on to get her a little higher so she can lean forward more but since they don't make those any more maybe a boat cushion

scopes for really everyone not just glasses wearers 2-7x32 vortex or nikon , they have long and forgiving eye relief and you leave your glasses on and adjust the ring at the back of the scope till the target is crisp they are light and lower profile but give as much light as a much larger heavier scope because they don't over magnify being second focal plane as the magnification goes up the cross hairs adjust in size so that you can reasonably hold a man sized target with 7X at 400 yards I like the vortex BDC hash marks they make ranging and hold over and windage easy and fast the subtenses are only accurate at full 7x magnification say you are shooting 325 yards with a full value 10mph wind and you know you need a 2.5 moa hold into the wind and 1.4 high

windage is marked in 2moa hashes , the elevation is marked at 1.5 , 4.5 .7.5 and 11 moa so you hold 1.5 high and 1/4th the distance into the space between 2 and 4 moa of windage and squeeze

as for the judge , I think it's only real potential as a gun is as a snake gun , we don't have snakes here so not much need. you probably have a lot more snakes down there.
and it suffers form overly heavy and big for what it offers.

either way watch this it will help you decide how practical it really is or is not. shot shells suffer badly from very short barrels and rifling and handguns that shoot shot-shells without rifling must be registered as an AOW any other weapon.

Now teach her to load ... then you have time to go out and trap and hunt while she makes the rounds for the weekend range fun etc. Win win

Her eyesight problem with iron sights is probably left eye dominate and trying to shoot right handed.

It looks like she is looking thru scope with her left eye.

X 2

very well could be left eye dominant , check that .

Yup left eye dominant.


Good looking shooter though, great hand placement of the left hand on the shooting bag.

Glad you got her out shooting.

I have a story about the judge pistol. Brother handed me one to carry while I tagged along on Arizona elk hunt. I had a small game license and started popping shots at squirrels. One I had one up a pine tree only 25 feet tall, and emptied 3 cylinders at 20 feet straight up, squirrel well exposed every shot. Had some 6’s and some of those 3 disk pellet shells. After the second cylinder, squirrel seemed very concerned but no place to go, we decided eventually luck of the draw would get him. Wrong. One more cylinder full and I was out of shells. Went back to base camp that night with no ammo and no squirrel. He sold the judge soon after. I guess at 3 feet it might have some value, but I wouldn’t want to bet my life on it.

Yeah the problem is all the rifle where set up for me lol. She's taller and I forgot my Allen keys at the house so I wasn't able to move the scope up so she could properly get on the rifle. I showed her some pictures of what the scope should look like vs how it would be if it was wrong ( buy the way I found that when teaching folks how to shoot with scopes Google images can save alot of time and headache ) and she understood but because the rifle was set up for how i shoot she wasn't able to get 100% . Your also right about the seats. Honestly I shoot on the ground most of the time so I didn't really think about that. As far as the judge she wants one for a self defense weapon. She said either that or somthin similar to my sig

We checked and she's right eyed dominant. And I made sure she was shooting with her right . Again her in aided vision is kinda bad lol.

Dear Lord knowing her shed paint hello kitty on each of the bullets

never heard of registering a gun as aow or anything else. what is that? is it like a class 3 license?

that's great nothing better than both enjoy the same things in life

Last spring I took my 12 year old son to the range (he's been shooting for several years) with an 11 year old female friend from church. It was her first time shooting and she was a little nervous but enthusiastic. I brought several handguns including my judge. She didn't really want to try it but my son kept pushing her. I told him to back off, she could decide for herself. She eventually decided, on her own, that she wanted to try it and nervously took the first shot.

We were taking turns shooting; with each of us picking which gun we wanted to shoot when it was our turn. After her first time shooting it, she chose to shoot the judge every time it was her turn. It looked huge in an 11 year old girl's hands but she had no problem with it.

When we were done shooting, we dropped her off at home. My son was kind of unhappy. Looking at our targets she had shot better than he had - and it was her first time. I told him that was because boys focus on shooting the gun and girls focus on hitting the target. He thought about it and agreed.
