Gotta dig my Kadet out of storage and get with it!
« on: March 09, 2002, 09:24:14 PM »
I've been moving around a bit...gotta get that kit out.  I know it will really help my 9mm shooting.
            Now that I have the gun converted to an SA only, the trigger makes the .22 kit sing.
            It's time to get going!

Same here! I will be getting a membership at an indoor range soon. At least weekly visits are in order after that.

I'm going to the farm this weekend and plan to run a bunch of ammo thru my Kadet.
            I took my Advantage Arms Kit (Glock 17/22) to the range last night and had a great time.  It is also a fun kit.  I even ran a box thru my E.German Mak.

I finally got to the range with my Kadet! :)
           
            I had some outside incentive in the way of friends coming over to visit for a couple days. Mentioned that I normally go shooting that night and asked if they would like to shoot. The 15yr old girl said yes immediately along with the 8yr old boy and the mother. Because of time constraints, we ended up going the next afternoon.
           
            I spent about 15 minutes going over safe gun handling rules, gun manipulation, and having them handle and dryfire the 75B. Then I switched in the Kadet and we went to shooting. In less than an hour, we shot about 100 rds. I only allowed one at a time on the line so I could coach and watch them closely. My 8yr old daughter also came along to shoot.
           
            They did great, handling the gun very safely as the indoor range was full and keeping all but a few shots on target. The only downside was the shooter with hot and loud loads in the next stall. Caused the mother to jump several times. :(  They asked me to shoot so, I shot three rounds. I wanted them to shoot and was very happy to teach and reinforce safe gun handling and basic marksmanship. It was the first time the 15yr old girl and 8yr old boy shot a gun besides a BB gun. All three kids enjoyed it. My daughter hit me up again to buy her a Kel-Tec P32. :)  Life is good! Thank you, Lord!

cztops,
            That's a wonderful story.  It's great to get kids and new shooters in to the sport, if only once.  Their perspective regarding guns, shooting, the second amend. can be forever changed w/considerate thoughtful training and care.
            You did good.  Thanks you!
