Being able to handle a gun properly is important to protect yourself and family. In Berlin almost everybody owns guns and rifles as hunting, clubs etc. are popular. My granddaughter's both at 12 and 9 is able to shoot, quite well and the 9 year old is excellent with a professional bow. I shoot quite well, I am called my little "Annie"
Great story and tribute layout! I too shoot and conceal carry. I grew up shooting with my father, and now with my husband. Good for you getting over your hesitance.
What a lovely story about conquering fear. The story is accented by the hint of storytelling spiraling in your inspirational LO! What a lovely complement to the true roots of scraps of our life stories in scrapbooking!
I learned to shoot both a 22 and shotgun when I was twelve. Loved going target shooting with my step-dad. The first time with a shotgun I landed on my butt and he laughed like crazy. My shoulder was sore for a week. I don't own a gun though.. I just enjoyed target shooting...
This documents how my husband taught me how to shoot the target is from my first time shooting a gun. the journaling reads
Vince asked me to take a gun safety course with him, as he wanted me to learn so that I would have protection when he went out of town on business. I was reluctant at first as I was scared of guns. I decided as long as I learned safely that it would be alright. I did alright at the range but I only shot a little 22 and the target was not that far. I enjoyed it but the noise bothered me and was still nervous, Vince wanted me to learn more and I was open to the idea but was still scared. He rented a large 22 revolver for me because it had little recoil. I refused to shoot it though as I was still to scared. I did want to learn but was not ready. He asked me to go to the range with him to get used to the noise I agreed. I got bored after a while and asked to shoot his gun. I decided I liked it and eventually bought my own gun. I have since become a pretty good shot and have really started to enjoy shooting and I am always trying to improve. Interestingly enough Vince let me choose my own gun and he liked my choices so much that he now calls me his gun consultant.
