Erica's First Target

In the interest of fair play, here is a remembrance of my daughter Erica's first time at an indoor range.

We had been shooting outdoors for some time, gradually building up her skills as we had her brother's.

The first pistol I bought her was a Walther P22. It's a great plinker and it was easy for her to master it. We spent time getting her used to handling it and breaking it down.

When the kids were homeschooled, it was part of their schooling to shoot and clean guns. Industrial arts for Freedom minded children.

A sidenote: They also both did some 'home ec', where they learned to cook great food AND wash the dishes. We also worked on hunting.

We went to Popguns, the only decent indoor range in Indy.

We rented range time and the family had a fine time that evening.

Erica did exceptionately well, placing within the inner rings at least 20 out of 50 rounds and except for two rounds, got the rest within the outer rings.

The target hung on the refrigerator for a long time with her art work and school papers.

Total education was our goal. It's working out quite well!
