As active shooters its our responcability to take new shooters to the range and really reinforce their interest in our sport. Sometimes that means going out and having a bit of safe fun instead of repetative training. I like to do my part one or two women at a time. So today after the Valpo Gun Show, I took this lady out to JP and had a blast with her. This was her first time shooting a Compact Pistol, but it prolly will not be her last.
Also its important for women to exercise there wrist and forarm muscles so that they can better fire compacts. Limp Wristing is a hard problem to solve. Try and try as I might, I could not figure out a way for her to fire the pistol without this happening. I know she is a small woman, but the pistol is only a 9mm.

At least she had fun shooting the Ruger 10/22 afterwards.
