If you don't have a kid, you should get one!
Fatherhood has it's ups and downs.. today was one of the ups!
We went shooting!
Here is Corina shooting the Glenfield Mod 25.. This is actually her first time shooting it.. she is having trouble with the weight.. she is adjusting her weight to her rear foot, and that is giving her trouble.
On the left is Corina at a rest.. we are working on a new grip.. if you notice she has her left thumb on the inside (towards the camera.) I like this grip, because once your wrist locks out you know it is in the correct position. Corina doesn't share my enthusiasm for the new grip though.. maybe after some practice she will like it better. On the right she is shooting the 10/22.. she has had more time with this rifle and is more comfortable.
Corina's first shooting experience was with this Beretta mod. 21a-.22lr, and shooting pistols is definitely her fav'! Today we made some adjustments on her grip. She prefers the "tea-cup on a saucer" type of grip, but I have been roundly criticized for allowing her to do that. So we switched it up a bit so that her left hand wraps her right on the pistol grip.. it improved her accuracy.
Now we couldn't have a picture thread without one of me... ain't I cute? LOL.. ok.. no is the correct answer!.. on the right is Corina shooting the XD 9, she is still a little apprehensive about shooting the larger caliber pistol. She tends to shut her eyes when it goes "bang!" She did a lot better with it today than in past shooting adventures!
and finally.. sadly, I had to put down an old friend. She was too old, and sickly to perform her function, Corina and I had to send her to Valhalla...
Sleep well old friend.. Tell Odin I said Hi, and keep his coffee warm.. you will be missed...
