I persuaded my girlfriend to shoot a gun for the first time.

Her first 5 shots:

It was a Mossberg Plinkster 702 firing Winchester Subsonic .22lr at 25 yards. Pretty good for a first time out, I think.

and with the Mosin:

She enjoyed the .22 quite a bit. The Mosin kicked a bit harder than she liked, but there was a kid at the next table, so she womaned up.

I bet you will never have to 'persuade' her again!!!

Good job I don't persuade my GF when people are around. She's a better shot than me, even though she doesn't like shooting?

That's a fine looking M/N!

91/30, correct?

And how many shots did she shoot with it? Those M/N rifles weren't meant to be shot from a bench! Yikes!

Congrats on the first outing! Which firearm does she want you to spend you hard earned dollars on so she can get her fix now?

That is some good shooting, everyone has a 'flyer' now and again...

 

[MrsGungho]

good for her. Kept up encouragement to getting her out and learning.

91/30, correct. I picked it up because "Why not? They're $100.". She did 5. She wanted to shoot from the bench because the thing is heavy. Aside from safety rules, she's not one to do what I say.

She likes the .22. Maybe I'll get her a Marlin 60 or a Ruger 10/22 down the road.

Yay!!!!!!

Her posture and grip with the Mosin don't seem so bad, but she's doing that "I don't really wanna touch it" with it the .22. Did she warm up to them as the day passed? You can always tell a newb shooter by the way he shoulders a long gun. I like to say you should be whispering sweet nothings to it...or at least close enough to do so. I might be the only one that converses in bedroom-ese with my firearms.

She was talking about buying a .22 by the end of the day. The Mosin was a bit too much for her.
