The *only* thing she didn't like about it was that the front blade and rear notch sights are black, and she couldn't see them. A little White-Out took care of that, and she did really well. We then rented a lot of different guns for her to shoot, and she did best with a revolver, but only because she has a very hard time loading magazines.<br />I guess I might be a special case, as I started shooting a 1911 when I was very young, and dear old Dad knocked any bad habits I developed right out of me!<br />BUT....since I've never had any formal rifle training, I bought a Marlin 60 in 22LR to take to Appleseed so I can get the basics down with an easy to shoot, almost no recoil, rifle.<br />And as OldNFO agreed with me, I'll bet my 30-30 shooting greatly improves after I've had some proper instruction with that sweet little 22!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-78008925740342581992012-02-08T19:07:09.341-08:002012-02-08T19:07:09.341-08:00NFO- I love the Woodsman's here.
