There is a tactical training program available where we can learn about tactical motion and multiple target engagement. Thanks for the tips from an Israeli perspective, DT.

In a firefight, just standing there won’t cut it.

An example of time well spent at the range.

Definitely go to your local shooting range and sign up for the NRA first steps program. It's designed for beginners and you will be able to learn about guns and shooting. The courses generally include some time getting instruction and experience on the shooting range. Here is a link to our local training guys which has some details about the course. Keep in mind that the fee they charge here is at the every-thing-costs-more-in-California rate: http://www.shootsafelearning.com/courses/1ststeps/index.lasso Good luck and have fun! Well, we’re glad we’re here too, Reneé!

That was my first clue that something was amiss. Anyway, I am glad you are still here! :) On another note, I have been thinking about taking up shooting. Since it appears that you and the Damsel are experienced in this area, do you have any recommendations on how to get started?

I like the 158s better but man they kick the muzzle up a bunch. I do ok with those too but we shoot the lighter ones during practice.

We weren't keeping score but I could see most of the rounds landing near the center of mass. I admire the way she has come to be very confident and comfortable with all of our guns.

What was her hit ratio. Pretty good I bet. I ran a range while in the Air Force, and a lot of our female cops couldn't even handle a .38 as good she does that 357. She handles that 357 pretty good.

Maybe one of the domain name servers between your provider and ours lost the internet path or something. Sorry - glad you kept trying.
