Freed prisoner
We have a German citizen staying with us and she's been very interested in firearms since she arrived. Her grandfather is upset Germany lost the war and hates America. That being said, she loves it here and has been wanting to hit the range for a few months. Today was that day.
We started with a .22, then a .380, then the XD9SC and finally the XD9. She like the SC the best and got fairly proficient after a few magazines.
At one point I realized I was watching a German in America shooting a Croatian gun with Korean ammunition. We are so cosmopolitan...
We then moved to rifle and her first shot with the AK was priceless. HUGE smile and an "I like that". She shot a few mags in the AK and then a few rounds of the Mosin Nagant 91/30 which was too much kick for her.
All in all a fun day at the range even if it was a bit hot. I put my pistol targets to 14y and was still hitting the 5.5" targets about half the time. I found shooting at 7y I was getting lazy because I was settling for decent shots and not taking my time. After shooting at 14y a few times my 7y grouping was phenomenal.
The day ended with me watching a guy shoot his pistol standing up at the 50y targets. I also saw a revolver on a bipod with a scope on the 100y range. Pretty cool stuff.
