She'll get much better accuracy if you can get her to lean forward a bit - makes balance much better and therefore easier to keep sights on target. I've found that's a common inclination for most new shooters. Once I coach them into leaning into the shot, their groups improve dramatically.puma guy wrote:Our last daughter's 3rd time to shoot her Browning Buckmark. (I'm an old guy with a teenage daughter -Don't ask) I just told her to cover the target with little holes. We'll move up to the 9mm HP or Model 19 before too long!puma guy wrote:Amen!y5e06 wrote:My opinion, for a 1st time piece for a new shooter I think a .22LR is the way to go. Seriously.
When you set the criteria as a budget pistol for some one new to the scene the goal should be to prove something fun and as learning tool/stepping stone.
Buckmark or Ruger.
both under $300.
you can shoot all day for $16
you can really avoid developing bad habits such as flinching with the light shooting .22
when you move up to something bigger you can always take the little .22 along
